I had purchased a Galil.308 semi-automatic a while back when it was legal to own an "assault weapon"..Having been through several L.A. riots, I figured it was a good long range home self-defense weapon to have.

Recently a friend asked to borrow the Galil because there had been a rash of home invasions in his area where the BG's wore body armor. He only wanted it until he got passed the waiting period for his Ruger mini-14.

He told me that when he went out to the range to get the feel of the Galil, he had several people ask if it could be converted to fully automatic. Not being a "spray and pray" type of fellow, I never really thought of it. So I'd like to ask the folks on this board if that is possible?

Thanks for your replies and suggestions.
