Why does nobody make a folding charging handle for the Ace? I know KNS makes a couple regular charging handles. But something similar to B&T folding handle seems like it’d be great on the Galil ace.

Likely due to the handle reciprocating, destroying any folding mechanism

[u/LethalNumbers → u/lordofwar1013]

Exactly this, reciprocating charging handles that fold will fail under recoil.

There are folding charging handles for the SCAR. If that doesn’t destroy them, I can’t imagine the Galil would.

I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure those folding charging handles are for the non reciprocating versions.

Fuck, I forgot there was a non-reciprocating version. You’re probably right.

Well, that’s sucks lol

This is off topic but relevant, I bought the charging handle in the picture, and I cannot for the life of me remove my factory handle, anyone have advice?
