James River Armory makes a clone of the Galil made from South African R4 parts kits called the Gallant.
You get your choice of wood or plastic handguards and if you have a bayonet lug or not.
What you don't, normally, get is a bipod.
The Galil ARM came with a bipod. The AR and SAR did not.
The front sight that comes with is from an ARM, so it will accept a bipod.
The bipod on the Galil is singularly useless as these things go.
The length of the legs is predicated to allow the 50-round magazine to clear the ground.
If you're shooting level, you're WAY above the ground.
If you're hunkered down trying not to get your ass shot, the muzzle is aimed at Mars. This is sub-optimal.
What the bipod does really well, is pose the rifle for pictures really well!
That alone justifies getting a bipod for your ARM clone.
The same thing is true of the clamp-on bipod for the Tantal.
Both Atlantic Firearms and Classic Firearms have Gallants for sale for about $1,000±$50 for the bayonet lug and/or wooden handguards.
If you've got the scratch, you should get one. And a bipod for pictures.
