The 8.3" CrMoV steel barrel is cold hammer forged and chrome lined with a 1:7 twist, pairing durability with proper stabilization for common 5.56 NATO loads. The barrel is threaded, offering flexibility for compatible muzzle devices as configured by the owner.
Its operating system is the Galil-style long-stroke gas piston with a closed rotating bolt, designed for dependable function in a compact pistol format. The milled steel receiver provides a robust foundation for the platform.
Controls and handling are well thought out, with a left-side reciprocating charging handle and an ambidextrous safety selector. The factory SB Tactical side-folding brace enhances storage and transport while maintaining the compact profile.
Sighting and mounting options are built in: adjustable tritium iron sights (tritium front post with a two-dot tritium rear aperture) sit atop a full-length two-piece Picatinny top rail. The polymer tri-rail fore-end includes sliding covers for the side rails.
This Gen 1 ACE SAR-marked pistol is compatible with STANAG/AR-15 magazines and includes last-round bolt hold-open on the 5.56 variant. It carries IWI US, Inc., Harrisburg, PA import markings and is manufactured in Israel.
