Manufactured in 1999 as part of limited run of M1A rifles manufactured by Springfield Armory Inc. utilizing Israeli Defense Force (IDF) sourced M14 components. The IDF received a large number of M14s during the 1970s, with the Israelis modifying some into sniper systems, which were later phased out in the 1990s. Surplussed parts from these IDF sniper variant M14s were bought up by Springfield Armory Inc., which used the components to recreate the Israeli sniper variants for commercial sale using new manufactured semi-automatic receivers with an "IDF" prefix serial number range. Features "NM 062" marked winged blade front and "NM" hooded adjustable peep rear sights, flash hider with bayonet lug, and "7790185/66118/X" bolt marked with Hebrew letters and numbered "447". The rifle could not easily be taken down further for inspection. Fitted with a rhino-lined fiberglass handguard along and an over-sized Springfield Armory Inc. Super Match walnut stock glass bedded to the receiver and trigger housing, with steel buttplate with hinged shoulder support plate. Topped off with a Springfield Armory Inc. 4-14x56 2nd Generation Government Model scope on a set of A.R.M.S. throw-lever QD rings, mounted to an A.R.M.S. M21/14 receiver mount. Includes an extra magazine, a copy of the DoD's "TM 9-1005-223-12" M14 rifle manual, and two numbers matching Springfield Armory Inc. certificates of authenticity identifying the rifle as an "IDF M14 SNIPER RIFLE". Also includes an unsigned copy of a letter from Springfield Armory Inc., dated December 1, 1999, certifying that the rifle was subsequently upgraded by the company to "M1A SUPER MATCH CONVERSION PACKAGE #2" configuration, which included upgrades to National Match sights, a Super Match barrel, and over-sized Super Match stock.

Excellent as manufactured as an 'IDF Sniper' rifle and subsequently upgraded by Springfield Armory to Super Match specifications, retaining 97% plus original parkerized finish with some minor edge wear, carbon residue in the flash hider, some minor cycling wear, and limited minor handling marks. The stock is also excellent. Mechanically excellent. The scope is excellent with clear optics.
