Another neat one.......... These rifles are essentially Armalite AR-7s, but were sold to Israel in the late 1960's and were used by their air force as survival rifles. These were imported by Bricklee Trading Co. in 1994. only about 200 were ever imported into the country. Apparently there were handful of parts kits that were imported also, minus the receiver. This piece is all Israeli, indicated by several Hebrew stampings on the receiver and elsewhere on the rifle. Also, as you may notice, there is no Armalite inscription on the right side of the receiver. This is another indication that it is 100% Israeli, as they sanitized the markings, and only left the Armalite inscription on the barrel.The Israeli's added the wire sliding stock, the FAL pistol grip, the k98k mauser front site, and cut the barrel down to 13.5 inches. When they where imported back into The USA a 3 in muzzle brake was welded back on to get them back over 16". They originally came with 2 more mags a mag storage clip on the wire stock and an uzi sling....
