I actually saw one in Israel about 3 1/2 years ago mounted on an old IDF carbine still in service. It looked very well used. I was very surprised it was still even in service. The soldier was surprised that I knew what it was.

I own a few MKIIs for the AR/M4. The MKI was built around the Galil with the bottom shaped to fit around Galil gas tube.
Also note how small standard Galil front sight hood is

One thing to enhance aiming was to replace Galil front sight hood with a South African R4
Its larger and easier to aim with I think (faster shots).
Plus the Galil hood bisected the lens of the Elbit right where dot appears. R4 fixes that.
Even if I did not have a Elbit I would still replace Galil hood with R4

Ever run across Galil's in the field or with foreign forces?

As a tangent of that, ever get trigger time on the Finnish RK95?

Very nice.  It really illustrates that there are a few cosmetic differences between the Galil Ace and the original Galil receiver.  Which means select ACE parts could convert an older Galil into a left side charging handle.

So the receiver-side stock knuckle on an ACE is the same (round) shape with a single roll pin as the old Galil? I thought it was a goofy new square-ish shape?🤔🤔

For those of you who did a classic stock swap onto an ACE, can you explain the process or post a close-up pic?

That's pretty rad!

Did you get any brands/makes off of the railed hand guard, and do they export?

I just took the stock pivot pin (under spring pressure) off and removed the e-clip.  Installed the old-school stock onto the existing stock knuckle.  
There was no need to use another knuckle.
Made a tool out of a short piece of polymer/nylon punch and inserted it into a small block of wood.  Honestly, it looks like a dreidel.  I used it to push the pivot pin up, offset the pin slightly so it'd
still be held inside the lower part of the knuckle and inserted end of a paper clip into the lower hole so the pin would not shoot across my shop.  That way I didn't need three hands remove/install the e-clip.

My recently acquired James River Armory Gallant via Classic Arms. Build and refinish quality seem top notch except the bipod was not refinished. No issues with surplus mag insertion and lockup, but the proof will be in the shooting when I get her to the range next week.

I think they are made by B & T.  Not sure if they export that exact version, But I think a version of the rail is available for purchase in this country (or used to be).  They are rare, and of course, pretty spendy.

Looks very good! What can you tell us about the web gear? Do your pouches close with velcro, or something else?

I have some similar belt-mounted IDF pouches from years back, when I had the local boot and shoe repair shop sew on "MOLLE" webbing to the back, and add a fastex buckle to the front. The alterations probably cost more than the surplus pouches themselves, but considering it brought NOS stuff into the current decade, it was worth it IMO. I think that "seat belt" style webbing is an excellent compromise between durability and flexibility. It's good stuff.

That is a 1987 vintage IDF Ephod Combat Vest. I paid $90 for it and ordered through Soldier of Fortune back in the day. All pouches are velcro closure and the original metal buckles cracked and broke and I had them replaces with the ones shown.  The harness has 4 mag pouches that hold 2 Galil/AR mags each, 2 grenade pouches, field dressing pouch, smoke grenade pouch, buttpack and room for two US style one quart canteens.

Just got my ARM build back from InRange.  Nothing terribly fancy, just a Tortort receiver and Apex barrel, but Troy did an awesome job.  Very much worth the wait!

I'll also add I'm very glad I went this route over jumping on one of the ATI Galils after reading about their magazine issues.  Cost significantly more, but I have a lot more confidence in InRange's work than ATI's.
