I don't know anything about it, but looks cool.

I want one of these so bad I can taste it.
I wonder if they have adjusted the mag well to correctly accept surplus mags |

I'm running milsurp Galil mags in a SAR built on an ATI receiver and barrel I bought earlier this year. All my mags are fine. One or two are a slight bit tight but no extra effort to get in or out.

I have one of these. It doesn't like steel case at all but it eats brass like no tomorrow. Surplus mags lock right in and work as they should as well.
Installing night sights are a pain for the rear spring because it is very strong to compress. Haven't tried any kind of accuracy tests with it however. I switched out the funky blade brace for a SB tactical folding adapter and SBA3. If anyone knows of a Galil style brace that fits original round receivers, please let me know. |

I bought one a few months ago also; takes surplus mags fine.
I did have a case head separation recently, haven't had a chance to check headspace yet. |

Can you use the AR-15-style brace attachment on the Galeo pistol with the KNS AR adapters and the SB TF1913 brace? It looks more like an AK folder, but is Galil-ish. If that's a word. |

Isle manufacturing make an adapter for the original galil round receiver hole to 1913. Then I could use CNC Warriors brace. That would work nicely and look more correct without having to deal with a Form 1. Thanks guys Link to Galil to 1913 adapter |

I have a kit to build one then I noticed these popped up again. For the price its an ok deal if its not all messed up. I received mine today and it was made 12-23-21 so its a real fresh build. The finish is nice and consistent, I don't see any filed lug fuckery going on with the bolt. I have regular galil mags here that fit perfect and I will hopefully have a range report soon as far as it feeding from them.
Shortcomings: The front handguard recess in the barrel is cut short so the lever will not lock fully into place. I have the tools to fix this. The next thing is the bolt handle knob is a bit messed up. Its pretty common on Galil kits so I cannot detract much for it.  If this thing runs I will move forward with SBR'ing it. |

Mine was the same as yours; fixed the handguard lever, and bought Apex's charging handle knob to replace the bent one some day. Mine also had a really loose front sight (the dovetails were loose). It took me a while to find a replacement on Gunbroker, but I did, and it's perfect now. Mine had a ruptured case during test fire, finally got a ruptured case extractor and got it out. Fired a few rounds since, but I need to shoot it a little more before SBRing. I really wanted to love it, but it's just a big fat AK. I need to shoot it more, I guess. |

Took it to the range and ran 100 rounds through it while testing my 33k. The brace is hot garbage, I understand the draw for people but past function test prior to SBR I wouldn’t want to be bugged out with one.
Noticed- Flash hider unscrewed. Mine really has nothing holding it on. I plan on changing out for a Keymo so it’s not a huge deal for me Front sight loosened up. No issues running, this thing fed 100% from metal mags. Trigger and reset isn’t that bad on this one. Not match but not bad. Pistol grip screw loosened up also |

Waiting for a warmer day (at least 30° anyway) Ditched that brace post haste for an SBA3. Bonesteel apparently modeled their brace after a galil knuckle, so I’m planning on ditching the AR brace and going for a more correct look as soon as I can function test. |

From the past reviews I may roll 300-500 rounds on it before filing the stamp. One thing I noticed in a lot of the reviews is that most people don't have a clue on how to build one so some things scare them. I figured it was worth a roll to see if I could save myself the build time because my kit/barrel/receiver is worth what I paid for this little machine. |

I am at 400 rounds on this rifle as of today. I noticed 2 things when I took it down to get a gander at the underskirt of her.
Lug deformation- starting to get some deformation of one of the receiver lugs. I think thats what you would call it. Real shiny on the turning corner. Hammer deformation- The face of the hammer is starting to show some deformation I think.   The more I shoot this weapon the more I like it. I am on the fence of SBR'ing this one or sending my kit/torttort to the hillbilly and have him roll one up. |

Has anyone noticed steel surplus mags not locking tightly? Rear of mags can move up and down when locked in. Anyone had issues with like new steel mags?

Thanks for keeping this thread updated; I have been curious to see what others would do with their kits.
Strangely, half the photos seem to work, and half don't.
