Valmet already did it years ago. What a shame the Valmets aren't available anymore, except as absurdly priced used specimens with even more ridiculously priced magazines. The Galil got all the glamor articles in the gun magazines, but the Valmet was really a better weapon. They are lighter, point better, and are decidedly less clunky than the Galil.
My old Valmet made all my other AK clones, Saigas, Chinese, and Yugos look like garbage by comparison. I've bought and sold lots of guns, but the Valmet is the only one I kick myself for ever letting go.
