I really want a Galil, and the Century knockoff was discontinued years ago and costs way more than it is worth now. Is there anyway to get a good one in 5.56 for under $1k?
>>30121358
No.
>>30121399
Well fuck.
>>30121358
Why do you want a Galil?
>>30121477
Reliability and simplicity of the AK platform (which I vastly prefer), but it can take ammo that I don't have to order off of the internet. Also I appreciate the rear sights being on the back of the receiver rather than on the gas block. And I know you can get NPAPs that take 5.56, but I've heard super mixed things about those guns.
Keep an eye out locally. Got my golani last year for 500 with 5 IMI magazines. I'd never dream of selling that gun now
>>30121562
You are a luck man.
>>30121358
Can get a 7.62x39mm galil from IWI US currently, the 7.62x51 and 5.56x45 models will be coming very soon.
>>30121673
>$1900
>Lots of proprietary fuck ugly plastic furniture
No thanks.
>>30121508
>Also I appreciate the rear sights being on the back of the receiver rather than on the gas block
...a Galil has a sight on its gasblock: the front sight. A typical AK's rear sight is mounted on the appropriately named rear sight block with the gas tub retention mechanism. A Galil/Yugo/Krinkov's rear sight is mounted on the dust cover, not the receiver. Just some nomenclature clarification for your information.
>>30121861
Thanks. I like having the rear sight closer to my face.It just makes it easier for me to aim.
>>30121721
>complaining about proprietary parts on a Galil
>implying there's such a huge aftermarket for the Galil
>>30121673
>>30121930
Not OP but the Ace looks like IWI hired an ex video game developer to design it.
>>30121930
OG Galil looks ok, and It's not hard to find replacement handguards for it. The Galil ACE has a bunch of stupid looking shit on it and I don't see it getting a big aftermarket going to unfuck that.
>>30121960
Bingo. It looks ugly as sin. Which is a shame because the stock on the original Galil looks amazing.
>>30121358
Hahahahaha
Haaaahahahahahahah
Hahahahahahahaha ahh shit op, good show.
>>30121358
Apex parts kit, reciever from some dude on an internet forum, and either a lot of time and some tools or paying some other dude to make it for you. That's pretty much the only reasonably priced way right now.
Or hunt around on armslist and gunbroker for a non-shit century sporter, or maybe even a Golani.
>>30122052
Dumb fuck
Century sporter = golani
Did you think they were 2 different rifles?
>>30122052
Apex parts kits are beat up, you will have to replace a few parts.
Receivers are tricky. Awo is the cheapest at 250$, they suck are suspect and several noteworthy gunsmiths refuse to work on them.
Cnc warrior receivers run 450~500$ but are top of the line, they only make so many per year though and sell out and have to be backordered.
Gunsmith fees.
You wont be able to build this rifle. Even if you had the tools you probably didn't know that the receivers come with some extra material to be hand fitted to your beat up kit, for starters.
922r parts.
You wont get it built for less than a G, stop dreaming.
Your only "cheap" ticket into the galil club is a century golani sporter.
Galil question-
I bought a golani a while ago and notice I can twist the whole front sight with a firm grip by at least 5-10 degrees, but also notice it's attached with roll pins
did some bubba replace solid pins with roll pins or am I safe to redrill the holes for new pins like any other ak
>>30121960
>cares more about how a gun looks than how it functions
>>30122125
With that logic I should just buy a hipoint.
>>30122332
Hi points being reliable is a meme. They can afford to give their cheap products to reviewers so lo and behold they get good reviews. Same with SCCY and other cheap garbage. Don't even trust Hickok when it comes to gun "reviews"
>>30121358
Don't lie, you just watched Upotte and want to have a raifu foxgirl you faggot
>>30121358
Check thread >>30075076 and the posts after >>30082996 for information, m8.

>mfw gun doesn't suit my aesthetics requirements
And that is just your opinion after all.
I'm sure there are a lot of people that think it looks fine.
>>30121358
Try making your own from a parts kit?
There's a lot of ifs in that happening for under 1k tho
>>30123929
Seconded.
>>30121358
>milled .223 AK of some sort
>put those Tapco fake Galil handguards on
>put Ace side-folder on
>weld turned up handle onto bolt-carrier
Won't be the exact same, but it'll be sort of vaguely similar.
You could also look at maybe an old Valmet .223 AK, those are similar.
Again though, cost.
>>30122776
>Hi points being reliable is a meme
Look at this steamed richfag.
For a $200 pistol, it's a good value purchase, for a poorfag, it's better than literally everything else in it's priceclass and is respectably functional.
Nobody is saying that they're amazing.
>>30122776
>a straight blowback pistol being stupid simple and almost impossible to fuck up is a meme
wew lad
>>30124471
It's fucking brilliantly simple for what it is, not because of it's design (it's just a chunky blowback gun), but because it manages to be so cheap and yet not be a worthless hunk of shit.
The slide is cast from zamak (a cheap zinc alloy), with embedded steel plate reinforcements, Hi-Point has deals with various manufacturers and outlets in their area allowing for them to noticeably cut costs of producing the slides, the Hi-Point manages to be competitively priced for the kind of gun it actually is due to really good opportunity and business decisions.
A Bryco, Jennings or Davis in the same calibers aren't even a fraction of the quality that a Hi-Point is, at similar pricing, this is why the Hi-Point is king of cheap beater pistols.

>>30123929
The ACE is also significantly lighter than the original
>>30123929
No matter how you slice it, the front handguard is an abortion.
>>30124443
I'd love a Valmet, but those are expensive as fuck too.
Aaaaaand now I'm watching Upotte. I hate you guys.
>>30127174
just followed the links to your posts in the akg thread.
Dude just google awo galil receiver and read a few link on the first page.
The two I daresay authorities in the u.s. for galil builds have no praise and not much to say about awo receiver but that they're the cheap option amd sometimes they can be made to work, one will simply not do your build if you bring an awo receiver, the other will charge you more and rightfully so.
I'm guessing you're barely getting into guns. You don't know how to work akfiles for info, don't know about uzitalk. Have accounts in neither, where your stupid little project has been discussed to death. What you think nobodies had the idea? You think awo receivers are new? You think there haven't been better condition cheaper kits a few years ago? Lmao you are so ignorant and its funny how you responded so incredulous to the other anon so sure and full of yourself.
Please let us know how bad your "builder" rapes you on price.
Don't forget they wont do it without 922r parts which aren't free.
Your receiver is basically ras47 quality, pray you got a good one.
Yes if you shoot it long enough there is likely a kaboom in your future.
The difference between century galil receivers and awo receivers is basically the same as century vs hessy.
Issues you will have, barrel timing, bolt lug contact, bullet guide fitment, headspacing issues Kb, heat treatment, extra milling and much hand fitting.
Awo gen 2 galil receivers are still flawed. Google ars orf gen 2 galil receiver review. Oh yeah your barrel will likely be problematic and incur extra charge too.
By the way ORF = AWO
Much like hesse = blackthorne
Ive given you enough places to look for you to get started gather some info and start regretting your decision. I wont spoonfeed you no more
>>30127495
I just gonna save up for a CNCwarrior receiver. Keeping my fingers attached is worth the extra $300.
>>30127574
they totally are, different anon here, they are to spec, everything popped in correctly, i just needed to open the hole on the left side of the receiver for the thumb safety. if you dont its fine as the safety selector fits without it.
>>30127636
If something is worth dong, it's worth doing right. This seems like a poor place to cut corners.
>>30127174
We love you too, anon
Does anyone still sell Galil barrels? The parts kit I'm looking at doesn't have one, and apex is out of stock (and I somehow doubt they are going to get more any time soon).

>hey guys where can I get a overly heavy rare jew rifle with no aftermarket that's gonna be more expensive than a 5.56 ak with a tws top cover and a primary arms or vortex red dot

That's strange, they were in stock a few hours ago... Try Searching Galil barrels in gunbroker, or gunpartscorps

If it's worth doing its worth doing right, amen brother.
My cnc warrior receiver next to my imbel GL receiver.
>>30129402
Did you sent it to a FFL or did you made it yourself?
>>30129689
the CNC Warrior receiver went to an FFL but i put the kit together
>>30126940
You'll learn that not all your personal opinion need to be expressed.
>>30129955
You sound like a faggot. Faggot.
>>30129857
Ah, so what did the FFL had to do with the reciever?
>>30130288
transfer it to me, it is the part that is the "firearm" like an AR lower in a sense
>>30130288
I don't mean to come across as a dick but seriously look up the process for buying a gun/receiver online. This is day 1 stuff kid, that thing about there being no dumb questions simply isn't true nowadays.
>>30122092
I just ordered an AWO receiver and they forgot to mill out the grooves for the gas tube to fit in. Waiting on them to fix it...
>>30130998
That's a pretty big thing to forget.
>>30125230
So why does it look so shitty and bulky?
>>30130429
Yes
>>30131119
Because it's a cheap, bulky gun, it's functionally very basic and crude.
It's straight blowback, which, if you want to have in calibers larger than .380ACP or 9mm Makarov, needs a fair bit heavier bolt or slide, so the slide is a chunky zamak and steel twinkie.
This isn't graceful, but it DOES work, now for the actual drawbacks of the gun:
>ugly
>kind of heavy and bulky
>unpleasant grips
>rough trigger
>magazines are sometimes out of spec
The pros:
>works, and shoots quite straight
>insanely hard to break, can take all manner of abuse, rated for +P
>cheap, literally the best pistol in it's price class
>incredibly generous warranty, they will replace your gun for free no matter what, and usually this entails a free magazine (if you keep it when sending the gun to them), this warranty holds even if you bought it used, ownership is the only qualification
>>30132702
There is a reason that Jamal and crew love these things.
>>30132702
why not use something other than straight blowback though.
Grips also look pretty weird.
>tfw just bought a good GLN prefix golani with 2 mags
>tfw cost me 582$ shipped
Some guy near me is selling a Golani and 700 rounds of .223 for $900. Should I go for it?
>>30128440
>waiting for CNC
Good luck with that, m8. Have they said they're making more?
>>30133147
Do it now.
>>30133183
Is it even a good price? Also, I already have a Galil receiver on the way I just don't have the parts kit.
>>30132746
Yes, because it's a cheap pistol in service calibers that isn't absolutely shit, hence it's popular with basketball Americans of both the criminal and law abiding kind.
The Ruger P80 and P90 series of pistols were fairly popular for similar reasons, though those haven't been made for a few years, and they were a hundred or so dollars more.
>>30133037
Short-recoil in the style of the typical tilting barrel Browning style is more mechanically complex, and the crudeness of the design helps keep it cheap, instead of machining a complete, normal sized slide out of steel, they can make one cast out of thick zamak for weight (and they have a very good setup for having this done cheaper than what it would usually cost), and then only use some steel for reinforcement.
If you're gonna make something that's cheap, it helps if it's less mechanically complex.
Bryco and Davis Arms make short-recoil pistols in 9mm Luger and they're absolutely atrocious because those guys barely know how to do a straight blowback pistol on the budget they're aiming at.
>>30133147
That much ammo alone with worth what, like $250? That's a hell of a deal.
>>30133183
>>30133267
What are the issues with Golanis anyways? Is it worth it to buy one as opposed to building one?
>>30133147
>$900
Buy it and buy it quickly, it'll save you the time and effort of making one
>>30123929
That thing looks like shit. And it's price is ridiculous.
>>30121358
You have to wait until Colombian parts kits start to show up in ten years.
>>30133554
The ACE is pretty well rounded, but it is also pretty pricey, not something I'd buy unless I had a lot of income.

got one of these in .45 its pretty good desu
>>30134600
The number he put on the ad was the wrong number so I emailed him. No response yet. I already have a parts kit and receiver on the way in the mail so if he doesn't respond, I'll still have that.>>30134600
>>30135751
Alright, its a good thing you had a backup, hopefully you might get it and have not one Galil, but TWO Galils
>>30136293
Yah. But I would rather have the custom built one as opposed to the golani. I'll still buy the Golani though because it's a steal at that price. Plus, it comes with a bipod.
>>30136431
>Comes with Bipod
There might be a possibility it can be interchangeable with our CNC Galil
>>30136801
>CNC
Are they ever going to restock Galil receivers?
>>30136839
Not sure if they're ever going to restock on the .223 Galil, Galil Micro and Galil pistol receivers with the scope mount. I do know they have .308 Galil Receivers and .223 Galil pistol WITHOUT the scope mount, though
>>30136965
What's the difference on the pistol receiver compared to the normal one?
>>30122092
>Cnc warrior receivers run 450~500$ but are top of the line, they only make so many per year though and sell out and have to be backordered
Try 600 now
>>30138253
It's scaled down reciever for compactness. Like the AR "pistol" configuration compared to a full size AR
>>30138398
So the receiver itself is smaller?
>>30138398
>>30138401
The reason I ask is because I thought the receivers for AR pistols are normal but the stock and barrel are compact
>>30138401
>>30138412
Yes. More compact and less bulky than a full reciever with a compact stock and barrel, easier to carry in a vehicle or indoors.
>mfw no galils talking about galils
>>30136839
>>30136965
They stopped making them
>>30138460
Really? Looks like AWO is the only choice unless someone knows of another store.
>>30138467
>Really? Looks like AWO is the only choice unless someone knows of another store.
Yes really. AWO is the only option left, they arent the best but they work
>>30138472
>AWO is the only options left
That's for a Galil recievers in 5.45x39, 7.62x39, or the fullsize reciever in 5.56x45. The only recievers CNC has available left is in .308 and the non scope mounted 5.56 Galil pistol configuration receiver
>>30138472
Well shit. At least I get to save $350 on parts and spend an extra $50 on gunsmithing.
>>30138820
How hard is it to build it at home? And is it similar enough to an AK that a gunsmith should be able to figure it out?
