Can someone who has Galil MAR can share detailed pics of front sight/gas block (with hand guard off) please?

How does exactly front sight post is mounted in the sight block? thread like on AK? I have a sight/gas block combo that looks like MAR or maybe Hadar. It's stripped hole for the sight post however seems completely smooth and threaded.

Also, is there any source in the US that sells sight parts for MAR (front and rear)? Both of my sights came stripped completely. need to rebuild but can't find any spares anywhere.
Any help is appreciated.

I remember you having two of them... now they somehow became five?

What is this magic you use?

Looks nice! I least I can say I contributed to your collection in a few good awesome ways.

But hey; your the sniper guy.

My parts lot cache missed out on the last breeding season.

Interesting pic -- each of these guys appears to have at least one Galil rifle grenade mounted to his chest. Those are rare to see photographed in the wild!

Based on their rubber boots and no military insignias these guys are FARC guerillas from Colombia. I did not catch it the first time but all those rifles are 7.62MM. I see the standard AR model (center) with the 20" barrel. But I will have to say that the other 2 look to be SAR"s but with longer 18" barrels. I know for a fact in talking with Adipose the barrel length on a standard .308 Galil SAR is 16". So these 2 guns are they AR's or SAR's?

 

[RSR]

Classic Galil -- the .308 barrel lengths are 15.7" for SAR and 21.1" for both AR and ARM as I understand it. These would have been primarily made in Israel.

Galil ACE -- the .308 barrel lengths are 16" for ACE 52 (SAR equivalent), 18" for Ace 52L (AR equivalent), and 20" for the ACE 53 (ARM equivalent). These would have been primarily made in Columbia.

I agree with you that the barrels look to be more 18" than 16", so it might be a Columbia-specific variant w/ 18" barrels -- an early customization/modification preceding the ACE...

My version of an Estonian Galil SAR.

Found a B&T fore grip.......in tan painted black. May take put the light as this is becoming an exercise just to pick it up.

Welcome to "the files" marcoc!

 

[marcoc]

Thanks. Looks like I'm going to like it here!

Had to at least find out if it is at all feasible to have a magnifier work that far from the red dot (some of the the Estonia Galil SARs were set up this way). Cannot find the mount in the Estonia Galil SAR pictures (googled) but found a railed AK top cover that works...I think and mounted (cheap mount I had) and a new vortex (good reviews for the price) magnifier and....Voila! It works! When I do get some extra $$$ I'll get an eotech or aim point magnifier.

Tried an Aimpoint magnifier but am getting a better sighting with the Vortex so this may be the final Estonia Galil SAR....found a B&T lightweight bipod.....this thing needs it!
