This guide details the field stripping process for the Galil ARM, as demonstrated by Alex C. It highlights unique features like the dust cover-mounted rear sight and the bolt carrier piston extensions. The process is presented as relatively straightforward, following a pattern similar to AKM disassembly but with distinct Galil-specific steps.

Quick Summary

The Galil ARM field strip involves removing the dust cover (which houses the rear sight) by pressing the guide rod tab, then removing the recoil spring. The bolt and carrier are pulled back and lifted out. The gas tube slides rearward from its dovetail mount. Unique features include a bottle-opener bipod and piston extensions on the bolt carrier for improved stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you remove the dust cover on a Galil ARM?

To remove the dust cover on a Galil ARM, you typically press the rear guide rod tab. This allows the dust cover, which uniquely houses the rear sight, to be lifted off the receiver.

What are some unique features of the Galil ARM mentioned in the video?

The Galil ARM features a bipod retainer that doubles as a bottle opener, integrated wire cutters on the bipod, front and rear night sights, and an AR-style ambidextrous safety lever. Its dust cover also houses the rear sight.

How is the Galil ARM's gas tube removed?

The gas tube on the Galil ARM is removed by sliding it directly to the rear, disengaging it from its dovetail mount. This differs from the lever system found on standard AK rifles.

What makes the Galil ARM's bolt carrier different?

The Galil ARM's bolt carrier features extensions on the gas piston head. These are designed to reduce 'slop' or play within the gas tube, potentially enhancing controllability during automatic fire.
