Not to mention I think they (galils) generally have a bit longer of a barrel... 18+ inches IIRC? compared to 16 inches with an average AK. So, that might actually net you a little bit more velocity... but I, myself, like as short a barrel as I can get away with.
If you want a .223 rifle AK style... why not look at AK74's in 5.45. It's a Russian round designed for the guns... effective as .223... and cheap as hell. Thats my plan when some funds show up (waiting patiently).
