Made in Israel, configured as a semi-automatic copy of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) version of the FN FALO light machine gun called the "Makleon." The Makleon, along with standard service rifle version called the "Romat," were adopted by the IDF in 1955 and were extensively used through the Six-Day War, War of Attrition, and Yom Kippur War before gradually being phased out during the 1970s and 1980s for lighter options like the M16 and Galil. Features winged post front and range adjustable peep rear sights, heavy profile barrel with integrated bipod mount on the flash hider, a dust cover attachment riveted to the top cover, Hebrew selector markings with the auto section restricted with a tab, and a side folding polymer grip carry handle. The left side of the receiver is marked "7.62 MM S.A. FAL" while the right side is marked with the "star of David," a line of Hebrew script, along with the manufacturers mark, Armscorp of American importer mark, and serial number on the magazine well. Fitted with a combination heavy ribbed hardwood forearm with perforated steel heat shield, smooth polymer pistol grip, and smooth hardwood buttstock with folding shoulder rest steel buttplate. Includes a green nylon sling. Provenance: The Jon M. Maxwell Collection
