What’s best for the sling attachment on the sb braces? The loop style or the hk clip on?

Gen 1 on GB

Found this gem on GB for less than 2k. Clean bore and looks like it was maintained well. Are these baddies really unicorns? 7.62

Best Galil clones?

The ace is a bit out of my price range. Also I’d like an old school style of rifle. I’ve looked at some JRA models but I’m not familiar with the brand. Any advice is appreciated.

Mag compatibility

I recently purchased my first Galil. It's a SAR parts kit gun. Trying to find some additional mags. Will these mags from IWI work on the old SAR galil are they only for the newer galil ACE? tia

Galil SAR 14.5/16" barrel?

I recently got a Galil SAR kit and I've been trying to find an option that doesn't require me to get a tax stamp or pistol brace, so basically I'm looking at trying to get a 16" barrel or potentially a 14.5" and then pin and welding the original flash hider on (if it's long enough, that is), but the only seller I can find is Evocatus and their barrels are $400 and made to order. I know I could get the original 13" barrel and pin and weld an extended muzzle brake on it but I'm not a fan of that look.

Gen 1 556 chopped to 12.5

Gen 1 556 I chopped to 12.5. It runs so smooth with the kns piston.

Low optic question.

For the Gen 1 guys that run very low optics. What do you do with the rear sight? I keep mine between the 2 positions so that it sits a bit lower. However, it doesn’t always stay. One option I was thinking of was to dremel an indentation so that it would stay in position. What have guys done other than removing the rear sight or running a riser?

ATI Galil SAR help with suppressor mounting

I’ve got an ATI Galil SAR and I want to run a AAC 51t flash hider mount for my AAC suppressors. Problem is the 13mmx1 RH threads are incompatible with any 51t mounts. What’s the best way to overcome this problem?

Do I remove my barrel and have it cut shorter and rethreaded to 1/2x28?

Do I buy new barrel already threaded in 1/2x28? And have a gunsmith drill the gas port?

If I get stuck and want to send to a gunsmith who is the best option?

Thanks for your help, google hasn’t been much help.

Is there really no options to make the gen 2 handguard look better?

It just sucks there’s no options for replacements really that I’m aware of. I know it’s a great handguard that doesn’t need improving upon but it just looks so bland. Has anyone come up with anything, or have any cool builds? Perhaps to make the gem 2 look a bit more like a gen 1 or classic galil lol

Fair price for 5.56 Gen 1 Ace?

Got a 16” 5.56 gen 1 ace with a kns piston that’s just been living in my safe, only have like 240 rounds through it. Need some extra cash for school right now, what’s a fair price? I was thinking around $2,200, but I didn’t see any on gunbroker at the moment.

Update on Galeo: New rail and optic mount

Just got done installing the Frontier Armory mlok handguard for my Galeo/Galil SAR. LOVE IT!!!! So much better than the B&T I had. It's very sleek and fairly light weight. I also installed a Bobro. I put a RMR to Pic adapter and moved the Sig Romeo 4xt Pro back with a low profile mount from Sig as well. It worked ok without a spacer, but I did use the spacer that came with it just for a little extra piece of mind. I may swap it to a QD mount in the future but we'll see. No pass through with the irons or co-witness but it's pretty low.

Pics of before, with the Bobro and B&T, and the (mostly) final product.
