Indumil Cordova AR (Galil-C)

History of the Indumil Cordova AR (Galil-C)

Colombia has developed its own versions of the Israeli "GALIL" assault rifle, known as the "Galil-C AR" series. These rifles come in three main models: the "Galil-C AR18" with an 18-inch barrel, the "Galil-C SAR13" with a 13-inch barrel, and the "Galil-C MAR8" with an 8.3-inch barrel. These firearms are designed for various tactical purposes.

The Galil-C AR18 is a versatile option with an adjustable stock and ergonomic grip. It's 39 inches long with the stock extended but can be folded to a more compact 36.8 inches. It uses 5.56mm cartridges and features a polymer-based Picatinny rail for attaching tactical accessories. The SAR13, with its 13-inch barrel, is more compact and weighs 7.71 pounds, making it suitable for tactical operations. The MAR8 is the most compact, with an 8.3-inch barrel, and is classified as an assault carbine, weighing 7.27 pounds.

All of these models have adjustable features, ambidextrous fire selectors, and are designed for tactical use. They offer a range of options for different mission requirements and operator preferences.
