Galil Ace in MD

Wfilardo · Feb 21, 2015

Does anyone know if the, IWI Galil Ace rifle, is going to be available for sale in MD or is it banned by SB281. It sounds like they will also be offering a pistol version that should be available if and when it gets added to Handgun roster.

It should be legal. It all depends on the MSP's interpretation.

However no parts interchange with AK's and the list itself only bans the Galil AR and ARM whereas this is the ACE in 7.62x39 which is an updated design in itself from the original Galil.

should be legal C&C

Can't wait!

It's certainly not a copy of the Galil AR or ARM, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be perfectly legal.

most people buying it should already be stocked, other than people just getting into the x39 market

The steel reiforced pmags will be out by then. Can't wait.

Spent some time trying to break the non reinforced version and I have to say...

I was iffy on the change to the new polymer recipe they went to for the gen3 magazines, it felt weird and the stiffness I thought would translate to brittleness...

Whelp, after magazine push ups and tying a piece of nylong cord around the mag and swinging it like a morning star into trees and concrete, the mag is scuffed but undamaged.

I even went after the thing with a centerpunch. It took an IMMENSELY long time to get the punch through- the material did not crack, it kind of deformed around the punch and then I couldn't get the damn thing out, so I put it on a piece of wood and hit the punch with a sledge...

Went all the way through, cracking a bit of material on the other side.

Mag still works fine! I couldn't believe it. Doesn't even hang up at the point where I hammered the centerpunch through.

This has a folding stock and a flash hider so the flash hider will need to be removed current?

correct.

Wfilardo · Feb 22, 2015

The flash hider and folding stock were the 2 EVIL features i was wondering about. So as long as its only one EVIL feature it should be go to go?

Correct.

You can replace the flash hider with a compensator; there are several on the market that come with ATF letters stating they do not suppress muzzle flash.

OR you can pin the the stock so it doesn't fold. It's also possible once the rifle is on the market IWI or an aftermarket supplier may offer a non-folding stock for it.

TheGunnyRet · Feb 22, 2015

Yep on the specs it states Flash Suppressor so its one of the 2 Evil Features...

Does anyone have one on preorder?

Given the quantities that IWI is delivering with the Tavor, I don't really see the point of a pre-order, or even paying MSRP.

Yup, I totally agree, hence the reason I haven't pre-ordered one. I was surprised to see one of the pre-orders sell out.
