Well @Podmonkey after reading your parts list I got thinking and wondering if anyone uses either of the two krinkov muzzle devices on their galils (I really love the bulgarian flash can)
And came across this
And came across this
I'm not familiar with the Bulgy can, its what's pictured? The Version of the Ace we get in this country has 1/2x28 threads so I don't think a Krink device would fit.Well @Podmonkey after reading your parts list I got thinking and wondering if anyone uses either of the two krinkov muzzle devices on their galils (I really love the bulgarian flash can)

That looks pretty cool, if I had known about it I'd have checked to see if someone made a 1/2x28 compatible version.View attachment 87355
Looks like most are traditional RH M24x1.5mm threaded (true bulgarian flash cans) and the CNC Warrior US made one is for "M14 LH muzzles"
But while not exactly the same design or style as the Noveski. It's pretty close so (while not actually important) I think you Ace is going to look super slick when its all said and done

That being said I got the KX8 not for its appearance but because it is a highly effective flash suppesor and moderator. I am surprised Noveske got tge ATF to sign of on it since it contains what could be considered a single baffle. What ever blast and flash it doesn't moderate it sends downrange away from the shooter. A buddy of mine has the larger KX3 on a 10.3 l" AR and it does a remarkable job in toning down the obnoxiousness level. Mine will have its hands full with the 8.3" stub of a barrel the Ace has.
I won't have the KX5 till October and I'm waiting on the Modlight too.Yessss that's awesome.. the final piece yes?
@Edwardteach72, I totalled up the bills for everything. I spent a disgusting amount of money.
LMT money.
The realization that for a similar amount of money I could have gotten a Lewis Machine & Tool MWS Sniper-

Does sting a little. But then I would need about that much money again for glass and I really wanted to have my truck gun before the election.
Oh, I got an Email from Midway, the modilte an KX5 are in transit now. As is the Arisaka mount.
I highly recommend the Arisaka light mounts BTW.
I think they are the best innthe biz and they have something for near every application.
I'm going to get my Galil, I'm going to get my Galil, I'm going to get my Galil I'm going to get my Galil
Interesting thing about the brace too. As supplied by IWI the hinge and the extension tube seem to be the same as a factory stock over which a sleeve to which the rubber brace is slipped onto is placed View attachment 87710 View attachment 87711
The brace rotates freely around the sleeve and with some effort can be removed. That said the brace seems like it will do the job one would need it to. It is surprisingly rigid.
Its sufficient.Looks like a decent LOP (as much as "legally" allowed)
That's hydro dipped? Remarkable, looks very convincing in the pic.Personal AK of whomever posts Thordsen Customs FB page (not sure if that's Alan, himself, though I know he posts on YouTube):

Took a Gen III stock and had it hydro-dipped in "maple" to match the forend. I suspect if you put this on a rack with other AK's in a free state, it would take a while before anyone noticed. There would be a definite "what the f__k is that?!" moment, but not right away.
He said it took 6 months (due to COVID-19) and $280, so he clearly put quality as the first priority over speed and money.That's hydro dipped? Remarkable, looks very convincing in the pic.
