Jmikesteen What is on your mag well is that a convertion of some kind?

[Last Edit: jmikesteen] [#2]
No it is one of my collection of AR15 mag adapters, There were five different ones made. Two of them had lock out pins to prevent accidental removal of the adapter. the one in the picture is one of those. Here are all five together. They work so well and I have so many AR mags that I don't have a big supply of Galil mags. I just keep one or two of each type for the collection. By the way does anyone here have any Aluminum Galil 35 round mags? I have 3 and they are pretty scarce.

Those are late model 62S handguards. The butt Stock is a Galil.  Rod Maurer at Fidelisfirearms.com converts the Galil stocks to fit wood stocked 62's without modifing the rifle only the Galil stock.

Levallois, that Valmet rocks ! Which model # is that one ? I'm putting it on my wants list.

hkusp,

Thanks!  I've always wanted one.  It's a Model 76 FS or folding stock in .223 and I was lucky to find it at a price I could afford.  I should warn you that the expensive part of owning a Valmet are the magazines - they run $100-150 each for 30-round factory and $60-70 for Tromix (if you can find them).  Other than mine and one that sold on Gunbroker recently (with a missing part and non-factory mags) I didn't see another folder for less than $2K, but with patience and luck you could probably find another.  Good luck!!

John

I just got this refinished Sporter ARM back from Jayson at IGF.  It looks MUCH better than the one I sent him originally.

It's an SBR. If the '86 ban does goes away though, you better believe that it will be made into a full auto in a heartbeat. The same goes for my other SBR's.

Thank You Jim, I really love your galil, been trying to locate one myself...What are the chances the ban going away? Would that drive down some prices? I see here how crazy the prices have gotten on class 3.

I don't see the ban disappearing for a while if ever. What really gets me is the fact that I went through the same hoops for an SBR as I would have for a full auto. What a bunch of crap.

Yeah I can imagine how that is. That is what gets me is that all the paperwork and the wait and dont really know how much something like yours would run me..

My new Galil ARM




Link Posted: 10/27/2006 1:19:17 PM EDT
[Last Edit: pbrstreetgang] [#27]
i'll play.

i got worked-up and decided to be a show-off...
galil ARM and accessories- pretty much everything i have except more mags and uniforms. as you can see, i'm ready for the next intifada, though most of my neighbors are Indian- and already know i'm crazy.
the AR will eventually be made into a SAR. at the bottom you can see the parts i have collected thus far. i need a gasblock yet. if you have one, drop me an email.
otherwise i will be forced to destroy the barrel and re-work the one i have on the gun.



the ARM is an action arms. i got it in new condition, still covered in cosmo, with very light handling wear and no evidence of carbon on the piston. just no box. i swapped the handguard retainer for one with the carry-handle removed, and the flashider for the slotted military one. i missed out on a new handguard- one not cut for the carry handle- on ebay. pretty much the last part i needed to represent a late production galil as used by IDF. i hope the guy who sniped it enjoys it.

the AR started as a 16" ARM. its an 'S' model, so i have no fear of destroying it's value
i look forward to returning it's israeli made parts after it becomes an SBR. too bad there is no such thing as a transferable ak conversion sear, i bet they're fun in full-auto.



someday...

There is such a thing as a transferable AK sear, but they're all permanently installed in host guns .  I had a Valmet M78 converted to full auto by Fleming that used a registered sear.

Very Nice!  Was it built in South Africa or did you find R5 parts and build them up on a Galil receiver.

Is the bulge on the gas tube or the gas block.  I've never seen either like that.

Where did you get the rail?


here is a video of me shooting my South african police force issued R5 with red dot! not a good quality but still a nice vid. i would love to get some of the extras avaliable in the us!s163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/jar_head_album/SAPS/?action=view¤t=sitingtheR5.flv
