Idf ar-15

Saw an ad for Israel Defense Force AR-15s. They are in "New" condition for about $850. Anyone here know anything about these?

wouldn't that break the once a MG always an MG rule?

Hmmm...IDF used M16s, not AR15s to my knowledge.

They are probably built off of parts kits from Israel.

which as far as i know are bought from us.

for 800 and being "Israeli Defense Ar-15" at 800$ im going to guess century C-15s ( made of surplussed parts)

For our military aid they have to buy american made weapons or we don't help pay for it. Last I heard it was a 100$ cost for a M16 to the Israelis. We pay the rest. So I don't think a locally manufactured rifle M16 would be able to compete. Besides IMI now IWI doesn't make ar15/m16s as far as I have ever seen. (might make spare parts though I don't know and would doubt that though)

I know Century was making some AR's from imported parts. I believe they were using barrels, upper receivers, and lower parts mated to commercial lowers. Last I heard they were selling for $650.00.
