Galil
 

This past weekend I knocked the dust off an old toy of mine. I thought you guys might appericate it.

(Uh the rifle not the poster :) )

Another

Sight pic (with night sights flipped up).

Is there a rifle in the first pic??

Terry

Whew! First pic is not work safe!!

/pops smoke

Interesting magazine, how many rounds does it hold?

All the Galil and Gali lderivitaves i have seen/used use an arced mag, similar to the AK47.

Hoepoe

That appears to be the 7.62x51 version, and the long mag would be 25 round capacity.

Thanks TR

It's not the real deal unles it has the bottle opener built in.

Nice Galil (Trivia question: What does "Galil" mean?)

Hebrew for "Galilee"

as in W.W.J.S. - "What Would Jesus Shoot?"

TR,

Sir as usually you are absolutely correct.


What about this? I don't know one way or the other. Some have said that is the built in bottle opener. Others have said that it is not.

Nice poster. Heavy rifle.

I thought it was the designer, Uziel Gal's last name.

Heavy, especially in 5.56, reliable, not particularly accurate, but definitely a very cool rifle.

TR

Very reliable indeed. As you know, it's accuracy is affected adversly by the rear site mounted on the (shit, what is it in English?) top "slide"? thus moving ever so slightly to the left and right.

Have a good weekend

Since it's based on the AK series of weapons, it has their ability to fire when cruddy dirty. In fact, many of the IDF Galil's I saw in Tel Aviv demonstrated the soldier's confidence at being able to fire without a cleaning.
