None have shipped to customers yet. Atlantic is supposed to be getting them "soon" and I'm sure they'll have videos up for demo purposes when they do. They won't knowingly sell junk.
ATI had some for demos at SHOT this year, and the folks that played with them liked them. The real proof will be when they ship. I am watching with great interest. |

Atlantic Firearms has been testing a few of the ATI Galeo Galil style rifles .Thus far they have worked very well and appear to be a solid Galil type rifle offering . Hope to do more testing this week and will test with Wolf steel case ammo.

Orlite mags do not lock in. The original Galil parts on the rifle are well-used, especially the handguard, which, by the way appears to be cut for the bipod. The flash suppressor has the rifle grenade spring/wire near the base. Bayonet lug and bipod mounting base are present. The rifle came shipped in a hard case with one Tapco mag. Thanks, Aim Surplus!

that's kinda disappointing that they're using surplus furniture. Banged up surplus is still better than that crap Century was putting on theirs though. Good looking rifle. Bi-pods are going to be even harder to find now.
ETA: noticed no scope mount cut, not that you can find those easily either I suppose. |

I took the bird in the hand approach. You can always pick up a wood handle one later when they get released.

We have shipped a few of the Galeo Galil Rifles out to be reviewed and thus far have had positive feedback . Hopefully we will start to see some feedback from others as these look to be a solid value for 999.00

took mine out today. It ran 100% with the tapco mag and feels great.
the down side was the surplus steel mags didn't do so well. the fit and lock up was great but the left stack of rounds would not strip off in some of the mags. the bottom of the bolt would ride right over them |

Mine came in today as well, same issue original Mags FTF , multiple rounds smashed by bolt . Tapco mag ran fine
 . Also rear night sight missing . Has regular sport hand guard, which is fine I have extra wood ones . Side folder and grip show normal use. Decent looking rifle.However if it doesn’t run with original mags, I have no use for it. Will disassemble and clean rifle and mags, and test again. |

Anyone got a source for wood handgaurds? I want a set for my galil. |

Other than pricing, the barrel ban doesn't bother me.
I'd be happy to get American barrels on most surplus guns, save the German ones. |

I just got hand-cycling my Geleo using a surplus mag. Three times the bolt had trouble catching the base of the cartridge and ended up over-riding it and denting the crap out of the case. I reloaded the mag and it happened again twice. This sucks.
I will wait and see what really happens with a handful of surplus mags when I actually shoot it, but I don't have high hopes. The springs in the mags feel weak. |

2nd attempt with this rifle. Disassembled rifle cleaned all the grease out of it, then went through 5 surplus mags cleaned/lubed reassembled.
Again attempted test fire. Bolt slides over cartridge about every other round smashing unfired casing. FTF after FTF tried 5 surplus mags and tapco that came with rifle. same results with all. flash hider was also finger tight as well. Also missing rear night sight. Save your money until this company can get it right. |

2nd attempt here, as well. 7 surplus steel mags did not feed in my rifle (I have more than 7 mags but gave up trying after 7 in a row). The bolt face seemed to have a difficult time catching the rim of the cartridge to feed it and would over-ride it instead. None of my 4 surplus Orlite mags would lock-in. The Tapco mag that came with the rifle was the only one that would both lock-in and feed just fine. Now I see why ATI ships these rifles with a Tapco mag instead of the surplus steel mags.
The magazine wells of these receivers are out-of-spec. |

Yes, sadly I'm hearing more and more examples of this issue with ATI denying any warranty because the rifles work with the magazine provided.

I must have bad luck with US-assembled Israeli weapons. A few years ago I got an Uzi (Group Industries semi-auto) and that thing didn't feed worth a damn, either. I had to sell it at a loss. Now I finally get a Galil and the same thing happens. I guess if I really want to keep this one and use it I'll have to ditch my stash of surplus magazines and stock up on Crapco mags.

At least the AF crew keeps their customers first and won't ship crap out. We need an Atlantic Mfg Galil!
