IDF is for Israeli Defense Forces. It is essentially a stripped down A1 style AR. Fixed carry handle, irons, CAR stock with old round handgaurds. Basically the KISS principle.

If a pic is worth 1000 words, heres a 67 pg thread to give you a better idea than I can describe.

Most of the old CAR-15 style ARs that I saw in Israel also had the old 16 inch lightweight barrels. Now commonly referred to as pencil barrels by those who where not born yet when the original Colt carbines came out..

When it is 100 degrees and you carry the carbine everywhere like a set of car keys, being light and handy is a nice thing. My wife has one around here someplace...I will see if I can find it for a photo.
