James River Armory Gallant 5.56 NATO Semi-Auto Rifle, Galil-Pattern, 16 in Threaded Barrel, Folding Metal Stock, 35+1
This U.S.-made James River Armory Gallant is a semiautomatic Galil-pattern rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 16-inch threaded barrel and slotted flash hider. It features a stamped steel receiver with Hebrew selector markings, a crest emblem engraved on the right rear receiver, and clear manufacturer markings from Burgaw, NC. The classic ARM-pattern front end with a grooved wood lower handguard and the right-folding tubular metal stock deliver the familiar Galil look and handling.
The long-stroke gas-piston action, upturned right-side charging handle, and top-cover aperture rear sight reflect the original pattern's proven layout. The metal stock includes sling loops front and rear and a serrated buttplate, and the pistol grip is black polymer. This rifle ships with one 35-round Galil-pattern steel magazine, and the manufacturer advises using 5.56 NATO-spec ammunition.

Built in the United States by James River Armory, this Gallant follows the Galil ARM pattern with a stamped steel receiver. The receiver is marked "GALLANT CAL 5.56" and "James River Armory, Burgaw, NC." Selector markings include Hebrew letters, and a crest emblem is engraved on the right rear receiver forward of the stock hinge.
The operating system is a semi-automatic, long-stroke gas piston. Controls include a right-side, upturned charging handle and a manual safety with a right-side selector lever. The rifle uses a top-cover-mounted aperture rear sight and a hooded front post on the gas block for a clear, service-style sight picture.
Furniture is true to the pattern: a wood lower handguard with longitudinal grooves and ARM-style gas-block bipod-mount ears, a black polymer pistol grip, and a right-folding tubular metal stock with a serrated buttplate and sling loops front and rear. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
The 16-inch barrel is threaded and fitted with a slotted flash hider. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO with a 35+1 capacity, the rifle includes one 35-round Galil-pattern steel magazine. The manufacturer advises use of 5.56 NATO-spec ammunition for this platform.
