The Galil from IMI.A Kalashnikov action improved for the desert.
1The Israeli Kalashnikov
After the Six-Day War, Israel wanted a rifle that kept running in sand and dust. Israel Galili and Yaacov Lior based the Galil on the Finnish Valmet version of the Kalashnikov, and Israel Military Industries adopted it in 1972.
The Galil adds a left side safety, an upturned charging handle, a side folding stock, night sights and a bipod with a bottle opener on the ARM. It was built in 5.56 NATO and 7.62×51, as the AR, ARM, SAR, the short MAR and the Galil Sniper. South Africa built the Galil under license as the R4.
