South Carolina Gunmaker Unveils Classic Israeli Carbine at SHOT 2020
2020-02-01
[Mil.com] LAS VEGAS -- It may be an AR market, but a South Carolina gunmaker just introduced another version of the classic Israeli Galil rifle at SHOT Show 2020.

American Tactical Inc. showed off its new Galil short-barreled rifle (SBR) -- officially called the Galeo -- at range day, a year after unveiling the full-size variant of this short-lived, iconic Israeli battle rifle.

"We manufacture the receiver in house in Summerville, South Carolina; we source the barrel domestically and source the magazine domestically. Everything else is Israeli-made," Nick Contestabile, of American Tactical Inc., told Military.com.

"It's an exciting member of our catalog because it's not a very common firearm, even in our industry."

#2  G(r)om, don't hold back. Tell us what you think of them.
As I learned in an ugly piece of jungle years ago:
Always have another gun.

#1  As somebody who carried it in service, IMO, Galil is the bastard offspring of M16 and AK-47 - having the drawbacks of both parents and none of their advantages.
