    Galil or Saiga 223

    Would you prefer a Galil or a converted Saiga in 223??? I have the opportunity to buy either with plenty of mags. Thanks.

    I vote saiga but I've never handled/shot a galil. If you can swing it, buy both!

          Most Galils are make/model banned.
          There are a few off-list Galils, but who wants to spend $3000+ for a used one.

            CNC Warrior receivers should be good to go, finding parts kits however doesn't seem easy.

            Personally, I really like the older rifles like the Galil and FAL a lot, hope to collect them all

                I wish I would have picked up 10 of the Apex kits last year that were selling for $200

                  Saiga 223.

                  More aftermarket AK parts available.
                  You can also mod the magwell to accept STANAG mags.

                            A good Galil isn't going to be easy these days.
                            Golanis can still be found, but are very hit or miss.

                            The saiga is a much safer bet unless you are willing to put the money into a quality custom built Galil.

                              You're probably right. I was just going off the general price I recalled. The same kits have been selling for triple that on GB
