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 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:
GAR16556, GAP556, & GAR556SBR ONLY: Last-round hold-open feature
Charging handle (reciprocating) moved to the left side of the milled steel receiver allowing for weak hand operation
