....but in a good way, and I'm about to violate my own self-imposed boycott of CFS. I have wanted one of the new Galil clones for a while but everyone wanted over 750 bucks for them, just not worth it, even with a milled receiver. Centerfire just offered them too cheap for me to pass up on. :party29:

NICE!!!!!! :thumbsup:

I've been eyeing up the IMI too and saw that the Golani Galil clone is just as sweet!! I was hoping it would be affordable and this is probably as close as I'll get. Please send pix when you get it.

Will do! Just too bad I have to get it shipped without the mag, but you can't have everything I guess. I'm sure CFS won't give me any money off for that either.

does it have the bottle opener like the real galils?

Depends on how you define "bottle opener"

Not bad looking. I've always loved the Galil, it's a nice improved version of the AK. Just wish I could get one chambered in 5.45 or even 7.62X39. Either way it'd be a lot cheaper than .223, especially the 5.45. Oh well, the Galil is still on my rapidly shortening listing of guns I would like to own one day.

I've been eyeing these but I've heard lots of bad feedback re quality. will be very keenly interested to learn what you find!

I have an IMI galil in .308 that I hope to bring to the fall shoot which I'll be more than happy to share. My (wimpy) brother thinks it makes too much flashbang but I love it. Sucker is accurate and you can really reach out and touch somebody with it. It would be nice to have one in the smaller caliber though...

They have good deals but their policy is my deal breaker. I understand the Mag issue, but no handguns??? "No Handguns. No Hi-Cap Mags over 20rds"

Most web stores are like that (AIM, etc). MD has crazy rules and they take the easiest path: just say no. It's disappointing, but considering they could lose their FFL for breaking any law even ones they don't know about I can kind of understand where they are coming from. What they all need is a little education from the informed public, but even enthusiasts like ourselves can get confused over MD's laws.

I thought about that too but just as a pointer remember that the 5.45 surplus is going to run out eventually, then it's going to get a bit more expensive as the cheapest stuff out there will probably be the 25 round boxes from Wolf. As it is I shoot almost all Wolf ammo in my .223 rifles, including my AR's. Have never had a bit of problem and in fact the Wolf .223 doesn't seem to have have the chambering issues that surplus 5.56 has. The 55gr Wolf is now what my AR's and Mini-14's are sighted in for. It is a little bit more expensive than 7.62x39, I pay $5 a box at Wideners which isn't too bad, about a dollar more than the 7.62.
