Talk:Galil

Is this gun any good?

I am considering buying a Galil after I get an FAL and would like to know the pro's and con's before buying-S&Wshooter 03:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

You got some deep pockets don't you. --AdAstra2009 19:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Buy a galil? From what ive heard there is usually cheap crappy parts kits and never actucal Galils.

I used an R-4 for awhile; seemed odd having a weapon in 5.56mm built like, but weighing more than an AKM firing the smaller rounds. That explained why all the photos I've seen of Isrealis using M-16 variantsFoofbun 06:03, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I read it was a combination of the weight issue and the fact that we gave them a sweetheart deal on M16s. --funkychinaman 16:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Magazine well groove

Does anyone know what variants of the Galil have the indent/groove above the magazine like the milled AK-47s? I assumed it was on ARMs and had something to do with the receiver being strengthened, but just noticed that the polymer handguard ARM doesn't have it. Do newer versions not have the groove? Are the ungrooved versions based on sporter rifles like converted WASRs? Why do all South African guns have the groove while the Israeli ones seem not to any more? --commando552 19:30, 31 January 2012 (CST)

Galil in AKU-94 kit?

Would it be possible to convert a Galil ARM or AR into an AKU-94? I can't see any reason why, but since I'm asking, I know there probably is. Jeddostotle7 (talk) 00:41, 1 November 2012 (EDT)
