Iwi Us Galil Ace Gar55 G2 762Nato 16 20R Sidfld

The IWI US Galil Ace GEN II 7.62 NATO rifle carries fifty years of proven mechanics into a modern platform built for serious shooters who demand reliability and precision. Based on the legendary Galil design, this 16-inch rifle represents a thoughtful evolution of a battle-tested legacy—refined through real-world feedback and modern engineering. Whether you're planning a hunting trip, setting up for long-range accuracy work, or building a dependable tactical rifle, the Galil Ace GEN II delivers the accuracy and ergonomics you need without unnecessary frills.

The Galil Ace GEN II trades nothing in reliability for its modern improvements. A closed rotating bolt long-stroke gas piston keeps the rifle running clean and consistent. The milled steel receiver sports an 18-inch full-length Picatinny rail on top for optic mounting flexibility, while the free-float M-LOK handguard (with slots at 3 and 9 o'clock) gives you room to add lights, grips, or other gear. The 16-inch chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged CrMoV barrel shoots a 1:12 twist and is threaded 5/8x24 for suppressors or brakes.

Ergonomics matter, and IWI listened. The reciprocating charging handle lives on the left side of the receiver for true weak-hand operation. The safety lever has been shortened and given a faster throw. The side-folding, adjustable telescoping buttstock accepts standard M4-compatible stocks and ships with a Magpul CTR stock and riser. At 8 lbs 6 oz unloaded and 34.5 inches extended (25.7 folded), the Galil Ace GEN II balances maneuverability with a full-length sight radius. Magazines are Magpul LR/SR25 GEN M3 type with 20-round capacity—note that US-made magazines are required for legal compliance on this domestically assembled rifle.

This is a rifle built by people who understand what shooters actually need: confidence in the field, straightforward controls, and the honesty to improve when the data demands it.
