IWI GALIL ACE SAR

Posted May 14, 2023

IWI GALIL ACE SAR is a unique and complex rifle, that has been built upon a long history of success but also builds on modern and innovative design elements, to give it a fresh look and unique performance. With a galil-style action and an advanced modernized AR-style design, there is a great synergy between old-school and modern and the combination creates an extremely strong, reliable and accurate rifle, that will perform well on the range or in the field.

At first glance, the GALIL ACE SAR looks like any other AR-style weapon. But the similarities end quickly. Although similar in form factor, the action of the SAR is fundamentally different from those found in common ARs. This isn’t an M4-style weapon in every way, but rather an upgraded and redesigned version of the ancient Galil action, founded in the 1970s.

The design of the SAR has been modernized with updated ergonomics and comfort, a milled receiver, a full-length rail system and multiple tactical features, all designed to give the weapon the best performance in a variety of circumstances. The SAR is chambered for 5.56 NATO, and comes in either 10 or 20 round versions, one for each of the two barrel lengths available (10.5” and 16.5”).

The SAR has a long history of success with reliability, and the innovative and modern design makes the SAR an extremely accurate weapon. The chromoly-vanadium steel barrel features a 1:7 twist rate, which is designed to accurately fire both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition. The barrel is also free-floated, and the gas system is adjustable, allowing the user to further customize their rifle to match their own preferences and shooting style.

The GALIL ACE SAR also comes with a unique ambidextrous finger rest, which is adjustable for either right or left handed shooters, and can be easily removed without tools. This feature gives shooters unparalleled versatility, not only in terms of accessing a wide range of tactical access points, such as optics and lights, but also in providing increased comfort and control when shooting.

Finally, the GALIL ACE SAR also includes a reliable, adjustable trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a hammer and disconector, a long blade trigger and a curved trigger guard, all of which are designed to be very intuitive for shooters regardless of experience level. The trigger pull can be further adjusted depending on user preference with the adjustable trigger weight and take-up.

The bottom line is that the IWI GALIL ACE SAR is a highly sophisticated and innovative rifle. The combination of the galil-style action and the modern performance enhancements make the SAR an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, accurate and powerful tool for their next shooting venture. It was built to excel in all kinds of environments, and its potential for accuracy, reliability and comfort are all unbeatable. Highly recommended.
