I just weighed by Gen 2 8" 7.62 and on my scale it is 6lb 15.7oz with a few of those plastic BCM mlok panels and a SLR handstop so let's say 6lb 15oz naked
The magazine they ship with it weighs 6.6oz so I suspect their page incorrectly states that the weight is without a magazine when it actually includes one. Not sure where the extra lb of weight is. Gen 1 handguard was plastic right? Wasn't the brace more plastic too? |

Thanks for the inputs! So it looks like IWI stated the weight as too low for the Gen I, and too high for the Gen II. Based on the inputs above, it looks like the Galil ACE 7.62x39 Pistol with stabilizing brace is around 7 lbs without magazine, for both Gen I and Gen II.

Some proof as it were.
It's a cheap $20 scale so it's probably not super accurate. Has this handstop on it which is less than an oz: https://slrrifleworks.com/m-lok-handstop-mod2-barricade/ I suspect the different brace mechanism and hand guard account for the weight increase. If you put a different brace on it or SBR it and put a different stock on it you could probably cut some of that weight off it.  |

Does anyone have a measured weight for a Galil ACE Rifle (7.62x39, 16" Barrel), for either Gen I or Gen II?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does anyone have a measured weight for a Galil ACE Rifle (7.62x39, 16" Barrel), for either Gen I or Gen II? I never put my Galil on a scale but I can say it feel's somewhat lighter than my Zastava M70 ZPAP. The ACE, ZPAP and the SAM7 are all in the sane weight class. If you want something light don't get any of them.  " />
