Standard AK safety on Galil?

Anyone ever put a typical AK style safety lever on a Galil Ace? Would it be possible? I’d really like to have one instead of the tiny one that comes with the Ace. Any info greatly appreciated, thanks!

FAB Defense/Estonian Bolt-on Charging Knobs?

Hello all, I’m in the process of decking out an ATI SAR pistol. The project is going well, and probably nearly finished. I’ve used a Master Mount side plate to put a GLx 2x on it, and the forgiving eyebox makes the optic a great fit for the setup. Of course, I need to do a horizontal charging handle to make the ergonomics work. I know I can go the AKM bolt carrier route, but I’d really prefer the authenticity of the bolt-on knob used by the Estonians and sold by FAB defense at some point. They seem to be complete unobtainium, though, which comes as a surprise with all of the kit build clones hitting the market these past few years. Anyone know where they might be found/if FAB is likely to ever do another run?

KNS delete

Anyone else had any problems with their KNS plastic delete kit coming loose? I just added blue loctite for the second time and it’ll get loose after a mag or two. Any pointers?

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

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.

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.
