My Dad came up with an idea that I had never thought of and I will look up the info if no one has it here.
He has seen threaded Galil .223 barrels for $39.
What is the size and pitch of the Galil threads?
Do they follow the same as the Russian pattern? The Russians were sticklers for using the same tooling over and over. The Nagant is .980 16V T.P.I and it would stand that the SKS probably has that same size and maybe the original Russian threaded AK's.
Does the SKS have that thread size?
Did the Israeli's use the same thread pattern as the the Finns and Swedes for their versions of the AK.
If the Galil barrels are the same pattern then .223 AK's and SKS's could be made pretty easy.
If only the barrel stub info was easier to get! Old bolt actions are easy as there are many books with that info and I have a good one, but the semi-auto stuff is impossible to find.
oh, boy, Cephus... hope that little girl makes out ok...
I just e-mailed a guy who operates a business called "galil services" (check the site)... If he don't know, I don't think anybody would...hope to hear from him tomorrow.. I'll post ASAP when I hear from him. http://www.angelfire.com/ok5/pcsinc/imc_Galil_Services.htm
O.K.
HERE IT IS>>>>Receiver end mic's to .824 diameter x 1.50 (metric) thread pitch. (.223 cal)
This is from Jim Meredith at Galil Services. What a great guy he is...also, the thread on the muzzle is .500"-28 tpi. They offer alot of neat services, and seem very knowlegeable.
Hope this helps you out, Sang...:thumbup1:
If you are looking for a Galil front section, try Ontario Gun in Ontario, Canada - they usually have an ad in Sturmgewehr.com - email is ontgun1@yahoo.com
I got 3 Galil matching 2-piece receiver sections from them....
