Our Assessment: Once again ladies and gentlemen we have a piece coming through our shop that stands out far above the rest. Like really really far. If this rifle were to magically become a human it would boot even Ryan Renolds off the pedestal of sexiest man of the year. The Galil is one of the most loved rifles in all of firearms history. And that’s not an understatement or a title given without reason. It truly is one of the most remarkable firearms ever devised in the minds of crazy good engineers. The Israeli Galil was born out of an impossible fight against the onslaught of AK47’s. After the 6 Day War, Israel captured thousands of Egyptian AK47 rifles and discovered for themselves all the benefits the Kalashnikov rifles provided as durability and maintenance go. The FN FAL’s they were using were effective but were becoming less effective in the down and dirty conditions warfare had become in the Middle Eastern Deserts. Several designs were offered to the Israeli Defense Force to gain an advantage over the AK47 including the M16, Stoner, rifle design by UZI, the HK33 from Germany, and the Automatic Rifle Machine Gun (ARM) by Yasrael Galil. I’ll let you guess who won. The (ARM) Galil was a design taken from the Finnish Valmet RK62 or the civilian M76, also known as the AK47 Perfected and was given a few more designs to make it really the most spankin rifle ever designed. The Galil was quickly adopted by Israel as their new standard issue rifle and became everyone’s favorite butt kicking machine. It looks like a dream come true and it feels like a dream come true and for those who have the beautiful privilege of shooting one, they can all testify, it shoots and operates like a dream come true. A few key features are the tritium flip up night sights, the integral Bipod, the bottle opener Bipod retainers for when you’re thirsty, the Upswept charging handle, thumb safety, and side folding stock among many more glorious internal changes adopted from the Finnish Valmet RK62. I’ve never wanted a firearm more in my life than this one right here, but hey, I’m just the writer. The Galil 332 is simply the semi-automatic version of the Galil ARM. Bid on it, claim it, and then love it like every Galil deserves. Happy Bidding!
