If you are familiar with our TAR-21, this will be easier to explain. Basically the charging pries against the barrel to unlock itself/rotate the bolt initially. The same is true for the proper x95 design, however I believe the US got the TAR-21 (or in their case the SAR-21) design charging handle jerry rigged and pinned straight with no hinge action due to ITAR reasons.

Edward has informed me that this US CH posed some problems on the US Zahal course for doing press checks, etc. as the rifles were having troubles unlocking the bolt slowly for presschecks and then going back into battery afterwords.

Press checks are so " Operator " :) Glad will be able to operate properly up here you never know when operating will be required.

Lovie was pretty frigging adamant about us doing our press checks during the course.
I was like its loaded no need to frigging check...
never had a tiny little woman yell at me like that, it was, an experience...
 
It's nice to see a side by side comparison picture of the rifles, I had my mind set on picking up a gen 2 tavor since prices have fallen in the EE with the announcement of the X95. I think I'm just going to get the X95 now

Press check, what's that?

It is to confirm that the rifle actually chambered a round when the charging handle was cycled. Soldiers do it before going out on night patrol.
You rack the charging handle then slowly open the bolt just enough to expose the rear of the cartridge in the ejection port. You then press against the cartridge with your index finger, confirming its presence. Let the carrier snap forward, done.

Our instructors told us it was usefull at night when you can't see much. But that was 15 years ago, we were still wearing OD green. No idea what is being used/taught nowadays.
