The issue is that its receiver has a 3-pin (holes) fire control group construction and the BATFE thinks that this by definition makes it a machine gun. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lauraburgess.com\/clients\/iwi-us\/Galil%20ACE%20Recall%20Notice%20122815.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The full press release<\/a> and where to return the pistols is below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i><b>Galil ACE (GAP39) RECALL<\/b><\/i><br \/><i><br \/>\nIWI US is conducting a recall of all Galil ACE (GAP39) pistols that have a receiver with a 3-pin (3-hole) fire control<br \/>\ngroup construction. While these pistols cannot fire automatically, BATF&amp;E has historically held that AK type<br \/>\nreceivers with 3-pin (3-hole) fire control groups are, by definition, machine gun receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, all owners (FFL Dealers or Consumers) of a GAP39 pistol must return their firearms to IWI US, Inc.<br \/>\nimmediately for either a full refund or you can opt for replacement with a 2-pin (2-hole) pistol within 90 to 120 days.<\/p>\n<p>FFL Dealers and\/or Consumers must include a copy of an invoice or receipt with the returned firearm. IWI US cannot<br \/>\nissue a refund without a receipt.<\/p>\n<p>There are no safety issues involved with this recall.<\/p>\n<p>FFL Dealers and Consumers should contact IWI US, Inc. at (717) 695-2081, email recall@iwi.us or write the<br \/>\ncompany at:<\/p>\n<p>IWI US, Inc.<br \/>\nAttn. GAP39 Recall<br \/>\nP.O. Box 126707<br \/>\nHarrisburg, PA 17112<\/p>\n<p>IWI US, Inc. will issue a Return Authorization number (RA#) and will issue a \u201cCall Tag\u201d for UPS to pick up the<br \/>\nfirearm(s) at no cost to the FFL Dealer or Consumer. Returned firearms must have a RA# or they will be refused.<br \/>\nPlease allow up to 4 weeks to receive your refund.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A picture of the Galil ACE pistol can be seen on page 7 of <a href=\"http:\/\/lauraburgess.com\/clients\/iwi-us\/IWI%20US%202015%20LowRes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IWI&#8217;s US catalog<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to be safe rather than sorry when dealing with BATFE intepretations, IWI is recalling their Galil&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2015,2016,2017],"class_list":["post-1131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-galil-ace-pistol","tag-iwi-usa","tag-recall"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10567,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131\/revisions\/10567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
