    Valmet and Galil

    After yesterdays surprise snowstorm, today turned out sunny and clear, a perfect day to go out to the desert and exercise a couple of rifles I haven't shot since last summer.

    First up was my Valmet M62/S. This is a rather rare gun here in the US as few were imported and this particular one is one of the very first to come in with early features like the bicycle grip and cheese grater handguard. While the tube stock looks awkward, it is surprisingly comfortable to shoulder.

    Like all milled AK's and Valmets in particular, it cycles as smooth as buttered glass and is pretty accurate, due, no doubt, to the excellent sights. A bonus on these is that they take standard AK 7.62x39 magazines.











    Rifle No2 today was my Galil. This is a build I did using a CNC Warrior receiver and nearly all NOS Galil parts including the barrel, handguard, grip, gas block, bipod, etc., including replacing the Tritium night sights.

    As with the Valmet M62, this shoots very, very smooth. When You look at it you can clearly see the Valmet lineage of these fine firearms.

    Just for the heck of it and to slow the pace down a bit, I also took out my 1903 Enfield Mk1 and threw a few rounds down range just because.....

    I know, I know it's not an auto.

      I really like the Valmet. My grandpa was born there and I'm sure would appreciate the history. He left some guns to my cousin but unfortunately he moved out of state so I don't get to see them that often.

          Love Valmets. My Dad had a 71/s in .223 when he passed away. Still pisses me off that I inherited something that I can never bring home.

          My friends and family disavow all knowledge of my existence, let alone my opinions.

              I had an Action Arms imported AR with what seemed like a shorter than normal barrel. I loved it, but after the first ban, it left to Arizona. Also had a Valmet M76 with stamped receiver, ( these were NOT on the ban list!!!). It was nice, but would sometimes fire two rounds with one pull of the trigger! I have an extra galil barrel somewhere if you are interested. Take care of those bad boys!!

                  Same thing happened to me...and I thought it was me being a pu**y with the trigger.

                  OP, thanks for the pics!!!

                      I was told the problem was "carrier bounce", whatever the heck that is.

                        Love the fact that the Galil has the Israeli markings on it. You don't see that too often.

                          Is that a select-fire Galil? Or is that silver line on the right-side of the receiver not actually a wear line of some sort?

                            How much for the Galil? :P
