    I am aware of the laws pertain to CTAR barrel. I am fairly good friends with TV, and have learned alot from him, this is one of the things I have learned. I am still waiting an official response from Jon.

    If TV is doing it with no problems, and I am able to leftorize mine with no probs (involves removing and reinstallation of the barrel) than I fail to see why I even need a gun smith let alone Jon. He is quite busy as it is and the wait times already seem to be horrendous.

    And if they sell me a barrel, what is stopping me from installing it myself? If they wont ship/sell it uninstalled, what is stopping me from doing what TV does on his own once I receive my newly barreled firearm?

    See the problem is people will still do this stuff anyway and there is so many ways to still get around this whole "only NS is capable" rule.

    Why don't you take your barrel out and ship the gun to them with no barrel to have a new one installed. Then you'll have 2 when it gets back

    So I just got off the phone with Jon of North Sylva, he has stated that for him to bring in a production run of barrels he would need an order of probably 100 barrels to make it feasible for him to plunk down this kind of cash.

    He has said the cost of a new barrel will run in the area of $450 a piece as it would contain a new gas system (likely to change with our dollar).

    NR barrels can be shipped to you and installed by you, CTAR barrels on the other hand, must be installed by Jon as to guarantee the gun gets registered as per law (many people think you can take it to the range, change to a CTAR, play around, change it back and it is "all good").

    He doesn't want to open up a can of worms for the Tavor in light of recent events. This is understandable in the most obvious way.

    Jon figures it will be time to start bringing in replacement barrels next year sometime.

    Good job for spear heading this! All tavor owners should be investing in a barrel while they can without stress.

    I'm in for some spare barrel and parts as well.

    I just configured mine for Lefty this weekend and took it for a test fire. Had the barrel out and it seems that's the only real way to give the rifle a good cleaning.

    What a great rifle the TAVOR 21.

    Those that can, do. Those that can't, talk about those that do.

    I'm still saving for my tavor but things like not being able to get spare barrels or parts in a timely matter kinda been putting me off. Plus I always seem to be able to find a way of somehow damaging everything I own so I need to be able to fix it. Plus it would be nice to switch from restricted to non-restricted if wanted to.

    So, if I own a CTAR does switching the barrel to the standard 18.5" Tavor barrel make the rifle Non-Restricted for the purposes of transportation and shooting at non-registered ranges?

    Thanks

    Nope. Still restricted untill you get it verified and the registration removed.
