Issues with Gen 1 Galil Ace 7.62 x 39

[h4everything]

I have a Galil Gen 1 ACE 7.62x39 pistol. running it suppressed I have been having hell to get it to run. I have tried couple different types of full power ammo and silver bear sub sonic. I can't get it to run. I have cleaned it lubed it with different oils, and in all of the places your supposed too.

Any suggestions on these issues? I have emailed IWI without response.

1st question is will it run without supressor? I have two Gen1s pistol and rifle but in 5.45. Both have never failed with approx 500 rounds on each.

When you say can't get it to run....

How many rounds have you fired through it ? ( Approx. )

Will it fire a single mag fed round and extract / eject properly ?

With 2 rds in the mag does it fail to feed the 2nd round after firing the first ?

Does it have issues when you are firing it non-suppressed ?

Have you considered the KNS Galil Ace Pistol Adjustable Gas piston ? I don't know if this would fix your issues... but it kinda sounds over gassed with the suppressor. NOTE... KNS makes a bunch "AK" gas pistons... so make sure what you "want" fits.

At least 300 by me. some full power some subs

It will single mag feed and eject. I don't think it has enough laquer in it to have that issue in the chamber

It will normally do the 2nd round. It will average 3 malfuntions. Most malfunctions are about a half feed. Pull the bolt back 1/4 way turn it loose then it will feed. I have not shot it without a supressor much. I will try that.

Why would over gas make it not work? I would think it might wear the gun out faster by sending to much energy to the bolt but I don't see how it would cause the malfunctions.

I have the sheet I think that I might send it back to IWI for warranty work.

Has anyone sent anything to IWI before? What kind of service did you get?

thanks for the help guys
