Does anyone have a ORF marked  Galil without Century markings? Im inquiring about this gun on a trade and the only markings on gun are whats above. All marked on bottom of receiver in front of magwell. Looks to be maybe earlier receiver that ORF put together. Were they any better or worse than todays potential nightmares from CIA?

Another comment below when I asked about if steel mags worked. I seem to see most people say mags, both steel and orlites are too tight. of a fit in magwell.  Id hate to think someone ground/milled out the magwell...too much at that.


"I tried IMI steel mags - no good. They were Israeli reconditioned. They were all too loose. I added jb weld to the side of the orlites to stabilize"

Id like to get one of the parts guns but want it to work one way or another... Thanks for any info


Guess I need to get of my butt and build the IMI receiver and new barrel and not worry abut the ORF.

I have one.  Got it from ORF right about the time the Century versions were released.  I also ended up with a Century version that went back for the "F" upgrade.  I have only put about 100 rds through the ORF, but it way better in every aspect than the Century.  Finish,fit, and accuracy are noticeably superior. Steel mags and Orlites fit fine.  I have no idea how the receiver will fair over time.

I have an ORF. Function has been fine through appx. 500 rounds. Front sight was canted initially. South African steel 35 round magazines acquired from DSA fit and lock without issues.

Couple of my Golani Galil magazine postings.  Even with this I am very happy with my Galil.   All mags feed (with an exception) and I do not have problems like others.

my 2 IMI 12 round mags (for bench shooting) are 'loose' but feed correctly

But adding JB weld to tighten up a orlite?? Sounds way too sloppy of a fit...
