mancat 2,368 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have never noticed what watch a man is wearing. Somehow it never occurs to me to care. but then how do you judge a man's wealth? Do you at least check to see which iPhone he has, or what pair of Italian sunglasses he wears?

XD45 7,124 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I would like to have a Galil again My wife asked me if I was going to sell my Golani and buy the Galil ACE. I told her that was half a silly question. My Golani was hand picked by me at J&G. It's perfect. Good headspace with bolt not ground. Proper receiver hardness. Looks like it was built from all new parts. Not parting with it. The other half of the question is almost certainly yes at some point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VR762Shooter 838 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Sand and dirt scratch stuff up and can cause damage both functional as well as cosmetic. Someone most likely wants that rifle back after the video was done. Gummy bears twinkies and sandwiches dont leave a mark......except maybe in your underwear I don't think he minds. I doubt he paid anything for the rifle. Seems, for a while at least, haven't been able to watch his videos without feeling I'm watching an infomercial 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 He still gets to play with cool stuff before most people get their hands on it. So I keep him subscribed just to see what's coming out (like this video). 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 This actually has me considering selling my 7.62 to help fund one of these. I've always wanted a Galil, but it's way out of the price range, nevermind the fact that I'd have to start over with ammo and mags. The fact that 1) this one's x39 2) it uses AK mags, and 3) it's not $3k are huge selling points to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Was subscribed to the guy, but dropped him way before his gummy bear fiasco. He does and says stuff that's just plain wrong in some of his reviews, and the guy came across as prick in several communications with him. Prefer other reviews found elsewhere to anything he does currently... This actually has me considering selling my 7.62 to help fund one of these.

I have a East German Weiger clone that I like quite a bit, but would seriously consider parting with it and spending the proceeds on the Ace. Running three different calibers now, besides those, don't want to shoot anything else that doesn't utilize 7.62x39 ammo and mags....

Garys4598 1,065 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) My Galil AR rifle chambered in 5.56 needs a big brother (i.e., cartridge caliber) to share space within my vault. The Galil ACE rifle in 7.62x39 would be ideal! "> "> Edited October 28, 2014 by Gary 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is the ACE an issued weapon in Israel? I thought they had almost universally adopted the M16/M4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is the ACE an issued weapon in Israel? I thought they had almost universally adopted the M16/M4. I read somewhere that these were specifically made, designed/updated for contracts to a couple South American countries. No clue how true that was. They don't do anything for me.

dieb4iwake 60 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I bet that jackass can't wait to shove it full of flour and gummy bears. I'm just surprised he actually shot 7.62x39. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

horatio 515 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Darth-mm is correct. I thing it might have been in the thread about the vitayiz. Atlantic themselves said it I want to say about a year ago. Also darth, please stop posting threads on new guns. Your making me go broke Edited to add. Yes it's in the other ak weapons section. Thread title vitayiz let it be for sale. Atlantic posted it back in march. Sorry don't know how to post links from an iPhone.

There's also a huge thread over on AK Files where Atlantic has updated recently. Wont release any pictures tho, or give a time frame. They did say they are in testing phases right now. I'm hoping they'll be out around tax time. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186025 Edited October 30, 2014 by Mullet Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm holding out for Atlantic's 9mm Vityaz "clones" that are on the horizon. Wiki has a list of countries that use the ACE. Israel does not. But this rifle looks perfect for countries wanting to upgrade from AKMs. They use the same ammo and mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
