IWI Galil ACE SAR Gen 1 SBR 5.45x39mm, 13-inch CHF/CL Barrel, Midwest Industries M-LOK, ACE Folder, Rearden FHD, 9 Magazines
This factory short-barreled rifle is a Gen 1 IWI Galil ACE SAR in 5.45x39mm, imported by IWI US with Israeli manufacture markings. Notable upgrades include a Midwest Industries M-LOK handguard, KNS plastic delete kit, KNS pistol grip, KNS stock adapter, and an ACE right-folding skeleton stock, plus a Rearden FHD prong flash hider. It is a registered NFA item (factory SBR) with a 13-inch cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel marked "CHF/CL 1:7.5 H3," and comes with nine 30-round AK-74 pattern magazines.
This example is the Gen 1 configuration, identified by the early-pattern right-folding skeleton stock and absence of Gen II nomenclature. It features a steel receiver, full-length Picatinny top rail with numbered T-slots, ambidextrous safety levers, and a left-side, reciprocating charging handle. The rifle accepts standard AK-74 pattern 5.45x39 magazines (30+1 stated capacity), and retains the factory hooded front post and rear aperture sights integrated into the top cover.
