Have an IMI 308 galil AR with the box/cleaning kit/ manual and stuff. Always wanted an m40a1. GAP rifles are looking good. Curently have an m24 so an A1 should go good with it right? Stupid idea? What are galils brining nowadays?
Selling a galil to purchase an m40a1 clone? Am I stupid?

If you're gonna get an M40A1, this is a great time to do it... there are currently scope bases being made, and U.S. Optics is going to do a limited run of MST-100 scopes. These were both very difficult to find in the past!

Sell the Galil and do the M40 and get a cheap AK to replace the Galil…. They do make stupid money!
Wishing I had bought a Galil and a Daewoo back in the day!

There is a 100% chance you will regret selling a firearm you like.
Sell love goo instead.

DO NOT lose an original Galil to obtain a clone of a bolt gun... especially if you already have an M24.
You gotta be ON IT...
Also- the kits that came in a while back gave many of us a chance to obtain even what was never imported:

If you use the Galil, then it's probably not smart to sell it. If youve always wanted an M40A1, then now is the time to get in on one before the clone parts become unobtainable again. You'll have to determine what you'll do to afford the latter yourself.
Bad move.
I sold my 86 Python to fund something else. Wish I still had the Python cause the other thing is long gone.

Ive debated on it for years, I haven't shot it in 3 years give or take. I don't think Ive had a full mag through it. Mostly due to fear of broken parts, bad looks at tge range ect..
Ignoring the first half of the question and focusing on the important part. Yes you are stupid.
If you haven't shot it in 3 years, and have not put a full mag through it... I doubt your gonna miss it.
Sell it and get the M40A1 while the scopes and mounts are available.

Yeah man one of these things has people aggressively trying to ban it . The other does not . Keep the galil . I have quite a few guns i rarely touch since i got into long range but because of where i live they are irreplaceable . Ive had the same thoughts but no don't do it
WTF? No really, what the ever living fuck do you give 2 shits ANYONE thinks about what you're shooting.
Providing your not a dickhead flagging everyone & violating other safety shit.
Sell it , and buy what you want. If you have already considered selling then it does not mean that much to you.
i got a pile of AKs i got into before prices skyrocketed and build kits dried up. i like them for what they are, i never shoot them ..... been thinking about dumping all AK stuff and being out of it completely.
Same here. I occasionally shoot my Norinco and. My Krink. But the rest are wall hangers.
Fun, but unless engaged in a guerrilla conflict… just range blasters.
Was it Jack O’Conner who said “Only accurate rifles interest me?” Thats why we live here on SH not ARFcom.

the pull towards "beware the man with only one gun, he probably knows how to use it" is strong on many days.
ive gravitated to one AR that is my go-to ranch truck gun, and have too many bolt guns. i think i need to whittle them down, bigly.
That is a nice-looking M1 carbine. Who made it?
I love mine, but it doesn't get shot often.
You're going to break a Galil?
HOW???
By shooting it with another Galil?
That's why I always wear an AUC brassard and drink aguardiente while blasting vallenato music when I shoot my Galils.
Colonel Townsend Whelen, American Rifleman magazine, April 1957, page 46.
Could you expand on that a little? Does your range have sort of anti-semi auto/anti-semitic slant or something?
Every MidwayUSA ad I’ve ever seen started or ended with Larry P saying some variant of “Townsend Whelen said only accurate rifles are interesting…” He, apparently, wrote a whole article about it…
This has long stuck in my head because of my desire for a Ruger No1, with a mannlicher stock, chambered in 35 Whelen.
