Galil ARM build

this post to share with you the cost(s) associated with building a Galil ARM parts kit, and would like to give advice or pointers how ever possible to help others along their way. I will not put dollar signs or anything to avoid possible reddit overlord wrath

I will list the prices and who I got parts/services from in descending order from highest to lowest

  1. 575 | Lewman arms manufacturing in Lakeland FL. — great service, great shop, quoted 8-10 weeks and got it to me in 9, always communicated quickly.
  2. 500 | Tortort receiver
  3. 459 | apex gun parts (that’s the actual parts kit)
  4. 230 | Frontier armory CZ contract South African 1/12 twist virgin barrel.
  5. 239 | Galil hub bullet guide (kit didn’t have one) and carry handle/ bracket.
  6. 200 | for new wood hand guard by 10ecfishbone3 on instagram, you will have to provide him with parts but his turn around was <1 week and the work is very good.
  7. 177 | bipod from “oneofakind190” on reddit, works great, do business with him with confidence.
  8. 120.75 | Geissele ALG AKT-EL trigger for 922r purposes (it’s also a very good shooting trigger, would recommend)
  9. 66 | for doner hand guard (needed metal inserts for the wood hand guard, the plastic hand guard that came with my kit didn’t have it) from “BigDuke6” on combloc market.
  10. 27 | 922r magazine baseplates from “Zotross” or “309Enterprises” on Reddit (same guy, one is personal account other is business, definitely use him. When shipping went sideways he bent over backwards to make things right, absolutely would buy from again)
  11. 20??? I think for a rush order trigger guard that wasn’t in my kit, got from “BigDuke6” on combloc market

Total monies spent: 2613.75 (estimated)

Again shoutout to 10ecfishbone3, oneofakind190, zotross/309interprises, and BigDuke6. Those guys help make this happen.

You can roast me for the money I spent if you want lol, definitely could have been done for around or even less than 2k, but I got everything I wanted and the rifle is perfect to me. Any questions please ask away and I will do my best to answer
