IWI Rifle, Model : Galil ACE, Capacity : 30 round, Barrel length : 16 inches, Caliber : 5.56x45mm/.223 Rem
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 ONLY: Last-round hold-open feature
- Charging handle (reciprocating) moved to the left side of the milled steel receiver allowing for weak hand operation
- NATO STANAG magazine compatibility. (Note that the Galil ACE rifle is assembled in the US from imported and US parts under 18 U.S.C § 922(r).

- Picatinny style tri-rail forearm with built in, slide on/ off rail covers with pressure switch access
- Side Folding adjustable telescoping buttstock with 2 position removable comb on all rifle models
