What is your opinion on the Century Arms Galil rifle?
March 2nd, 2010 by eranio
I have put one of these rifles on layaway and I am wondering what is your opinion about the Century Arms Galil rifle, a semi-auto clone of the IMI (Israel Military Industries) Galil rifle used in Israel. I have checked a lot of online forums, gun enthusiast chat rooms, and all I have heard is good things about it. What is your opinion about it and have your fired one, and is it really accurate? Thanks for sharing your answers.

If the Century Arms Import is a 100% Galil it is a good rifle. They are deadly reliable but heavier than comparable AK’s or early M-16′s. Accuracy is on par with the AK and well below the AR.
In the 1980′s while active duty we had joint training with the IDF in the Middle East and I remember their Galil’s having heavy weight barrels compared to my M16A1.

I bought one several months ago and kept it for about two days. It wouldn’t reliably feed ammo. Even hand cycling to charge the weapon was a no-go about 70% of the time. Luckily I was able to take it back to my local shop and return it for a full refund. It was an upgraded model with the upgrade stamp "F" on the bottom of the receiver.
If you get one find one with a serial over 3000 and make sure you check it for function as soon as you can.
FWIW I would like to try another one, as I absolutely love the Galil rifle.
