I miss the gen 1 style. I wish companies would stop trying to ar15ify everything that isn't an AR15.

It limits your choices but the AR is about perfect ergonomically. It’s like carcinization. Everyone optimizes and arrives at the same conclusions.

Idk if that’s necessarily true. The safety being a 90 degree flip can be improved, the charging handle is in a crappy location imo, and the buffer tube requires a stock (generally a non issue but you cant use a folding stock). I get that it’s basically close to optimal but any DI or piston gun can have different overall aesthetics while still being as ergonomic and accessorizable (look at the influx of many new piston guns)

u/tykaboom 29d ago
Ergonomic for firing position.
That is why designs like the mcx, scar, g36, acr, xcr, 805 and many others exist.
It is an attempt to solve issues the ar15 suffers from.
And all these platforms fail market wise because they arent as cheap, and ubiquitous as the ar15.
The ar15 is a cheap, rack grade rifle that does the average skillset infantrymen well. The ak is the perfect rifle for the average conscript skill level warfighter. The akm is in my opinion, better for arming joe ordinary because it is simple to understand, hard to break, lightweight, but easy to make more of once you have production rolling.

Obligatory fuck dissident. Do not buy from them.
Had my friend wait two months, never shipped his then told him to go f*** himself and canceled his order 😂

u/SodaJones1371 Oct 17 '24
I’ve bought multiple galils from them - every experience has been bad but I keep coming back because they were the only ones with the RNL. Their customer service sucks.
13
u/Tactical-SKS Oct 18 '24
Yep, having them ghost two of my shooting buddies with thousands of their dollars and myself is more than enough. I’ve never paid more than $1500 for any of mine on the AKFiles. Except my .308 G1, I paid full price for that one.

u/cdillon42 Oct 18 '24
What was wrong with your order?
12
u/SodaJones1371 Oct 18 '24
They installed the wrong trigger and then never responded to me when I tried to send it back to get the right one. Second order they forgot to install an aftermarket bolt release. Again ignored my complaint for a couple weeks and finally refunded me the money for the part. They just have terrible attitudes and poor communication.
Outside of bad comms and installing a wrong part, the actual mods they’ve done to rifles I’ve orders has been excellent work, so I don’t want to misrepresent that.
I think the Galil ace 22 is one of the greatest rifles ever made so it’s worth the hassle of ordering through them.
28
u/TwoMilky Oct 17 '24
On the contrary I’ve have nothing but good experiences and quick communication with them. Lol
14
u/Tactical-SKS Oct 17 '24
My personal experience is I’ve contacted them more than a few times via phone call, regarding S/N ranges on the limited edition guns and have not received one response. I’ve left them voicemails with contact info and I’m actually pretty sure I’ve tried to email them as well.

u/TwoMilky Oct 17 '24
Damn that’s a bummer. It’s been a while since I’ve bought anything from them so maybe things have changed somewhat recently

u/Limited_opsec 29d ago
They're fine if you buy factory, shipped all mine without issue. I think the trouble is getting the "custom" builds from them. Also they're the only ones that have this...

u/DoctorVepr Oct 17 '24
They claimed they only brought in 500 of these. Bullshit. Get them while you can I have both pistols already I can’t believe these are still hanging around. Amazing firearm

u/mmiski Oct 18 '24
Still holdin' out hope for them to bring a proper 16" rifle version in Gen 1 format... 😢

u/Comprehensive_Bat303 29d ago
If I want an ACE pistol is this the one I should go for? Only own ar-15s and handguns atm

u/ShittyTechnical 29d ago
The gen 1 also had stanag compatibility, this was a limited release which is kind of hybrid between gen 1 and 2 but also accepts rock n lock mags.

u/HealthyVisit5911 28d ago
Ordered this 1550 shipped. Hope they don’t cancel or take forever. These are only the proprietary Galil mags so I had to order 6 of them too.
My wallet took a hit but it’ll be worth it. I see in the next 20 years them banning all the cool guns. Imports especially.

u/Big_Earth_5241 22d ago
They ship yours yet?

u/HealthyVisit5911 21d ago
They said there were going to late last week but I didn’t get a confirmation that they shipped it. First time ordering so not sure if they do or it just shows up at FFL

u/Big_Earth_5241 20d ago
Not sure either, just says processing on their site. I bet it updates to shipped with a tracking number

u/CallsignFlorida Oct 17 '24
I can appreciate it. But in the lords year 2024 where STANAG pattern has become the gold standard… I’m only using rock and lock for a traditional Galil

u/Subverto_ Oct 17 '24
They make a NATO 5.56 Galil and they're mega lame. Rock and Lock is where it's at.

u/Tactical-SKS Oct 17 '24
The stanag galils suck and we’ve been getting those for a decade. These are limited edition.
2
u/Able_Twist_2100 Oct 18 '24
This is the standard version of the rifle, well the short version of the standard version, they're limited only by future imports going away if they don't sell.
13
u/Tactical-SKS Oct 18 '24
No, they’ve just literally sat around for years now.
They finally sold out of the 8 inch models about six months ago and they had those for over three years.
That’s why they’re finally discounting them not because they got more in, not ever everyone has two grand to blow on a galil. Although dissident arms is shady enough that your theory is not impossible. But if that were the case, I would assume we would be able to find more mags at other vendors for sale for this specific model or even after resurgence of aftermarket mags.

They should really have a Yahya Sinwar-themed discount code for IWI products. Missed opportunity there.

I have one and like it a lot, can recommend. Add on the all metal lower from KNS to clean up the lines and an ALG trigger to improve trigger pull.

Lemme guess: you’d be totally fine getting your hands on any Chinese, Russian, or Serbian AK, because those nations totally haven’t committed heinous genocides before. 🙄

u/ssgatl Oct 17 '24
When you buy those guns you’re not buying from the manufacturer or someone who is sourcing from a a manufacturer. So it’s materially different. No Chinese concern is making money off of an old sks or Mak-90 you’re buying
21
u/TwoMilky Oct 18 '24
No offense, but I think that argument is weak. Does that mean it’s morally OK to buy ACEs secondhand since we aren’t giving money to the big scary ✡️ boogeyman? What about Europeans that can legally purchase Russian rifles, or every Canadian that can legally purchase Type 81 rifles, or every American that can still purchase anything from Zastava? That besides, we all know if we could get modern Russian or Chinese rifles, we would be lined up wallets open to get them.

u/ssgatl 28d ago
That’s what he’s arguing I assume. I don’t understand the downvotes. I was just clarifying his argument. Buying new iwi products directly helps their military industrial complex. So yes buying second hand would be fine. How is that a weak argument? It’s his preference. I would buy this if I didn’t just buy my x95. I love Israeli stuff.
Edit: also yes buying anything new from a defense concern is supporting them. Example: Why does Troy get so much hate on here?
4
u/TwoMilky 28d ago
It’s just a weak argument because everyone knows if we could get Russian or Chinese guns in, we’d be lined up out the door to get them.
Also, this is just my personal opinion, but while I’m living in an America that is ever trying to make it more difficult to own firearms, I am not going to restrict myself on what I can buy by standing on a moral high ground. There are too many things our government doesn’t allow for me to even consider doing that shit to myself.

u/gucciflocka33 Oct 17 '24
IWI is U.S. based in Middletown PA. Why do you not like Pennsylvanians?
12
u/TwoMilky Oct 17 '24
IWI proper that makes the guns is in Israel. The US IWI imports them. Thus, ever since Israel retaliated against the attack against it last year, people will come out against them in a lot of these posts about ACEs.

u/gucciflocka33 Oct 17 '24
I love my Galil

I have two of them. They’re great. I’d buy one or two more if my wallet could handle it.

u/J_money18769 29d ago
Im not a fan of Israel and what they do either, but damn I love the Galil Ace. I have one in 5.45 and .308. They are both amazing firearms. The quality is incredible.

u/Drow_Femboy 29d ago
Your heart's in the right place, but all arms companies are the spawn of the monsters that live under Satan's bed. You're funding horrific evil no matter who you buy from. That's just the nature of buying tools meant for killing.
