    Used it in the 80’s in Angola, 5,56 version. This rifle was a game changer for us, unbreakable, no jams, minimum maintenance plus could carry a 45 round mag, gaffer tape two of those mags head to toe, 90 rounds full auto.

    I am from South Africa and this rifle in 5.56 was used, still used in military and police force. Was in the military called national service for 2 years and after 1 month service per year for 10 years. What an awesome rifle!!! FN FAL 7.62 (308) was our standard issue prior to the Galil (R4) These two rifles my favourites. Don't care if the modern rifles are lighter. The Galil weighs 8.8lbs (4kg) and was no problem even in infantry. Was your weapon, your lifesaver, you take care of it and It will take care of you!!! Rugged, accurate, durable, badass!! 😼 😎

    The Galil .308 is a 7,62x51 caliber version of the Finnish Rk-62 assault rifle. The Galils were copied with license and manufactured with Finnish tools bought from Valmet. With similar precision obviously. The receiver is narrow and milled exactly like an Rk-62, the gas piston is identical, the gas tube is identical with it's attachment, the front sight is identical, the rear sight housing is identical.. My enlightened guess is that the trigger assembly is identical as well and shooting this thing is pretty much exactly like shooting an M76 .308 version of the Rk. A very common hunting version of this rifle here in Finland is called the Petra and it is chambered in .308 and .30-06.

    I had wanted one ever since I saw the movie "Savior" 1997 with Dennis Quaid. Granted, he used a Vector VR4, but the Galil and the Vector are nearly identical. During the 2000s, we had some tariffs against Israel, and the receivers were impossible to get. I finally bought one off gunbroker from a guy in Texas, I believe. Good rifle. I will never sell mine.

    The last Galils were scrapped around 2006-7 ish from the IDF. As a soldier in an armor batallion HQ in 2005 I got to carry a shortened 5.56 Galil (Glilon) for some time... it felt like it was made from adamantium, heavy and sturdy. The tank crews switched to shortened M16s around 2004 and hated it because even with collapsed stock the M16 was longer than a Glilon with a folded stock. I knew one guy who got kicked from tank crew training for getting his M16's barrel bent into almost 90 degrees as it was in the way of the tank's turret gears as it was turning.

    Nice video. Like the way you present things. I had the Galil as service rifle ( both ARM and SAR versions ) and it never let me down in the mud or in the sand. Then they changed it for the M4 which I carried for the last year of service , which was lighter ( and was a status symbol at the time) but it wasn't as reliable in the conditions I served, mainly going in and out of armored vehicles and banging the weapon hundreds of times in the process ... The lighter aluminum and backlit construction of the m4 was getting banged up and needed more ( gunsmith) maintenance and parts replacements including a bent gas tube. Conclusion : I got to know the m4 and loved it for all the known reasons, but if I have to choose what I would take into battle , in the same operational conditions I faced at the service I would stick with my old trusted friend Galil.

    Lovely gun! We Finns love to take some pride out of Galil's success, as the Israelis purchased the blueprints of the Valmet's RK-62 rifles during the Cold War, on which the Galil was based on. And RK62 obviously was a Finnish twist on the good ol' AK-47.
    Just about everything from those dust-cover mounted sights to the simple pull-out gastube were Valmet's designs. Later on the more modern RK-95 took some inspiration from Galils, such as the skeleton style folding stock, pretty much closing the circle.
    Would actually love to see Hickok try out and review the Valmet & Sako RK rifles.

      What makes the Galil unique is less so the engineering in it and more so the fact that it is designed to be used by undertrained morons in underfunded militaries, allowing you to pick between the two most common ammo types on the planet and take a significant amount of abuse while keeping reliability similar to that of the American rifles. Part of why its a popular gun in south America.

      I served in the SADF. we were issued rifles in 5.56 not 7.62. UNITA was anti communist and in a sense our ally in Angola. FAPLA and it's Russian and Cuban backed forces were the opposing forces that the SADF fought in Angola. Just setting your record straight.

    As far as I know Galil was based on Finnish Valmet RK series weapon, which itself is Finnish AK-variant, rather than original Soviet AK. Gas cylinder assembly looks quite familiar, rear and front sights are at same place, and so on.

    I read in a book that the original Galil was issued to the Israeli Army for testing, sadly it was in combat, and it failed miserably in the sand. So the troops that were left brought it back and told Galil that it would not work due to sand fouling. So Galil redesigned it with a Kalashnikov action and that was where it started. It became a very reliable and formidable weapon for combat. Love your videos and if I find a weapon the I am interested in, your website is the first place I check. I like that even though you have your favorites, you always give each weapon a fair description and functions test. There is no bias. Thank you!
