I was in the IDF in the mid 1980s. The Galil was among the weapons we learned. It's true that it was very simple to maintain; very easy to take down, cleans easily and reassembles very quickly. My main complaint was that it was kind of front heavy and I had to consciously keep the barrel from dropping down. The carbine version less so.

Looks like Larry has lost a lot of weight. Good on ya LAV.

0:39 so rare to see the Hebrew letters on Galil rifles. Just nice to see them ^^

We used them in the Angola war! Serious conditions brilliant rifle. Never had any malfunction

you look slim.

This was my weapon when I was in the military.

Such a good looking rifle, I have to get an ARM in the future to couple with my AR.

Youre lookin fit, Larry! I need to get on board with that haha. Sweet video dude.

The sound in this video is outstanding. The sounds of this gun are music to my ears. Beautiful. Thanks for this video.

Thanks, LAV. I saw a lot of the Galil in Colombia when we trained their non-SOF guys. Of course, the Colombian SOF eventually got the M4 as their primary weapon - I never saw a Galil with them.

Slow mo on this channel are just art! With those amazing sounds.. wow!

Most underrated rifle in history.

Had an IMI parts kit built by m13 recently. Freaking amazing rifle. It’s solid unit, but it’s hefty. With the weight, felt recoil is just so smooth and enjoyable to shoot. Accurate too with the new barrel I got from apex. It’s my go to rifle durring this corona virus scare Incase things get worse and people go to stage 2 panic mode.

My weapon in the South African army from 1985-1986, I still love looking at it online.

If I had to pick one channel on you tube it would be VT hands down. Always love to see these weapons in action. Light it up Larry!

Thank you Larry and team for these awesome videos. The slow mo is my favorite part!!! Cannot wait for the new Vickers Guide. Y'all knocked it out of the park with the other 3!

glad you included that detailed design description. I rarely ever hear people say Valmet had anything to do with the design of the galil

Would love a peek inside Larry's gun safe or room! Maybe a brief rundown of some of the favs or rare items he undoubtedly owns! Loving the vids and keep em coming!

Yet another one knocked out of the park. What an excellent weapon. Thanks for sharing!

Great, great and great in every aspect! Thanks a lot!!!

Awesome. Very helpful and timely for me as I'm finishing up a SAR build from a parts kit.

I wish IWI would make traditional Galils again. I would definitely buy one. Had access to an IDF SAR when I was in the service. FUN!

Larry, I should have added, to my earlier post, started with rather, Thank You so VERY much for your service to our beloved country, can't say that enough. (It took me till September 11th, to finally "man up", and enlist, but by then, I was told "your too old", at 38) So God Bless you brother, thanks for protecting our loved ones. And, thanks so very much for these great videos, they've really been fantastic. I guess I'm just a little "too" Galil crazy. (Nah, ya' can't be!!) thanks for the Galil video too!!!

Very Cool, I want one in my collection. Thanks for showing me this Mr. Vickers

I always like the roller coaster - like sound in slowmo.

I had one about 5-7 years ago as my 2nd rifle purchase but I ended up selling it due to a gas problem. When the shells were ejected the slide would catch them. I unfortunately needed money so I sold it but since then I regretted it. Though thankfully recently I was able to acquire all the necessary parts aside from night sights. I’m getting this new one built properly and I won’t be selling it. Love this rifle.

Good vid Larry. I'll add you are making great progress body-comp wise. You 're killing it. We like having you around.

Man you have slimmed up BIG TIME! Keep up the good work, God bless America!

I really like the combination of more standard speed video with the always cool slow motion. Great video as always. Thanks.

Favorite gun!

Love, Love this weapon system! In HEAVY circulation in Colombia. And also a great jungle rifle.

Looking good Larry, can’t wait to see your progress during the upcoming months

I like those heavy looking war guns. Great slo-mo on the shaking barrel. Waow

Larry, you’re looking good brother. Looks like you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight. As always, great video. We all appreciate you bringing us these weapons.

Larry, great video. Love the slow motion stuff. Very cool

That Crossfit is doing work! You look good!

You're looking good Larry

Haven't checked out your channel in a while, you really slimmed down!!! Awesome work!!! Love the gun too!!

I always wait Friday for your videos. Cheers from Italy.

Looking great Larry, keep it up 😃

from finnish RK: the receiver, the receiver cover, the gas tube, the gas block and front sight, the mag release.

Oh, I remember as a kid, my dad buddies from his shooting club bought this rifle in the 80's and it was the closest you can get to actually see something like an AK in those days. Weird, I also remember that the empty cases had a huge dent in the case body. Don't know why I remember that tiny fact😂

Thanks for the awesome video. You are looking well Sir!

Looking good Larry!! Cool gun too.

the Galil used more in SA or south america Estonia also adopted the Galil as their 5.56 infantry arm. It is a dependable Weapon mostly was issued to some reservist, every pound counts for a soldier if you can get a weapon that 2-3 lbs lighter you can carry that much more ammo

Glad to see you’re in a great shape, keep delivering the goods pal

My service rifle in the SADF back in the 80s, very good rifle.

I love the synthwave soundtrack

I'll be very impressed LAV once you hit your BC weight :). Congrats on the weight loss and thanks for sharing the Galil. Had the pleasure of shooting the GALIL AR and ARM FA and they sure are great to shoot.

Wonderful gun...

Larry, you looking good brother!! Keep hammering it!

Very cool!

Add the Galil ARM to my Christmas list. Great video Larry!!

Looking good Larry!

Never disappointed with your videos

that looks like so much fun to shoot.

Love this gun !

Beautiful shots

This rifle always reminds me of the game Counterstrike Condition Zero and the upper version. It's the cheapest option in automatic terrorist rifle, and it's the best cost-effectiveness, so it's my favorite gun over AK when I'm a terrorist. In addition, it has 35 round magazine, making it more competitive with 30 rounds conventional automatic rifles.

Looks like you are getting down to your fighting weight, good job. Enjoyed the video.

The galil is a laser beam on FA. Lol was expecting it to move around a lot more. Love the video

Great video Larry! Jaw line is almost there!

You telling me about how they designed the Galil is very good info to have good on ya

Beautiful content as always

You ever consider a Vickers guide audible audio book. Buy a lot of these to listen to on my commute

Obsolete or not, that's one of my bucket list guns. It's just immortality cool.

It’s sucks these are no longer imported :(

Great video. Still loving my Com Bloc weapons.

Thank You , I New I could Come HERE For The REAL Deal!

Working on getting another ARM. They look nice mounted on my wall in between my AR and my M70 AK.

Always loved the violent ejection and how the casing got banana'd on the charging handle.

One of the best variations of AK.

Looks like a bit of bolt bounce and out of battery ignition in the slow mo ! Thanks for bringing this to us though Larry....

Kicks like an AK Amazing how operating system can differ the recoil .

Your sound guy jacked up the boom sounds.

Looking good LAV

Hell yeah man those polo shirts aren't screaming for their life anymore!! Keep it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUT!

SK YES. Any day. All day. Every day. However this beautiful exhibit definitely takes first place

Always wanted to get my paws on one of these when I saw it on the movie Heat. Didn't realize how expensive and how scares they are here in the United States

Lookkss really smooth shooting!

Messed up sound effects :/

I've served in the IDF in the earlly 80's,gone through M16 and Gallil.True,the M16 is much lighter,but thats the only edge on the Gallil wich is much more reliable in hursh conditions

Too cool, love these vids

I love it!!!!💥💥💥💥💥thx LAV!

Been thinking about building one.

Very nice weapon.

The Galil AR is still my issued weapon, it does have issues with shitty mags and some failures to extract though

Some years ago I had to pick Galil or Israeli FAL... I took the FAL.. both are fun to shoot but a pain in the ass to carry.

Damn Larry looking Good!!

Im going to shoot and use this in my new job in few months super stoked

and my favorite thing about the galil is, of course, the bottle opener.

Looking good, Larry. You look like a whole new man.

Good video mr Vickers saw someone dogging you over your use of slow motion video. I thought this video had the perfect mix keep it up

I'v got one with 1:12 twist. Awsome gun. :)

Most my favorite use gun in games 💥💥💥💥

Bet that costs a ARM and a leg.

Please make a video on Galil-galatz the DMR version of this segment not many videos are out there in that particular firearm

Lmfaooo. I have watched so many airsoft gun reviews over the past month. I wasn't expecting any blowback or shells ejecting out of the gun when it came to the Galil firing montage😂😂😂😂😂

Larry are you doing ok in the health department? I'm not against the weight loss but it seems to be sudden and I hope that it is not the result of a health problem. Keep up the awesome videos.

My buddy had one of these an old one and he sold it for 2000+ here in alaska
