We can’t talk money here but that’s a cool piece.

Did Israel use M1A receivers?

Can't remember the entire backstory on them, but SAI made those for the IDF years ago. I've handled a couple. Other than the heel stamp, there's nothing different about them vs. a std. SAI receiver IIRC.

Search “Springfield armory IDF sniper” for info, plenty of links on them.

Info on Springfield Armory IDF sniper rifles

when did SA market these rifles? I know the receivers are marked differently, but were there any other differences in the rifle? thanks guys

Not a real fan on m14 cheek add-on. But this one is cool. I usually rest my cheek on my back side of my thumb/hand.

 

[jrlj]

very cool

 

[pewod]

Fairly cool for the history.

 

[conditionone]

The stock, scope and mount are special, but other than the Star of David the receiver isn’t special

dang cool piece though

He's asking quite a bit just not sure what it's worth

Israeli... may as well know how to spell it.

WOW

Its not the original scope, so that will hurt the value. It should have a 6x40 Nimrod scope.

That is the way you are supposed to shoot it! I have 2 M1As one is a national match and the other is a super match with the rear lugged receiver with an oversized walnut stock. I can shoot the national match rifle really well with the classic stock weld that you have described; however, I have problems with the thicker walnut stock of the super match. I just cant get my hand around it enough to get the classic stock weld, but it shoots lights out when I do my part.

Trying to purchase this M14 not sure what it's worth seems to be in good condition any help would be appreciated

I dont know if you want to use the iron sights at all, but with this stock, it would be difficult to use the iron sights. Of course this rifle is designed to be used with the scope.

The genuine IDF sniper rifles were built on M14 receivers with the auto selector switch removed.
The heel stamp on the pictured rifle is not an IDF stamp.

Below is the original IDF configuration, minus bipod. (SAI applied the black crinkle-coat paint to the stocks when they made their limited run of these rifles). I'm sure the brown stocks were salty like this original IDF sniper rifle that was on an Italian website a few years ago. Its an original TRW M14 made into an IDF M14 sniper, but such a rifle not legal for import back into the US.

Original Nimrod 6x40mm scope. The rifle for sale lacks this vintage optic, which does hurt value, IMO.

Here's the complete SAI IDF M1A kit from 1999, with an IDF transport case as well. Only thing missing is the AN/PVS-2 night vision mount, which is what the white arrow is pointing towards. This complete set-up w/ paperwork would likely bring top dollar. (It's not mine).

Okay, that thing is cool.

The correct scope will set you back 750-1500. Something to consider
