Does anyone have any experience with a Golani or Galil? I'm interested in a Golani that's available. Any heads up? Inherent problems? Yoour input will be greatly appreciated.

I remember reading about problems with them but dont recall off hand what they were.

I've heard the same but that was some time ago. Most reviews are all pretty much good if not glowing. It's apparantly been improved. I just want some first hand opinions before I buy it.

Didn't get the Golani but I did get a new AR for about 100 less! Woo Hoo!

Welcome!

You want a picture of my cheap, generic AR or a Golani?

Preferably, the AR you bought!

Golani's were welded together by the notorious monkeys at Century, which means, you rolls da' dice - ya' takes ya' chances on QC. It might shoot straight, or it might fly apart on the first trigger squeeze - one never knows!

Moreover, the 35 round mags for it are nominally scarce, and while solid pieces of kit (moreso than AR mags), they are more expensive and harder to scrounge if the SHTF. Were someone to make a Golani that took AR mags, that WOULD be quite the weapon then, but on the whole, you're better off with a decent AR for your .223 delivery needs.
