The secret to a reliable Century Arms Galil?

[dodging230grainers]

Seeing as how a lot of people (including me) still consider buying the Century Arms Golani Sporter despite the gamble of it being total crap, I was wondering if replacing some of the key components would work?

Take a look at these IMI Galil parts this site sells:

So could one buy the Century Golani, and simply replace key components (bolt, feed ramp, gas tube, etc) with the real IMI stuff for around $200 and have a decent Galil clone? Or is there more to it than that to fixing the crap that tends to come out of Century?

thanks.

My golani after 100 rounds has been 100% reliable. The bolt carrier is stiff into the last 1/4 inch into battary and when i can i will lap it until it smooths out.

My Golani runs fine right out of the box.

by the way, does the Golani/Galil have a bolt hold open? If so, where is it located? If not, how do you keep the bolt back during a cease-fire at the range?

The problems with the US made Galils has always centered on the "receiver".

You can't replace that easily, and having it "fixed" may cost much more than the gun itself.

Well...you slap a 'Range Safe Device' in the chamber....a plastic 'FLAG'... if you will, that slips into the chamber end of the barrel, holds the bolt open slightly and has a brightly colored piece that sticks out of the receiver....

This lets everyone know that your gun has a plastic flag in the chamber and not a live round....
