Cool. But I would call them more Galil-ish. Biggest departure is the polymer lower. The rest of it is pretty similar to the later versions of the Galil MAR. My gut feeling is that we'll see them come in at $1400 street, MSRP more like $1650. Higher priced than the 556xi, lower than the ARX-100. Remember, Arsenal sells their big old milled AKs for $1300, and this is a considerably nicer rifle than those. |

Im being told pricing is still being worked out, however it will be less expensive than the Tavor's current pricing. Tavors are $1699 to $1650 these days.

Nice MAC! I always wanted a Galil. I'm hoping around $1000. Like someone mentioned...if It's higher, then I'd rather have an Arsenal.

This should scratch my micro galil itch pretty well. Wanted one for ages but they just cost way too much. First thing I thought, too. A properly done Micro is like $3k-$3.5k. Even if these things clock in at $1400 for the pistol, you'll be way under that, not to mention have a more modern gun. One would assume IWI will sell the stock assemblies separately for such usages... Quoted:

The plastic lower doesn't bother me, but the AR butt stock does. Same mistake Sig made on the 556, but they corrected it a few years later. Hopefully IWI will see the light. GARY

What an odd caliber choice. Why not 5.56 up front?
MAC, since you're posting, do you happen to know if the 5.56 Galil ACE can be readily converted to the ACE NATO? Galil ACE 5.56: 
NATO version which uses AR mags: 
Just wondering if the mag wells can be swapped out or if each version requires an entirely different rifle. I would think if they brought a 5.56 to the market they might go the NATO route, although if they import and sell Galil mags for cheap then I don't see a problem with going the traditional route. 35 round standard magazines would also be nice. Would also make Galil mags cheaper for those that own traditional Galils. |

If they bring these over in 5.56 and the rifle takes standard AR mags I would buy a couple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galil_ACE 7.62x51 
A couple of countries are already using the 5.56 ACE, although I don't think any use the AR mag/NATO version. I hope you can apply the NATO mag well as an adapter or there is a way to swap between the two. Going from the pics, I don't think that will be the case though. The lower does not look modular. |

I find it really hard to believe that IWI wouldn't bring the ACE Nato version in, and I would be surprised if they didn't bring in the 7.62x51mm version
The Tavor exceeded their expectations in sales, their asses better be ready with enough of these things to meet the demand |

Like, but not sure I love. Certainly not at $1400. If it were $1000 I might learn to love the pistol, but it wouldn't be my first choice at the likely price point.

I'm just guessing.. but since this is an AK based rifle, they are probably trying to get into the AK market.. so they started with the typical AK caliber. Similar to the several years where the only Arsenal pistol or krink was a 5.56, and everyone was going WTFFFFFFFF ARSENAL  the whole time because they wanted it in 7.62 or 5.45

Id buy at least one if they are $800 or below. Something tells me that they will be ridiculously higher than that though so... Ill just stick to my VEPRs and Saigas. If I get surprised and the Galil Ace is affordable though I will definitely be grabbing at least one.

Both the rifle and pistol version(with 10" barrel). Hard to tell what the price will settle at. $1300-1400 perhaps. |
