Hey Folks,

After getting of the phone with my dealer, he recommended me Gilboa as a rifle manufacturer, anybody ever heard about them?

Long story short... no european manufacturer will deliver select fire arms to civilians anymore (except the some of the Swiss ones), you have a law that makes it possible but manufacturers that play stupid:
- Oberland Arms, H&K, Schmeisser and all the other German ones dont want to.
- The Americans wont deliver because of ITAR
- Wont go to the Chinese (Norinco)

He mentioned Gilboa, an Israeli rifle producer that would do it without hesitation. Now I am not in favor what is going down in Israel/Palestine, but if they are the only guys that will do a decent job and are not Commies, why not.

Anybody got any experience with them? Even if not... check them out and maybe you see something I have overseen: http://www.gilboa-rifle.com

Never heard of them. Interesting looking rifles! You should be first one to test them Do you know if Israel have somekind of restrictions or can they export as they want?

Thanks yes, I actually am really interested in the M43 (the one that accepts AK47 Ammo and Mags)... that probably be a cool toy. I guess there would be some kind of restrictions, but apparently they are even willing to export select fire rifles. So I am happy, wish my country was that good!

Dutch gun dealers would probably export anything as long as the receiving party is qualified to do so. I know the export documents and all you should need is that the receiving party has permission to do so.

Here you need a collectors license to buy/posses FA (didn't seem to stop a big full auto shootout in the middle of a busy street last week) problem is that a collectors license doesn't allow you to shoot them so its useless imo (sport gun= non FA but shooty, collecting gun = FA but no shooty. ).
