   Link to photos below. 
I was told this was imported and was used by the IDF. I can’t really find ANY information or sold listings on ones with this markings. 
What I do see is that it looks to have a Winchester barrel that is spotless. Numbers match. Did I do ok at $1350? I kind of impulse bought it based on the fact that I didn’t see anything else like it, and because the bore looks near mint. Any info on this thing would be helpful 
Oh and I was told it was called a “quality hardware”

	At least the serial number on the stock matches the receiver. They often get separated somewhere during the journey.

	Serial number is Quality Hardware. CAI is the importer-Century Arms International, I believe. Serial number on the stock like that is typical of Israeli firearms. The carbine is an arsenal rebuilt example in good condition. I think you paid pretty much the going rate for what you have. You did ok on that. The makers name is hidden under the rear sight. I'd say you did just fine. It should be a good shooter as well as being somewhat collectable.
