This was purchased on a whim. This is my first King Arms weapon and so far I am pretty impressed with the King Arms Galil.
What you get in the very nice foam padded box. Well you get the gun, one 120rd mag, well written English manual and an actual speedloader.
The gun itself is very solid and appears to have quite a bit of steel in it. The only play in the gun is the fore-grip, it's ever so loose. This is a very minor complaint really.
Since this is a fully licensed copy of the real thing it has full IMI trades. I have never handled a real Galil so I cant vouch for the authenticity of the trades. Being that it is marked 223rem makes it seem like it has civilian markings. The selector on the grip does move but serves no purpose. All weapons controls are in the traditional AK selector setup. 
The stock is a folder and very solid in both the extended and folded position. The stock locks positively in both positions. 
Mags are slightly longer then real steel STANMAGs. They fit in most of my mag pouches but I could see how some pouch configurations could be a tight fit. The mags are proprietary, I had thought maybe KA would make AK mags work. But as with the real steel the Galil has it's own mags.
It's a bit larger then a 74U.
But slightly shorter then a full size M4.
This gun does have a blow back system. It really serves no purpose other then to look cool. Which it does.
Upon closer inspection, AK mags do fit but don't lock in place. Looks like with some minor dremmel work to the mags and you would be all set. The down side of this is I don't think the mags would work in an AK anymore.
Another option may be swapping out the mag catch with an AK catch or even a custom made catch. I have no doubt taking a little metal off the stock catch would also work. I personally would not want to destroy the stock part.
