Galil 7.62 ARM
The 7.62mm (308 Winchester, or 7.62 NATO) is the same as the 5.56mm version, except chambered in a different round. These rifles have longer barrels, bayonet lugs, shortened trigger guard and a straight, thicker box magazine. The magazines are almost identical to M14 magazines, which were previously used before a new magazine was developed (the M14 magazines were all converted to fit the Galil) that featured a checkered pattering to them and held 25 rounds.
