Hello, I currently have a hux flow 556ti, but am looking to get an OTB suppressor. I my barrel has been chopped to 14”, I wasn’t sure if the Galil barrel OD was a weird size preventing some from working? Any input would help!

Dissident currently has my rifle so I’m unable to take any measurements. If anybody could measure the OD of the barrel that would be helpful! Thanks

Hey guys, need your help. I got a Galil Ace Gen 2 in 7.62x39. I have tried to zero this thing many times and I can’t figure out why it’s not holding zero. I have the PA 3x prism on it that was bought used on GAFS and I’m maybe thinking it’s the optic? I also remove the dust cover often because I have a KNS Piston that needs to be adjusted at times. Before I would need to “chop” the dust cover to pop it in but now I just squeeze it on there. Could it be the gas cover causing the issue?

I thought it was me before but just went out today and at 25 yards it was on paper and grouping decently with three shots. Went to 50 yards and wouldn’t even hit paper. Went back on 25 yards and wouldn’t hit paper again. Wasted lots of rounds and now just sad/mad at it.

Picked this up in a trade recently and just SBR’d it. Next on my list is a 10” RS Regulate hand guard and maybe a KNS delete.

Picked up a never before fired 7.62x39 SBR. I’ve been dying to have this model ever since I chose a Tavor x95 over one of these back in 2020 right before covid popped off. Can’t begin to explain how happy I am.

Same same but different flavor.

Rhodesian: Tortort receiver, surplus ARM kit, 13.5 inch barrel, chopped bipod, IWS6K suppressor, custom welded pic rail for dot, and Pro2Customs cerakote.

Frogskin: Tortort receiver, surplus ARM kit, 11.5 inch barrel, custom length gas tube and piston, chopped bipod, prototype suppressor, and Pro2Customs cerakote.

Seeing if there is anyone besides Hillbilly that can do lightening cuts. He doesn't accept any work from Californians

I'm going to get one for the supressor rebate but I don't know which one to get.

Help me

Also anyone know of the iwi can that would come with the 5.56 rated for that short of a barrel? I assume it would be.

Waiting on Form 1

I got severely autistic and wanted to share how I fixed a bit of play that was driving me nuts with the KNS Picatinny adapter on my new 7.62x39 Gen 1 13 inch.

Tools & Materials Needed

• 0.004" brass shim stock (Amazon, ten bucks)
• Heavy-duty scissors, utility knife + ruler, or tin snips
• Sandpaper (400-600 grit) or file for edges
• Nylon/brass mallet
• CLP or gun oil
• Roll pin punch (3/16")
• Wooden dowel or brass rod (for removal if needed)

Steps

1. Remove the old adapter and clean everything Drive out the roll pin. Tap the adapter upward/out using a dowel from inside the receiver. Clean off all old silicone residue with solvent + scraper . Degrease the adapter’s rear interface block and the receiver slot completely.
2. Cut the shim blank Cut a roughly 2.5 cm square piece of 0.004" brass shim stock.
3. Shape the shim (Upside-down T style)

   * Test-fit the square against the rear face of the adapter’s offset interface block (the part that slides into the receiver).

   * Leave about ½ cm overlap on each side.

   * Bend the side overlaps ~90 degrees so they wrap around the sides of the block.

   * Trim the upper portions of the side flaps (cut away the top part) so that only the lower side edges remain wrapped. The final shape when flat is like an upside-down “T”.

1. Final trim and fit check

   * The main body of the shim should cover the bottom ¾ of the rear face of the interface block, with the bottom side flaps wrapping around to cover the lower edges of the block below the gaps (leaving the middle gap clear for the roll pin).

   * Bottom edge of shim should sit flush with the bottom of the block — no overhang.

   * Smooth all edges with sandpaper so there are no burrs or sharp spots

1. Install the shimmed adapter

   * Apply a drop of CLP/gun oil on the shim and inside the receiver slot.

   * Hook the shimmed adapter into the top of the receiver dovetail track.

   * Push it down vertically by hand as far as it goes.

   * Use a nylon or brass mallet to gently tap it the rest of the way until the roll pin holes line up perfectly. Make sure the shim doesnt ride up as block goes in.

   * Drive the 3/16" roll pin back in (use a proper punch).

Result: The shim takes up vertical and horizontal play, creating a tight, solid fit.

Would anybody with a gen 1 Galil Ace be kind enough to get me dimensions of their gas tube? I have a Norinco Hunter that I originally purchased years ago to have converted into a Galil, but now I am hesitant to do anything I can’t reverse back to stock configuration. I’m trying to find a “drop in” option for a pic rail. I noticed the Galil Ace gas tube is very similar to the Hunters, with the rear dovetail into the receiver, but I can’t find any dimensions online. I know it’s a long shot, but if the dimensions are right I’m wondering if it would fit. I’d need length, inner and outer diameter at both ends, as well as dovetail width/thickness. I’ve read that different models have different length tubes, the one on my Hunter is 9 1/4” long, but I can cut the Galil tube shorter if necessary. Any info much appreciated

TL;DR: Want to see if Galil Ace gas tube will fit Norinco Hunter

Just wanted to show off this picture of a Kirby Defense Handguard that pro2customs did a fantastic job cerakoting. Looks amazing.

My Galil SAR gas tube is shorter than normal (don't ask) and I'd like to know exactly how long they are supposed to be. I'm seeing many different numbers online including 8.125", 7.765", and 7.675". If someone could measure the full length of their gas tube for me that would be a huge help. And if you happen to have a vektor R5 gas tube I would like the dimensions for the bulged end of the gas tube too.

EDIT: Solved! Thanks for the help!

Fair price used?

Is anyone selling or know where to find a cheek riser for the oem Galil ace gen 1 stock?

EDIT: THE PLATE THE BOLT GOES THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM OF SAFETY CONNECTING GRIP MODULE WASNT SITTING SQUARELY IN ITS HOLE, CAUSING THE WHOLE GRIP MODULE TO SET BACK IN THE RECEIVER 1/8TH AND THE SAFETY WOULDNT PIVOT FORWARD ALL THE WAY. ALL IS GOOD NOW.

Just got a trigger. Supposedly AGT-UL.

The instructions say AK Trigger Enhanced/Ultimate with Lightning Bow (not Galil)

It just seems off. The safety is no where near engaging because the trigger spur is way too short.

I'm not sure how the hammer pin is supposed to stay locked in place or just use the default straight spring/rod?

If this is right, I'm very much failing to see how this is a trigger upgrade.

Please see picture on the safety. The picture depicts safety in 'safe' position with Hammer cocked. Also what is the other spring that wasn't mentioned in the instructions? (I will post photo of that in comments)

Here she is finished from dissident it looks like, hopefully getting the rifle back soon! I have a Kirby handguard to try out which I’m excited for

So I have a buddy wanting to trade me a Gen II 16” 5.56 Ace for my Surefire RC2. I’m honestly not a huge fan of the RC2, and I’ve been looking to replace it with newer tech. Do I send this trade? Or do I save the RC2 for a GWOT era gun I build down the road?

The rifle just stopped shooting. The bolt is spring loaded. If I press in the pin that the trigger mechanism strikes, the pin is less than flush the bolt on the other side. I don't think the pin is hitting the primer of the round. Perhaps the end of the pin broke off. Is this repairable or do I need to replace the bolt. Where would I even buy a bolt for a 1980's Galil ARM? I purchased the rifle from James River
