Micro Galil

[Bret]

My Micro Galil build arrived at my local FFL. I went by today and took a look at it.





Jeff at Hillbilly Firearms built it on a CNC Warrior receiver. The kit was from a new demilled rifle which included all of the parts save for the receiver. It will transfer to me on a Form 4. Now I just have to wait 6 to 8 months to take it home. It's not as heavy as I expected and the iron sights are pretty nice. I can't wait to shoot it.

That is very nice. What's the barrel length on these?

[Bret]

8.5" according to the Form 4 that my FFL filled out. The CNC Warrior website says 7". I'll have to go by my FFL and measure it myself prior to sending off the Form 4.

Nice! I love to see unique guns from the 80's. I'm tired of seeing SBR ARs. I think even my grandma has one on a Form 1 now.

[KalashniKEV]

That's awesome!

I wish IWI was importing these instead of the ACE.

Agreed. I'd give a kidney for an R4

I went by and fondled it again today. It's 8.5" from the bolt face to the crown of the barrel.

Ha very nice! Ya don't see very many of those around.

I got to thinking that it had been well over four months and I had not received a call that the Form 4 was approved for my Micro Galil. So, I went by the gun store and, sure enough, they had the approved Form 4. Seems they left a voice mail message on our home answering machine three weeks prior and my wife forgot to let me know once again. I got it and will let you know how it shoots.

[Bret]

Well, I forgot to provide an update. As you'd expect, it runs as smooth as can be and has been 100% reliable. If you can get your hands on a Micro Galil built by Jeff at Hillbilly Firearms, don't hesitate. This rifle and my Sig 556 SBR are pretty much tied as my favorites.

I added a Mako flashlight handguard.



The description of the handguard says that it accepts Stinger 1 1/8" flashlights. Would I be correct to assume that it can somehow be activated when mounted inside the handguard? Where would I find one of these flashlights or a similar alternative?
