I ran an armory in Israel for about 2 years. We had a bunch of M14s that were all similar in color to your fresh one. In addition, I did my M113 driving course at the same base as the IDF sniper school. Some of their trainees were tented 2 over from mine and I saw their rifles frequently. Mind you, I was seeing sniper-trainee rifles, but I don't recall seeing any that were oddly or differently colored.

Thanks for the info Johnny. Now that I have it back to some form of normal I can just let it wear in. I am still interested in knowing any accuracy mods the IDF did, if any.

This one had the serial # scratched into the stock so I am guessing it was at least kept with the rifle with the matching # for some period of time.

Hi all - I've been looking around for some time for one of these "repatriated" Israeli M14 sniper rifles that Springfield brought back in the 90's. I had one of these in the late 80's, and these basically USGI M14's that did have some tuning done to the actions, along with the mounted scopes and Harris bipods.

Rotor - great job refinishing that rifle and thanks for sharing the details and pics.

Please do contact me if you know of one of these Israeli M1A's / M14's for sale.

Thanks.
