One problem these guns have is the firing pin. There are two types of Galil firing pins, the old style and the new and improved style. The Century Golanis use the old, obselete firing pins which make slam-fires with commercial .223 much more likely. This could very well be the reason for the recall...its a pretty serious deal if you are like me and shoot 98% .223 and 2% 5.56. All of my 5.56 M855/M193 is for SHTF use only and the only time I shoot it is when I aquire odd lots of it at gun shows and stuff. For example, I bought 360 rounds of Malyasian M193 and 2 SA 5.56 battle packs at the last gun show, and I burned through all but 1 battle pack.
Other than this, I haven't heard of any problems with the Century Galil. They seem like great guns, equivalent to an IMI-IDF issue...Afterall, the parts are all the same with the exception of the barrel. I fully intend to buy a Galil, but I am torn between Century/Elite/ORF. I will def. wait and see what happens with all this before I buy a Century.
