What is everyone's opinion of the IMI Galil in 7.62x51mm NATO? What are it's pro's and con's? Can it be made to use .308 Winchester cartridges?
Can the Israel-made ones be bought here in the U.S. in 7.62x51 NATO?

C'mon mister - the OP asked about 7.62x51 Galils, not cobbled together 5.56x45 Century skunkers . . .armoredman said:The Israeli ones are well thought of, the Golani Century imports, not so much, IIRC.
So Israel used the FN FAL before they switched over to the Galil, correct? What did they use before the FN FAL?
After reading more about the Galil, it seems to be nothing more than an improved version of the AK-47. Since the AK-47 is such a well-known and high profile assault rifle, then why isn't more said about the Galil since it is an *improved* version?
