I am wondering if you are talking about the "new" Israeli "IAI" guns just coming into the market, or the old "IAI" Irwindale arms company from the early 80s? If it is the IAI of old, didnt sound like they were much more than shooters, but the sketchy reports I have heard about the new guns is promising, putting them way ahead of the ChuckDalys and near Mil-spec Springfields. The price looks pretty good too. Granted this is second hand info, so take it for what it is worth. Be Safe, DougC
