Iwi Us Galil Ace Gar27 G2 556X45 16 30R Sidfld

The IWI US Galil ACE GEN II 5.56 NATO rifle brings proven pedigree to modern American shooting. Built on decades of refinement—drawing from the legendary Galil platform and the robust mechanics that made the original rifle a global standard—the GEN II delivers reliability, accuracy, and user-centric features that appeal to serious rifle owners who demand both performance and adaptability. This 16-inch 5.56 NATO semi-automatic rifle is assembled in the US and engineered for shooters who want a versatile, dependable platform for the range, hunting, or home defense.

The GEN II improves on its predecessors with a full-length 2-piece Picatinny rail mounted on the milled steel receiver, paired with a free-float M-LOK forearm that locks out handguard flex for tighter groups. The charging handle reciprocates on the left side, enabling weak-hand operation and faster transitions. A closed rotating bolt long-stroke gas piston cycles smoothly while the updated trigger profile, shortened safety throw, and side-folding adjustable telescoping stock (shipped with a Magpul CTR and riser) give you ergonomic control whether you're running tactical drills or hunting. The 1:7 inch right-hand twist and chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged barrel deliver accuracy and longevity in a compact package that weighs just 8 lbs 12.6 oz unloaded.

Magazine compatibility follows AKM/AK-47 standards, though US law requires you to use only USA-made magazines in this rifle (per 18 U.S.C. § 922(r)). The 30-round STANAG magazine capacity and 36-inch collapsed length make it equally at home in tight spaces or extended to 39 inches for shooting comfort. Whether you're building a modern rifle collection or stepping up to a platform known for uncompromising reliability, the Galil ACE GEN II balances classic design with current-generation features.
