In case you may have missed it!!!!
How much of a pain was it to get the dustcover mounted ? Thats the part I'm dreading, like to the point where Im considering getting a gunsmith to do that part for me
The Galil receiver cover? No fitting required. The parts that will require a gunsmith are mounting the handguard retainers, threading the barrel, and fabricating a removable filler block for the slanted part at the rear of the receiver when the Galil stock is mounted.
Sweet gun! You don't have a spare stock bolt you could sell me, do you? Or even know the thread? I need one for my M78... don't ask....
it was M8 0.75 pitch on my stamped m78. My hunters _do not_ use the same thread on the machined receivers.
I think I have a _short_ bolt I had made to use with a stock adapter. Shoot me a pm if you want it.
x2 on EE right now, a .223 and the venerable, real deal AK 7.62x39 caliber.
Not meaning to distract, but if 200 .223s were imported then maybe <50 7.62x39s in the country.
While not my cup of tea, I just saw some valmets listed on wolverines site showing in stock while browsing for other stuff, in case anyone was still looking for one
^post pics and share when you get it back please!!
Got any photos ?
i remember seeing milled m78 in 308 for 2500 and still am kicking myself to this day for not buying one
