I have an opportunity to buy one of the U.S. model Tavors with the 18" barrel for super cheap, but I'm worried about the barrel length. From my research it seems that the Canadian models have 18.5" barrels but this one just says "18.0"

I tried looking up the RCMP FRT table but apparently that isn't publicly available so I'm not sure how to tell if this rifle will be restricted due to a few millimeters of barrel length.

The model is called the "B18" and can be found on the IWI website here:

Does anyone own one of these "B18" models, or does anyone own a Tavor that has an 18.0" and NOT an 18.5" barrel that is non-restricted?

Thanks.
 
after a re-barrel and cost of import the money I'd save buying this one gets to the point that it's nearly negligible. I'll probably just get a NR one in Canada, makes life easier.

What rebarrel? There are no 18.5 inch barrels available. I am not 100% sure American Tavors can cross the border. Can anyone confirm this? Im thinking they need their own FRT number.

Please do some homework on our laws.

All Semi-auto centerfire firearms require a minimum barrel length of 18.5" to be Non-Restricted.
 
The restricted tavor (18" barrel) I see on IRUNGUN is $2000 USD. That is roughly $2250-$2300 CAD.
You can buy a non restricted (18.5" barrel) made in Israel tavor for $2550 CAD now.
 
I don't even think there is an FRT for the U.S. Tavor's at the moment...I'll look tomorrow.

There is no FRT for US made Tavors that I can see, only ones made in Israel are listed. If anyone has a US made Tavor I would love to have a picture of it.
