    DoD handles FMS sales. It also avoids ITAR.

    The mystery of this myth/story has been revealed! Excellent plausible deniability on the US's part and the Russki's got the BMs to boot! Watch in about a year, they will reverse engineer that POS and say its the AK-08!

    Agreed.

    ETA: Bushmaster or not, I still hate to see a "good" AR go to waste!

    Exclamation definatly 14.5inch

    don't know how or why they ended up with the bushmaster m4s.

    while i was visiting some people with the IDF i did see a large number of m-16's that were not made by colt. mostly of the a1 vintage H&R, hydromatics ect.

    some really old commandos & CAR's --might have been former USAF?

    what i want to know is where did the PLO come up with all those M-16's???

    The US has given guns and training to the PLO in the past.

    I believe in those cases the US gave guns to Palestine and those guns wound up in PLO hands.

    Could get ugly if it is found that they are non-NFA guns that were illegal exported and then converted in-country.
