The IWI Galil ACE Gen II Pistol in 7.62x39mm is a 13-inch AK-pattern pistol built on the Galil long-stroke gas piston action and shipped with an SB Tactical SBA3 side-folding stabilizing brace (IWI part no. GAP33SB). The Gen II update adds a free-float M-LOK handguard, a full-length two-piece Picatinny rail, an updated trigger and a shorter safety throw. Its 7.62x39mm chambering gives you the classic Kalashnikov cartridge with affordable ammunition and a steel-cased supply that runs through any AK. Magpul MOE AK magazines feed it, holding 30 rounds each. The platform comes from IWI and suits range days and general rifle-caliber pistol use.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 7.62x39mm, the standard AK cartridge with a deep supply of ammunition.
• Barrel length is 13 inches, a compact length that still gets good velocity from the cartridge.
• The barrel is chrome lined, cold hammer forged CrMoV steel, built to last under hard use.
• The rifling twist is 1:9.45 inch, right hand, matched to the weights loaded for 7.62x39mm.
• The barrel is threaded at the muzzle, so a muzzle device mounts directly.
• Magazine capacity is 30 rounds, using Magpul MOE AK/AKM PMAG magazines.
• The pistol ships with an SB Tactical SBA3 side-folding stabilizing brace, which folds the brace out of the way for storage and transport.
• The handguard is a free-float M-LOK handguard with slots at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, for lights, grips and sling mounts.
• The receiver carries a full-length two-piece Picatinny top rail, giving plenty of room for an optic.
• The operating system is a closed rotating bolt with a long-stroke gas piston, a proven design for reliability.
