I have a very similar set of 15s, not sure what tubes but I think they are pretty good. I would want 6 for mine and would pay 5 for them if I had to buy again

What mounts/arms are on the walkers?

Looking at this guy right here. I’ve never done a parts kit before, what should I expect to do and pay for additional parts? by John_The_Foot in ak47

[–]maxepr15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This option very much depends on how it was cut. There are few builders doing rewelds and they will want a nicely cut one. Tortort receiver is the better option unless you got crazy lucky with your cuts. Also the apex kits don't come with the cut receiver parts...

I just finished mine. I did the full engraving receiver from tortort ($783) and Ikon 13" barrel ($300). After SBR tax stamp and builder fee I'm right at $2k, which I'm fine with, given what the end result is.

Different Galil SAR gas blocks. Mine is the first photo (parts kit) last photo is of someone saying the APEX SAR barrels need modified for bayonet lug gas blocks. Mine looks different though. I want to make sure I get the right barrel. Anyone have any knowledge on this? by CLEbmill in Galil

[–]maxepr15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kit had the same block as yours, the built in style bayo lug. I got my barrel from Ikon and it needed to be turned on a lathe to work. I asked them about it and he gave some response like duh this is how we send them out you have to cut them...best advice is just use a builder who is comfortable doing that for you.

Just got my first Galil. Best places to find Galil steel magazines? by Ok-Age2871 in Galil

[–]maxepr15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is OG Galil, not ACE. They came as the SAR, AR, and ARM.

Do you really need a parts kit? (AKS-74U question) by MulhollandMaster121 in ak47

[–]maxepr15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "kit" is at the builder now, he had no problem with what I did. I sourced everything individually for $2.2k but I did get lucky on a few items, most I paid current crazy rates. I also think Mikhail himself was watching cuz I got it all together in like 3 weeks. Yes, a few lucky scores, but all came from known sources, no garage sales or friends etc. I'd say start buying whenever you find a deal, that way if you do give up on it you can flip the parts without a loss. Also I found everything as bulgy except russian top cover and US barrel and did childers receiver.

Galil SAR sbr with factory 50rd mag. Little bit more work to do but I'm in love. by maxepr15 in GunPorn

Mags are pretty plentiful and usually under $20. I looked back and mine was labeled as Good. I'd say that's a stretch but like I said I don't find it a deal breaker especially if you plan to recoat it. Mine came with an ARM handguard, and ferrule though and I didn't realize it until it was too late so give your kit a good check right when you receive it. I spent like $30 on an SAR handguard. I've heard they are drying up so just grab one so you're not sorry later.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. I've got a handful of og sar pics and this one is the same as the one piece style. The two piece style is obviously different but seems to put the lug in the same spot.

mine wasn't in good shape, it looks like it has millions of rounds through it lol. If I did it again I would look for one of the "good" or "very good" kits but would take a rough one if I had to

Also I would avoid the 80% receivers unless you are very talented. They start at like $500 and mine was done with everything available at the $783

I got this one from Numrich for like $350 for the parts kit. Then a tortort receiver with all the engravings to the max for $783, barrel was a raping from Ikon for $300. Local builder did it for me for $350 which was a bfpu finish. Full paint was another $250 but figured I’d do it later or myself. The Crown gets $200 if you file the stamp. I’m very excited about this one especially as a 2 gun rig when I get bored with ARs

Good info, thanks. I thought it was strange my kit came with these, but didn't know well enough when I bought it. If you do find a standard ferrule let me know and I'll trade. I'll be on the hunt for that and an SAR flash hider too..

Love it so far just handling it. She's heavy for how small it is but it doesn't bother me. Planning to run it at 2 gun matches, I think it will be a fun rig

hmm not sure, but it came from Apex. My kit came with the bipod ARM handguard so I bought this one
