Galil Ace 308
The dependable mechanism of the original Galil rifle, which IMI developed in the late 1960s, served as the foundation for the upgraded Galil ACE 308 . The renowned Russian AK-47 and the Finnish Valmet RK 62 served as inspiration for the IWI Galil ACE, which has undergone 40 years of continuous development to become the incredibly dependable and highly accurate Galil ACE of today. Since the original Galil was created, improvements have been made to:
- 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
- LR/SR25 magazine compatibility
- Full length 2-piece Picatinny style top rail
- Picatinny style tri-rail forearm with built in, slide on/ off rail covers
- Fully adjustable iron sights with Tritium front post
