Title: Got my new rifle built (pictures)
Post by: White Israelite on December 20, 2007, 12:20:56 AM
Israeli pride

My Galil is finished being built :)

It will be shipped back to me soon, the builder is just test firing it a bit to check headspacing. Looks pretty damn sexy, I had to replace the wood handguards but overall looks like they cleaned it up a lot.

Looks nice!

Galils always look strange to me...they have the AK-47 design with an M-16 mag underneath ;-)  Is that a 16" or so barrel?  I'd be curious to know how it groups at 200m.  The sights look similar to the AK-47 clones...it's nice now that the assault rifle ban has passed that you can get these with the flash suppressor, folding stock, etc.

The only bummer is that right now ammo is too expensive!  Stupid war is driving up the price of everything, especially .223 and .308.

The Galil is based off the Valmet RK 62 which is a copy of the AK47 but improved. The differences of the Galil over the AK are mainly cosmetic. Exceptional changes are the sights are much better than an AK47, the charging handle is upturned for use with both hands, milled receiver (reduced recoil and virtually indescructable), better ergonomics (pistol grip) with thumb safety, folding skeleton stock for compactness, 35 round magazines.

The Galil does not use M16 magazines, they are their own design, I can show you the differences of an Ak and a Galil, there are some notable differences

Here is an AK47 for comparison

(http://www.ak-47.net/ak47/magyar.gif)

This is what the Galil is based off of, the Finnish Valmet RK 62. Note the milled receiver and the sights which the Galil is similar.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/RK_62_76.jpg/800px-RK_62_76.jpg)

Also here is the m16 magazine, you'll notice it's not as curved as a galil mag. Also Galil mags hold more rounds than the m16 mags.

(http://www.oneshotonline.com/store/images/30rd%20Alum%20AR%20Mag.jpg)

Compare to a galil mag

(http://users.rcn.com/philistine/galil/Galil_556_Mags.jpg)

It's possible for a galil to take AR15 magazines with a AR15 mag adapter though I don't see why anyone would want to lose the extra 5 round capacity provided with the galil mags.

While an AK47 is a great weapon, the Galil is an improved AK47, although some people don't like milled receivers due to how heavy they are. The ak47 is a stamped receiver.

Mine is the 18" barrel

In regards to ammo, I purchased some czech .223, some mexican ammo (Aquila), Lake City M855 (green tip), and some wolf .223 (Russian). Got about 600 rounds for the range. I need to get at least 3000 rounds before i'm satisfied.

I'll get some video at the range for you guys :-D

Actually theres a large misconception, the assault weapon ban didn't prevent you from owning these guns. There were guns known as "Preban" and "afterban" it banned new manufacture of the guns, the only difference now is that you can now modify a post ban gun and get the threaded barrel or folding stock and over 10 round mags.

Unfortunately the Galil is still banned for import, only about 10,000 made it into the country :(

Wow she's beautiful.
All I ever got to fire during service was the M-16 M2 riffle. I'm only familiar with the M16 magazine too. The day we were going to fire other weapons, I was sick :(
One day, I'd like to try others, that would be great.

Mills, I didn't know you were in the...Army?  Marines?

Uh...wars are won with rifles?

Seriously, when the SHTF (excrement hits the fan), we're going to need a way to fight back. And the constitution protects that right, Torah demands self defense and keeping your sword by your side, the rifle is our modern day sword.

Plus I like military history and collecting military rifles.

The constitution wasn't written so we could go duck hunting.

I know LOL It's just all very interesting to me.

Even if I did hunt, I don't think my rifle would be very good for hunting, it's a 5.56/.223 (NATO round) which is basically a .22 with a lot of gun powder behind it. Not very good for taking down a deer, the .223 is still highly questionable in terms of effectiveness though it's really about shot placement more than anything. Some say the .223 has a advantage being a light round with the tumbling effect when it hits flesh though this could be due to barrel twist more than anything.

Actually there are some differences with the .223/5.56, they are not exactly the same but almost identical, a gun that is chambered for 5.56 will shoot .223 without a problem but a gun labeled .223 generally shouldn't be used to shoot 5.56.

This will be my next rifle

a FN FAL

:D

.308 is a nice size round.

Also Rudy, I have handguns for personal protection as well, won't post them all up but heres my H&K USP .45, 12 round mags.

German guns aren't cheap but their built like a rock

That ones a bit too bulky to conceal but I am ordering a Jericho 941 (baby eagle) for concealment in .45, full steal gun :)

How is hunting prohibited in Judaism? If the animal is kosher, what's the problem? Does the animal have to be farmed in order to be kosher?

Yes.

Flesh "torn in the field" (hunted) is not kosher. Domestic animals that "have a cloven hoof and chew the kud" are the only acceptable mamals a Jew can eat.

I fired the 7.62mm FN in the RAF cadets. Heavy, one heck of kick and a difficult sight. Unless you're a 200 lb 6'1" beefy Hassid, I'd go for something smaller! Small-framed Israeli soldiers found the FN painingly too long and powerful in 1967.

I have seen that South Africa uses the Galil as well under the designation R4. Looks like there were a few changes to it with the stock and the gas tube. I wouldn't mind an original R4. What is the South African R2-5?

That's not my matress lol, actually I don't have the gun right now, those pictures were taken by the gun builder. I will be getting that gun shipped back to me hopefully tomorrow. I had it built from a milsurplus kit and he cleaned it up. He just sent me pictures to show me how it looks so far.

I've got one of those comfy matresses that mold when you lay on it, extra comfy and easy to sleep on.

Oh yeah that's Knob Creek, that's in Kentucky. I am going there this year in April. That is one of the largest machine gun shoots in the country. The dealers have super low prices, a bunch of my friends from paltalk and I (from a gun room I run on paltalk) are meeting there. A bunch of our members met up there last year. I have some money saved as I intend to buy a few SKS's (grease them up with cosmoline and bury them for safe keeping) and I need to pick up a rockriver AR15. Not a fan of AR15's but it's a nice gun for at the shooting range.

I wouldn't mind shooting a few machine guns either, heck if anyone wants to meet up at knob creek let me know.

This explains why hunting is prohibited.

http://www.jewfaq.org/animals.htm

Hunting for survival (if you are starving and there is no other option) I believe is acceptable if your life is in danger.

Why are Jews prohibited from going hunting? 

Not really prohibited from going hunting, Jews are prohibited from eating meat from the kill because it isn't kosher. A big part of what makes meat kosher is how the animal was killed. The act of hunting isn't prohibited I don't think, if a Jew goes hunting for a trophy he's not going to eat, or gives the meat to his gentile pal that he went hunting with I imagine that'd be okay.

Personally, I'm way to much of a city boy to see the fun in hunting, can't get my head around dealing with gutting the animal after killing it, I'd be throwing up being elbow deep in gore like that.  :::D

My grandpa took me hunting when I was younger in Wisconsin, i've dressed a deer, it really wasn't as disgusting as it looks. This was of course before I realized hunting wasn't kosher.

I know a few Jews who hunt but unfortunately most of the Jews I lived with when I lived in Chicago were very anti-gun. They never could understand the idea of owning a gun and that drove me nuts. I wish more Jews did own guns, I think there are a few Jews who own guns like a .38 revolver in their closet or maybe a .22 rifle for plinking but that's about it. I'm sure there are Jews who own AK47's and what not but it probably isn't very many. I've never seen a Jew at the shooting range, i've seen a muslim family shooting before though, the father had a HK91, I was drooling over it.

I prefer the Colt, only because it's an A3 so I can put all sorts of cool stuff on the rails.  The Bushy was made during the ban, so there's no flash suppressor on it...lame.  But otherwise it's a standard AR-15 clone.  Colt isn't making AR-15s any more and I haven't really followed that scene since the mid-90s, so I don't know what brand I'd recommend...Bushmaster is good, there may be better ones.

I like the Mossberg better than the Remington 870, though the later is more common.  I like the Mossberg's safety better, though some people say otherwise.  I have a nice Choate folding stock on it, and also a straight stock and a pistol-grip stock if I wanted to tuck it in my trenchcoat.  Well, OK, I don't even own a trenchcoat...

I want to get a Desert Eagle. Wanted one since seeing it in the movie The Matrix. (Agent Smith's gun)  8)

Overpriced paperweight if you ask me.

There's better choices for half the money.

But it's the world's most powerful handgun, even more powerful than Dirty Harry's!  O0


The  500 S&W MAGNUM REVOLVER  has more power ;)

The problem with any of these guys is that you could never afford the ammo to shoot several thousand rounds to get comfortable with it.

Also, who cares about these gigantic rounds...a .45ACP round will stop a man dead in his tracks.  So will a .40S&W for all but the most extreme situations.  Either of those rounds is far more controllable than something like a .500 S&W.  Heck, I personally find a .357 Magnum is only usable in a big heavy 8" barrel revolver.

My carry gun is a five-shot .357 snub, from which I shoot .38 +P hollow point.  If I need more than five shots, I'm in way over my head.  If five shots of .38 +P doesn't stop someone, nothing will.  To be honest, I don't carry all that often - I can't carry at work, and I can't even park my car and leave the gun in it.  I don't carry at home.  So that leaves really only evening trips out, where I carry depending on what I'm doing.

The M1911 is, in my opinion, the finest handgun ever made and the .45ACP round is superb.  But for a lot of people, I'd recommend a Glock - simple to maintain, simple to use, and it avoids the "first shot is a hard pull, subsequent shots are easy" problem of double-action automatics.  I wouldn't want to trust my life to anything smaller than a 9mm (though lots of people carry .380s)...but I prefer the "big and slow" bullets instead of the "small and fast" rounds like 9mm.

Okay, I'll have to check it out.  :)

Hey, when Boeregeneraal eventually comes to the states for a vacation, lets all meet up and take him shooting.  O0

I ain't stepping foot in New York, your free to meet me in Florida or Alabama or any other free state however ;)

Yep I love the .45 ACP, my H&K USP is chambered in .45, I use Federal Hydrashok hollowpoints. It's my nightstand gun. I've considered a SIG P220 but the finish wears really easy on it, might send it out to Arizona Response Systems to get a new finish on it.

I just need a concealment gun.

I'm not a fan of the 9mm.

Well yeah, that's what I had in mind, Florida specifically, I have loads of friends in Tampa. Can't shoot in NYC anyway, it's the Soviet Socialist People's Republic of New York City, there's no Constitution or Second Ammendment here apparently.  ;D

My rifle is going to be delayed, they weren't able to ship it out yesterday :(. I'll get it probably this Wednesday. They can ship it directly to my house since I already own it, can't wait. I need to buy more Galil mags.

Israeli pride

My Galil is finished being built :)

It will be shipped back to me soon, the builder is just test firing it a bit to check headspacing. Looks pretty damn sexy, I had to replace the wood handguards but overall looks like they cleaned it up a lot.



She is very nice indeed.

Not sure what you mean by that term, but it was developed by the Israelis and held up great for them.

'Gnarly' is a surfer term.

It means 'formidable'.

Its not an insult.

Ah ok, thanks. I was showing a Jewish friend the gun with the wood handguards before I had them swapped out and she said it looked primitive. I told her it was Israeli designed and newer than the M16, she went completely quiet.

Yep hopefully everything goes ok next week. I don't know in specific where the place is, my friend wanted me to carpool with him and then it started pouring. If plans don't work out for Alabama, i'll call my other friend who's girlfriends father owns 750 acres of land out in the middle of no where and see if we can work out something. He's a bit unreliable but I will definitely have some good video and post a new thread when I get it :)
