IWI US is proud to bring back the world famous Galil ACE family of pistols and rifles to the US commercial/civilian market. The modernized Galil ACE is based upon the reliable mechanism of the original Galil assault rifle first developed by IMI in the late 1960’s. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Russian AK-47 and the Finnish Valmet RK 62, the IWI Galil ACE has been continuously improved over the last 40 years, resulting in today’s extremely reliable and highly accurate Galil ACE. Improvements made since the original Galil was first developed include: Charging handle (reciprocating) moved to the left side of the milled steel receiver allowing for weak hand operation Weight reduction with the use of modern polymers NATO STANAG magazine compatibility Full length 2-piece Picatinny top rail Picatinny tri-rail forearm with built in, slide on/off rail covers with pressure switch access Fully adjustable iron sights with Tritium front post and 2-dot Tritium rear aperture Model Number(s) GAP556SB Caliber 5.56 NATO Action Semi-auto Operating System Closed rotating bolt, Long stroke gas piston Magazine Type MAGPUL PMAG GEN M3 with Window Magazine Capacity 30 Round Barrel Material Chrome lined, Cold hammer forged, CrMoV Barrel Length 8.3″ Overall Length 19.5″ folded, 27.5″ w/brace extended Weight 7.6 lbs w/out Magazine Rifling 1:7 inch twist, Right hand Sights Adjustable with Tritium front post and 2-dot Tritium rear aperture.
