Can I own in Michigan with the brace

Brook, **NO**, the ISRAEL WEAPON INDUSTRIES GALIL ACE is Overall length 27.5 inches with Brace Extended and 19.5 inches with Brace Folded. Michigan prohibits :Pistols with an overall length greater than 26” (The folding brace would have to be pinned or if opened becomes a Felony) : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/michigan_restrictions.pdf

Whoops I was incorrect sorry I misread the compliance pdf, with the brace it is NOT compliant the pistol has to be UNDER 26" not over, sorry. With the brace its 27½" without the brace it's 19½" so it is legal without the brace, but as configured its a no go sorry, I reread the pdf after I posted that, but it won't let me edit my original post. You could always go with an IWI Zion as well that's an AR15 by the same manufacturer with a 16" barel and they are in stock in quite a few places.

YES! Galil ace pistol with a brace is legal in MI and is register and regulated like any other pistol. Overall length 27.5" with Brace Extended and 19.5" with Brace Folded. CHECK restriction HERE ( https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/michigan_restrictions.pdf ) I hope this helps!

Brook the overall length of this Pistol is Overall length 27.5" Michigan requires it be longer the 26" to be legal you are good. Pdf with more info here https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/michigan_restrictions.pdf

Is the magazine release a paddle lever in front of the trigger guard (as pictured) or button release on the side of the receiver?

Unfortunately the item is not showing on IWI's site, so I can't say for certain. It would be best to contact IWI directly about their product to confirm which mag release it has. They can be reached at 1-717-695-2081 Monday - Friday: 9 AM - 4:30 PM ET, or on their contact page here: https://iwi.us/support/contact/

John, wish I could say for certain but, us community members do not have access to Buds inventory (we're customers same as you). Buds Customer Service will need to verify which with their Inventory Dept. at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

I'm looking to get a SBR and I like this gun, but I want to put a adjustable folding stock on it (and of course register it as a SBR) Can this gun take a stock?

Matthew, yes Sir, This firearm can take a stock in place of the brace but, as you already know, all NFA Rules will then apply to be legal. Cheers!

Matthew, Sure thing. Get your wallet out and build away on your SBR. Here are 3 stock sets at BUDS for the Galil. They are out of stock, but will give you some ideas.--------https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Accessories/q/galil%20stocks/sort/relevance

Does the stabilizing brace come off.

Christopher, yes Sir, it can be detached.

Any restrictions, stamps...!?

IWI does it again! Fit and finish excellent! Oiled and took to the range. Zero was almost out of the box. 4 magazines later, I’m hooked! Fast shipping and exactly as described.

This was my first purchase with Buds,
surprisingly the purchase was perfect and transfer
was very easy.. My Galil ace came in good condition. although I have not found any ammo for it, I am still very eager to fire it .. The gun quality appears to be top notch.. we will see when I can buy ammo for it.. I only wish Buds had more products to purchase, but today times are uncertain so I would like to wish Buds and fellow gun owners ,,good luck

Love this AR pistol. Still configuring how I want it but so far very happy with the Glil. The stock is a bit tight to fold back but if that is my only complaint I am not worried about it at all. May have to get one for the other half.

This is a fine weapon it shoots great right out the box. The iron sights are great at the range and firing has smooth operation. I like that it is customizable to an extent definitely love this purchase.

Robert V on 04/16/2020

This is an extremely solidly built weapon, thus I think you do get what you pay for. Well made and hefty. Quality machining. No issues after first trip to the range. No hangs. No jams with 3 different brands of and capacities of standard AR magazines. Included Iron sights pretty much dialed in out of the box. Very little recoil like a standard AR. A pleasure to shoot.
Field stripping and cleaning not as easy as a standard AR rifle. This design does not have an upper and lower the pivots open with the removal of 2 pins like an AR rifle. Just a top cover that once removed, allows easy access to bolt carrier group and barrel. My difficulty was with top cover being very tight to pull off (the owner's manual actually flags this under the field stripping instructions.) Even harder than pulling the top cover off is getting it back on (the very last step in reassembly). Maybe there is a trick to this but I really struggled until I finally got it seated properly. I have sent a note to IWI asking about this.

This thing is beefy and badass. If you need something for close range protection and feel like you need to waste it away... this gun is for you. I love it!! Compact , along with serious firepower. Quality made !! Buds guns does it again with the best service around.
