Tavor FAQ (updated 08 December, 2008)

I just zeroed my Tavor's BUIS and did it with a bullet tip. PITA, but it can be done. However, once done, it's done until you change ammo.

I was able to hit our 100m, 150m, 200m goings from prone just as well as with the red dot. Some good ol' boys shooting scoped rifles from the bench challenged me to go for the 400m gong with my remaining three rds. With them spotting, I went 2/3 with the iron sights. I'm awaiting cataract surgery for my right eye (left eye already done) so this was particularly gratifying.
 
Sorry if I missed this but looked thru pages and pages and didn't find all the answers to my questions on the Tavor. I am wondering if the 9mm conversion kits are available up here?
 
Bah! Thanks for the info, but I am thinking of going with the Tavor because it is non-restricted. Want something "black" I can shoot without having to go to certain ranges etc etc. Still reading many of the posts here I am tempted by the Tavor, and 9mm conversion would have just been the icing on the cake.

Very nice and great write up. Still very tempted by a Tavor but thinking instead of the 9mm conversion and making it restricted I could just spend the same amount of moola on a dedicated 9mm carbine. Back to just reading about and researching the standard Tavors and how I want to set it up and what my end bill would run me.

I find it best to not add it up and just enjoy it :)

Precisely. The only time I look at cost relavence of the entire build is if I got a certain criteria I need it to meet. Then I ask myself if I am okay waiting to build sufficient funding required to get the project completed. Or if I would rather start it now and progress as funding becomes available. When I got my Tavor I did not have any clue where I wanted it to be in the end, so I settled on a fail safe: an Eotech EXPS 2 model. Then I started the hunt for the perfect build and optics set up for my needs. After a significant amount of reasearch and comparing I settled on an Elcan Specter DR 1-4x. By no means a cheap optic (almost as much as the rifle) and then I became in-factuated with trigger upgrades and top rail and handguard udgrades. All said and done my rifle was pushing over $7k by the time I was "finished".

I have since realised that what I had achieved was not what my goal was but rather something very different, so I have parted out a number of pieces and am going back to a much simpler and less costly set up, however I am retaining all the expensive upgrades (Elcan and Geissele Super Sabra and Lightning Bow). When it is complete I will probably Cerakote it finish it off for good now that it has gone full circle.
 
Krap you had to mention the Elcan........I am not liking this thread as much as I once was......or maybe more accurately my wallet is not liking it. My wife is going to thump me!
 
Just picked one of these up. I have been wanting one for some time now, and there was a deal in the EE I could just not pass up.

I see there are a few in there at lower prices now, very unusual. It must be the poor economy. Either way, now is the chance to get a top quality rifle at a half decent (by Canadian black rifle standards) price.

Since I am going post happy today I thought I would add this to my comment:

Can anyone tell me if the Canadian Tavor's are actually made in Israel? Heard that CND ones were made there and US ones made in the US......is this true?
 
Thanks! Everything i learn just keeps moving this rifle higher and higher up on my MUST HAVE LIST.

My biggest concern at this point is replacement parts. Have had to sit and not been able to shoot a gun in the past because of not being able to source parts. Heck even right now my VZ is sitting with no bloody firing pin so it is just a pretty club atm.
 
replacement parts are easy to get from N.S. But my Tavor has only needed parts because of careless disassembly on my part... lmfao...

I have thousands of rounds thru my Tavor and I it hasn't skipped a beat yet...
