Tapco Galils no more?


Recommended Posts

The OD versions were on closeout when I got one for my Norinco Hunter conversion. What with the goofy retainer and the lack of heat shielding, the price seemed a little high when they were regular price. Then I had to add a beer can for a heat shield--which meant losing the 10 cent deposit--and the set screws I added to the retainer were another 30 cents. The costs added up!

I have one.

 

They are complete shit. It is so overly huge. It might look okay from the sides, but when you hold the rifle it just feels oversized and there are large amounts of light coming through it and... ugh.

 

 

SHITTY retainer, gets loose when you shoot it, doesn't feel like an AK, its TAPCO, etc

 

too many reasons not to like it.

Yes, you could probably add some loctite or some shit to make it stay. But after getting the gun hot with 300-400 rounds at the range, mag after mag, it always got loose on me, with about 2-4 cm of play back and forth. Pisses me straight the fuck off. Loctite gives in after its heated up anyway.

 

For what its worth, Dinzags handguard retainer stayed on there tight with no movement whatsoever after 2 range trips with about 800-1000 rounds put through it. No loctite or silly shit either.
