Adam5,
several months ago I bought a Golani Sporter from AIM when they were going for just under eight hundred dollars. Mine came with two really good magazines and no bayonet lug. The folding stock was loose and I neglected to send it back [within a reasonable time]. I ended up shimming the stock and will eventually pick up a wooden buttstock or another folder. I was able to find a wooden handguard (for sixty dollars to include shipping) to give it that Israeli Defense Force look I wanted. I really enjoy firing my "Galil" although it is heavy for a .223 firing platform. I tried a "clip on" scope mount, but that proved unsatisfactory and I got a refund on that. The more expensive top scope mount is most likely the route to go in that direction. Adam5, if you elect to buy a Golani Sporter (a Galil is expensive), buy one at a gun show where you can test the folding stock. I have found that a few have a slop in the hinge like mine. Get a good one that is tight in the fold. Do not waste your money on a cheap scope mount. Most of the ones out there are junk. The going rate on wooden handguards is over one hundred dollars. You can find them under seventy-five. I like my Galil and will keep it.
p.s. I also have a Daewoo AR-100 (with the clubfoot) and it is my go-to rifle.
