If it's a Kareen, try to beat them down to $250, but if the mechanics are good, it's still worth the $275 IMO.
You really have to watch buying Israeli surplus, piles of guns were used as training guns and by civilian shooting clubs in Israel.
Condition can be pretty poor mechanically so be sure to look it over very well if you plan on using it as a shooter.
Also, don't be taken by the "Mossad" marked guns floating around.
This was a marketing gimmick, Mossad is not going to run around with their name on the sides of their guns IMO.
