Our Assessment: This I.M.I. Galil Model 710 S, serial number AAL-2100381, was produced between 1989 and 1994 and represents one of the scarce post-import restriction variants of the Israeli Galil rifle. Manufactured by Israel Military Industries, the Galil is rooted in the Kalashnikov operating system but refined with Israeli engineering, heavier receiver construction, and enhanced sighting features. The 710 S configuration reflects the transitional commercial era when features were adapted for U.S. import compliance while retaining the core mechanical identity of the military-pattern Galil.

Chambered in .223 Remington with a 16" barrel, this rifle offers the familiar controllability and ballistic performance of the 5.56 platform in a robust configuration. The rifle includes two metal 35 round magazines, a wooden thumbhole stock, flip-up night sights, and a side receiver scope mount, maintaining the distinctive Galil profile and practical modularity. The bore rates a perfect 10 out of 10, and the action functions correctly, indicating excellent mechanical condition.

Approximately 98% of the original finish remains, presenting a clean and well-preserved example consistent with careful ownership. The combination of strong finish retention, correct accessories, and desirable Israeli manufacture enhances its appeal. As a late-production IMI Galil 710 S in .223 Remington, this rifle stands as a tangible piece of Cold War-era Israeli small arms development adapted for the American commercial market.
