Manufactured by Springfield Armory using an Imbel-made receiver and a set of Israeli parts, this is a registered reproduction of the Israeli "Makelon" squad automatic weapon. A variant of the FALO (Fusil Automatique Lourde, Heavy Automatic Rifle), the Makelon served alongside the "Romat" FAL as one of the Israeli Defense Force's primary infantry weapons for the Six Day War, War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War, eventually being phased out in favor of the Galil ARM squad automatic weapon. Post front and tangent peep rear sights, with a long flash hider and swiveling bipod at the muzzle, adjustable gas system at the front sight, stamped steel handguard with extra hardwood grip section, smooth pistol grip and a fixed buttstock with flip-up shoulder rest. The Springfield markings are present on the metric pattern receiver, with the trigger housing bearing Israeli markings with a right handed full auto/safe/semi selector switch. The bolt carrier is properly configured to engage the safety sear, which is present and accounted for in the receiver. Includes an unmarked shipping box. Provenance: The Al Walker Collection
