Have the opportunity to trade my Gen 2 Ace in 308 for a Tavor 7 - what do you guys think?
Hey all,
I’m expected to get in a gen2 ace in .308 and I’m struggling to find any adapters to swap the hinge for a picatinny or buffertube type conversion. Not a fan honestly of the folding feature but it’s the battle rifle I wanted to go with. I saw KNS has a picatinny adapter but there are no videos of installation I found nor does it specify on the website. Also any recommendations on other options are appreciated. Anything helps thanks.
Edit: does not specify on KNS website whether the pic adapter will fit the gen 2.
This is a weird request but I saw that ak-12 mags are being made in turkey and they're pretty affordable and ik that 5.45 mags can be converted to 5.56 by changing the follower and was wondering if they'll work in a galil. The reason is that I legit had a dream where my galil had an ak-12 mag and now I cant really stop thinking about. Cant tell if it'll be cool af or out of place so I was hoping one yall goobers and insert a ak-12 mag into a galil so I can see how it looks.
Galil Ace Gen 2 with some minor upgrades
On sale for $99 in "good" condition. Wipe em down with isopropyl alcohol and hit em with some black rattle can. Good to go
So im in the market for a Meprolight optic for my Gen 1 Galil Ace 21. I am looking at the Meprolight RDS but also looking at the M21 with the 4.3 bullseye. Which one would you choose and why?
Is there a way to find out when my Gen 1 Galil Ace was made or do I have to call and ask?
Won it at auction, now to find batteries and hope it is all in good condition when I get it. It's been a grail item for me.
Just tossing it out there for reference. Has anyone been able to replace the pistol grip with something else?
Occam Defense and Pro2Customs announced at SHOT show (via the IWI booth) that they have partnered to bring to market a 5 position externally adjustable gas block for the Gen 2 Ace. The port sizing will be tuned by barrel length and calibre, as well as being offered to individuals who like to tinker at home. Any thoughts on this?
Hey there! I was wondering if anyone had an extra Gen 1 handguard(preferably in new condition) that they would willing to part with/sell. Any help is appreciated!
Hey all. So, first post. I've been considering a galil ace for a few years. Wanted 7.62. but .. at my local dealer, they have a few guns on sale that they have had in stock for years. One is a 5.45 galil, 16 inch. Normally 1799. They have it for 999.99.
I know zero things about 5.45 x 39. Worth getting? I realize this is a galil forum, so I'll probably get a lot of HECK YES replies. Lol. Just looking for some thoughts for or against.
Am I the only one wanting this lol?
More Galil goodies - a batch of original Israeli-made Galil flash hiders brought back from Israel. Particularly interested in help identifying #1 in the picture. It's 3.5" long, compared to #2 which is 3.8" long and more common. Anyone seen these, either mounted on Galil's or available separately?
I already built my more modern SAR and now I'm looking to do a more "historically accurate" SAR IDF built. Of the options tortort offers; 1 or 2 lightning cuts, optics cut, what would you choose to do? Just curious of what people have done with their builds when they were going for accuracy.
Can somebody help a brother out with this? I just need to know what the thread pitch is for my 13” Gen 2 in 7.62x39. I don’t have any extra devices to try on the threads to check against.
I have called and emailed IWI and their customer service has been dog shit. You make the gun?! How can you not answer this simple question?!
If anyone has the answer to this, please let me know. I have searched everywhere and seen a few different conflicting answers, so if you own this gun please let me know what’s what!
Does anyone have a ARM bipod the want to sell me or a link to one in stock ?
I’m having a really hard time confirming which is the correct piston for the 16 5.56. I thought the AGP-a-8 would be the right one but then it mentioned something about large/small caliber piston diameters and I can’t find info on whether this one is right. Can someone please confirm?
Also, how are your experiences with it? Would like to find a setting where it works both suppressed and unsuppressed with a can like a Sandman S or Surefire RC2 without sacrificing reliability.
Thanks!
any info on using these recivers for galil sar builds? asking for a friend,
quality etc..
