Neophytou Gas-Operated .22 Rimfire Conversion for the R4/Galil
This video showcases a rare, one-of-a-kind .22 Long Rifle conversion kit for the R4/Galil rifle, developed by Tony Neophytou. Unlike typical blowback or floating chamber designs, this conversion utilizes a gas piston system, aiming to retain the original rifle's handling characteristics, including trigger pull and ergonomics. The kit features a modified bolt carrier and uses standard Galil magazines with a 10-round insert. The video highlights that this innovative design was ultimately rejected by the South African Army for non-technical reasons. It offers a detailed look at the mechanics and performance of this unique firearm modification.
