Here is a quick video showing the first shots through my friend's 13 inch 545 Galil ACE. I had a pistol version a while back and it was an extremely smooth shooter. This one is no different. I feel the 13 inch barrel is the sweet spot. When IWI starts shipping the 762x39 in that barrel length I will definitely pick one up. Honestly, I hope they make some Gen 1 models with the integral sights and I'll just slap a dot on. The irons just look better and give you a very reliable back up. I wouldn't be running heavy magnification on this style gun anyway.
