Re: IMI Galil - Israel's Rugged Rifle
Unfortunately the SAR typically lacks that feature, it*s common on the ARM model with the bipod. Definitely a neat bit of firearm trivia.

Re: IMI Galil - Israel's Rugged Rifle
Torqued the new barrel with a good ugga dugga. Did a little dance because the headspace is good. Machined the extractor clearance cut in the chamber face. Inserted a magazine and realized I forgot to clean up the mag well after welding so did some grinding, filing, and sanding in there. Not many more steps to go…

Re: IMI Galil - Israel's Rugged Rifle
Drilled a 2mm gas port. Definitely could of gone smaller based on how it throws brass quite enthusiastically. Hillbilly Firearms actually told me to drill it slightly larger than 2mm.
I used a round hand file to give the handguard retainer a spot to reside, used some random garbage to press the front sight block on, then pinned it on the mill.
I finished the build and cold blued the receiver welds for now. I might try to laser the partially damaged original markings and I’m not sure how I actually want to finish it so this is how it stands for now. Passed function check! Added an new IDF sling from Zahal.
My two Israeli guns reunited.

Per JoshIronshaft :
"Definitely could of gone smaller based on how it throws brass quite enthusiastically."
this is exactly why I regrettably traded my Galil, I am a rabid reloader and the Galil was destroying my precious brass. I tried new operating springs and heaver hammer springs , tried to fabricate brass deflectors with no luck. I really loved the rifle but in the end with the last (and kind of current) panic and shortages I decided to go all AR style to standardize magazine inventory. they are fine rifles

Re: IMI Galil - Israel's Rugged Rifle
The brass I shot today looked ok. I may get a K&S adjustable gas piston. A friend has one and said he adjusted it so his Galil ARM is recoiling just right. Not excessive at all.
Thanks! I feel like I have a lot to learn still.
