Picked up another one... Golani

[gpwasr10]

So I stopped into my local gun haunt here in Los Lunas and wasn't expecting to see much.. but sitting on the wall is a Golani Sporter. So I ask to see it figuring it would have some outrageous price on it... but as I looked at the tag... $595.00.

Now, I am on a gun buying "break" as things have been a little crazy around here lately with me JUST picking up a rather clean MAS-36 (For $400.00) and the PSL-54... (For a lot more than $400.00) But I have ALWAYS wanted a Galil. Now, I know this isn't an IMI, and it is a CAI Golani build... but Man, that was a great price and it looked to be in fine shape and came with both a wooden and a Plastic Hand-grip (I am a sucker for wood), plus a couple mags (I ordered 5 more from DSA earlier). I ripped it apart all the way down to pulling the sights apart (To clean a shitload of sand out of them) and everything looks to be in order and she cycles very smooth (And has a pretty awesome trigger for an AK).










Now, it's has an S/N under 2000 and has the prefix "GAL". But I remember reading that the "F" stamp meant that the rifle had been gone through and fixes had been applied by Century.

Hot it for $550.00 OOD. They seem to be spendy on GB, but how did I do? And do any of you have one of these?

Nice buy! I had a later Galil ARM and it was one of the few rifles I ever sold. Just didn't fit me right.

Enjoy!!!

If it cycles well and groups less than 3 inches, you did great.

Holy crap, A galil for $550, a steal IMO. I paid about $1100 to have one built on a IMI receiver. No bipod on yours though. so I have to knock off a crap, and make it holy smokes!

Yeah, that's what I have gathered from my research. But the way I figure, worse case scenario? I have a parts kit that I can build into an awesome Galil and still be under the price of an IMI.

But, first hers crossed. It had CLEARLY been fired quite a bit as it was filthy when I opened it up.

I have two, never done anything but go bang... Eats steel case pretty good, but the groups open up on the steel case I've tried.

Welp, I went and shot it today and this was my exact experience. The thing is an absolute shooter once I got the sights lined up. I fired about 150 rounds (Of 5.56 and .223) through it via both 3 shot groups and a couple of 35 round mag dumps. It worked flawlessly and seemed to put the rounds into about a 1"-1.25" hole at 75 yards assuming I do my part.

What a wonderful rifle this is. Great ergos, no recoil, easy controls.

Anyways, I am pretty happy!
