Your rifle might be overgassed due to the gas port size, it might be worth it to invest in a KNS adjustable piston to vent the excess gas. The correct part number should be: AGP-A-18
All Galils are horribly overgassed, which I tend to think of as a virtue for the most part. I was at AGC shooting in the middle of bay 2 with my ACE and putting spent shells in my bag on the right hand side table. My Galil SAR clone is similarly enthusiastic.I have the refinished part on the way. Thank you.
I am the original owner and purchased the rifle in 1987.
I don't think it is an over gassed problem. Possibly over 10K rounds fired. Never had a failure of any kind with the Galil.

Put your old bolt into the new bolt carrier to retain proper headspace, and you should be good to go. I would personally not screw with a genuine pre-ban Galil more than I had to, given its relative worth.
$3000, if it's in excellent condition. Maybe more. Check Gunbroker.1987 price was $868 and now it is worth ?
It remains in immaculate condition.
It's an AGC attention getter.
Bolt carrier will arrive today.KNS piston install should just be a roll pin on the Galil. 100% reversible.
Glad you were able to find a new carrier for reasonable money! I was honestly surprised at that. AK stuff has gone through the roof price wise and Galils are rarer than that. Though all those 5.56 parts kits were imported not too long ago. It is a cool rifle.
I have the replacement installed. Very happy.I bet that could be welded and made to look new again.
