JRA Gallant 5.56 NATO 18" Barrel W/ Compensator Battle Worn Original Wood Handguards 30 Rd S.F. Stock No Bayonet Lug - $929.99

I really like my JRA - more than I expected. Considering that parts kits and individual original parts are increasingly nonexistent, the Gallant is a great way to start a Galil clone project. If you want to try and make your Gallant more authentic:

1.) You can probably find an original grip for about $20. 2.) Last time I checked, Atlantic Firearms was selling pairs of original magazines for a reasonable price. 3.) Galilhub has IDF slings available. 4.) As noted by another commenter, the barrel is not original - I mention this because I bought a bayonet lug, but it doesn't quite reach the gas block due to the thickness of the barrel. Still, I think Apex has bayonet lugs available. 5.) Fortunately, I was able to purchase a bipod - but it was expensive! Good luck finding one - the bipod really helps complete the look. 6.) The only thing I'm missing is a set of night sights - Meprolight didn't respond to my request to make some more! 7.) I bought a replica carry handle, but chose not to cut a notch in the JRA's original handguard. I definitely recommend following suit - authentic handguards have become unobtanium. Even replica handguards are hard to find - there are people who can make them, but they are expensive and those folks typically want you to provide the metal hardware. Thus, my replica carry handle is going to be sitting in a bag for a while!

(Although we all seem to like carry handles in video games, apparently IDF soldiers hated them - the original handguard that will come with your JRA is going to be more representative of most Galil ARMs.)

Please don't consider me an expert: there are guys on here who know a lot more than I do. Listen to them, not me. But the Gallant has a been a fun project for me. I don't have enough rounds through it to evaluate if it's 'duty-rated.' I would certainly assume it's not: it's an obsolete system comprised of of old and new parts. I consider my Gallant to be a little piece of functional history with a great story behind it. You never know when the parts supply will completely dry up, so if you want a Galil clone and you want to avoid auctions, now is probably the time. The Gallant is, in my opinion, a really great platform to build out as you please - and it's certainly fine as-is. I don't think you'll regret it, especially considering the price. If you're set on creating the best fake Galil possible, and you have thousands to spend on it, there are indeed better options. But the Gallant is a good gun, a great value, and incorporates some hard-to-find original parts. What's not to love?

GLOCK G17 G5 9mm 4.49" 17rd Pistol w/ Ameriglo Night Sights - POLICE TRADE-IN - $397.04

You are the only person that I have heard complain about KyGunCo. I have been dealing with them for 10 plus years. Their cust. serv. is excellent. It is an industry standard for a fulfillment service to create a label for a product and consider it in process or shipped once its been assigned a tracking number.

Canik Prime Radian 9mm 3.8" Barrel 17-Rounds OR w/ RAMJET - $1199.99

LMAO. This price is ridiculous. In about a year or so, the value of the Prime Radian will be about 200 below MSRP.

Federal AE9FP American Eagle 9mm 147 GR FMJ 50 Rounds - $12.19

I've been shooting Federal American Eagle for years without any problems, and still have plenty of it stockpiled. This panic buying all started under obama at least 15 years ago when he tried to ban steel tipped ammo. Todays prices are much better than 5 or 6 years ago when it was about .70 per round for 9mm, although we need to see the price come way back down to about .15 per round to restock.

I get supply and demand but at these prices you might as well get a well established better gun for the same price.

Federal AE9FP American Eagle 9mm 147 GR FMJ 50 Rounds - $12.19

Step up to this if you are shooting Champion. Then you wont be flushing brass flakes out of your FCU after every trip to the range. Also step up to this for radian ramjet or any comped or ported pistol--federal says not to use champion and the interwebs say something about blowing brass flakes into your eyes and fouling the barrel alot more quickly

OLIGHT I3T EOS 180 Lumens Dual-Output Slim EDC Flashlight for Camping and Hiking, Tail Switch Flash Light with AAA Battery - $11.69

These are handy and easy to carry. Low is good for up close needs, high is useful but gets warm to the touch. Use decent batteries and you'll enjoy it even more. Mine is in my pocket every day for 7 yrs now.

CANIK PRIME RADIAN 9mm 3.8" 17 Rd - $985.99

$899 was msrp, so $463 is close enough to round up to $500. I get supply and demand but come on. That's a bit much

Love the blade profile. This kind of resembles the one I carry - Kershaw Knockout.

Canik Prime Radian 9mm 3.8" Barrel 17-Rounds OR w/ RAMJET - $1199.99

Price gouging. MSRP is $899. Classic firearms is selling it for that.

This retailer is on my list of shit retailers now. Anyone this greedy probably has shitty customer support too.

here’s the link to a better price https://gun.deals/deals/1530981...
