Dick Splash Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Looking at the foresight and the trigger area I would say that it's an 'AK something' DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconSnake Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Looks to be a Galil SAR to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I'm with RS on this one guys. Except it is a Galil ARM-R. See pic below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yeah, that's definitely a Galil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRose_76 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I ditto that, thats a Galil, to my information a Galil 707 (SAR). Some reference, on top the Galil 707 (SAR), and the Galil 706 (AR): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The soldier is an Estonian, judging by his flag, so that nails it to a Galil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zantar45 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 At first it looked like a R4, then I noticed the stock was like the one on a Galil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyovan4 Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Thanks for the help lads! I thought it was a Galil, but it looks somewhat similar to the Bofors Ak5 and I just wanted to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 It's all but similar to a Bofors AK5 mate, trust me I used an AK5 throughout my whole service. This is an AK5 (FN FNC80) Never mind the weird looking thing on the muzzle though, the swedish army issues rubber caps as protextion on the muzzle nowadays, aparently all to many poor solidiers lost teeth from getting struck by their own rifles while entering and exiting vehicles.

Harrm Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Take it from me, a rabidly psychotic AK-47 fan...thats definately a Galil. You can tell by the plastic/metal piece in front of the trigger (you probably wont notice it, take another look). Cheap knock-offs usually overlook that little detail, and just put a diamond-shaped block there. --Harrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well, considderling that I found this after a few minutes of searching I can pretty much say you are right Harrm. Link to article Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Keenan Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 it is a r-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconSnake Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) Estonia uses Galil rifles. The Vektor R4 family is manufactured in South Africa for SA military use under a license from Galil.
