I would say that price is a large factor again, they obviously got a bundle of Galils for the price that a smaller number of production Rk95s would have cost them. I am not 100% sure that if the Rk95s are even manufactured any more, atleast the civilian version M92S manufacture ceased a a few years back.
The Estonians also received thousands of U.S. M14 rifles.
