Atlanticfirearms has Galil part kits.
As it goes with ARs the best option is to try several different things, by renting or going to the range with a friend.
Oh, that reminds me: I was looking into the SG550 and found a site that sells parts. I need to go find that bookmark some time
I found that I prefer simple furniture on my rifles, nothing to fancy.
If I had the money I’d get the galil ace
I don't have any gun enthusiast friends, so I mostly went in blind when I built my AR
I like the look of free floating aluminum hand guards, but they add so much weight.
So I ended up sticking with magpul.
That may have been my biggest "mistake" since I was trying to keep mine light
But it looks so nice
Yea were the extra weight came in handy was my AR-10.
Someday when I'm famous and rich I'll try and get my hands on a Valmet, the Finnish AK varient. Finland has a history of taking Russian guns and making them good.

*"Just engineer the plants to be seedless."*
Doesn't work for cereals...
*"A. Any crop that is grown as a hybrid will see significant yield losses after even one year of replanting so it's more cost effective to buy it again any laws or patents aside."*
So... Complaints about research costs are moot.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what we're supposed to do in the event of a crisis (whatever type) where the supplied seed inventory is suddenly destroyed...
Wait wait, let me guess... Use non-GMO seeds, ¿right?
B. R&D crop would often be impossible.
UUUUGH....people not understanding the Electoral College makes my head hurt -_-
Same
@C1PHER If it makes you feel better, I hear that having the barrel free floating from the handguard can help a lot with accuracy, should you attach a bipod to it.
Lol, It's a 300BLK with a 10" barrel, so I'm not exactly planning on sniping anything
Ah, yeah maybe not that advantageous after all, heh.
It just turned out a little heavier than I wanted it to for the size
I am curious what size groups that can make at 100m
If I ever find a 100m range to shoot at, I'll give it a try
10”, that’s crazy short. Pistol or sbr?
Pistol, for now anyway
Makes for quite a large "handgun" though
I’ve shopped around for 300 BO in rifle configuration. Any idea why there are so many 300 BO pistols floating around?
300 BO was designed to work with short barrels, so if you're at the 16" required for a rifle you probably don't have any advantages over 5.56
A little tricky to conceal in your righty whiteys, I would imagine. Plan on getting a can for that, or will that even work well with a barrel that short?
^ That probably answered my question.
My understanding was a 300 blackout was bigger than 556
10" is almost "long" for 300 blackout. I was debating between that or an 8"
556 is not acceptable for hunting deer where I live. But 300 blackout is
It is, but 5.56 is very dependent on barrel length to achieve good velocity, and blackout is not. So blackout has a distinct advantage when in pistol/sbr form
Ok
5.56 being as cheap as it is, I wouldn't have gone for blackout if I had built a full-length rifle
I’m tempted to put a RD optic on my 500.
Many so I’d have an optic ready for my future AR purchase
Need a longer barrel to make it a better hunting shotgun
It’s my understanding you can hunt with 18.5 but longer is better
Oh, sorry Gabe: to answer your question I'm still heavily debating the can, but it will definitely work for a blackout that short
Those are apparently the 2 things blackout was designed to do: have a short barrel and work well with silencers
