    Take Everything you thought you knew and throw it out the window

    The select fire on .308 Galil’s is different than .556. It does not require a 3rd pin. Crazy Huh! I believe there is a schematic that shows a detailed view of the select fire .308 Galil.

    New SAR build issues

    Head separation usually occurs when brass is stuck in chamber. When you clear brass check to see if chamber is not fouled up. A lot of the old Century Arms Golani’s needed a chamber polishing to put them on the right track. Century did not provide chrome or nitride barrels they did the basic...

    Early R4 Wood Handguard Question

    My apologies, let me clarify. I was referring to R Series rifles that entered into service in SADF, those did not have any scope cuts. The LM series is understood to be a civilian version of the R-Series rifle so I do see where Lytletton Engineering produced scope cut receivers to market for...

    Early R4 Wood Handguard Question

    Yes the early R4's being imported from Israel could have very well have a scope cut out, but Vektor/Lytletton never produced a R's with scope cuts for SADF. I could be wrong though, there are many things that I have unanswered in my search for history on R-Series rifle. Keep digging that's...

    Early R4 Wood Handguard Question

    I feel safe answering this one. The R-Series rifles did not come with side scope mount cut. Just with lightning cuts on both side. To this day SADF is having to add handguard rails to accommodate scopes.

    AC-Unity magazines on galil?

    I can confirm(Remington owned) TAPCO is no longer in business as Remington Arms shut them down along with Bushmaster. Could not find any Tapco mags at last gun show 2 weeks ago (and that's AR mags not to mention Galil mags which are less out there) . IF you can get them keep them. Tapco made...

    Replace golani stock with original galil?

    What golani stock do you have? Is it plastic? My Golani came with a South African R4 stock when I bought it. Or you could have South American poly stock. Post some pictures of your Golani Stock so we can help you better.

    To what extent can Jeff remark a receiver?

    Jeff moved my serial numbers on my CNC Warrior receivers to do the lightning cuts for my R4 and R5 builds. Did a great job. I live here in Iowa no problem. In fact a customer of mine is a retired B.A.T.F. Agent and he said that as long as it is performed by licensed builder you are good. He...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Slingshot, Here is one solution with bolt carrier upright handle I found from SA R5 owner. Heating the stem up and bending it out at a 45 degree angle. That allows clearance from the base of the picatinny rail or base of optic mounted on the full length picatinny rail. I tried to PM you but...

    VEKTOR / lyttelton LM5 serial number location

    Congrad, If you can get a copy of the SADF R-Series Armorers/Repair manual it will tell you where all the serial numbers are located. It even mentions special tools to work on the R-Series rifle. I believe that the Vektors where made in a DENEL plant before Lyttleton took over and made...
