I am. Bait and switch. NS was asked on several occasions and they said we would get the proper one, not the retrofit.
can you show us what is the difference between what we are getting and the IDF version?

US version is a Tar-21 CH basically retrofitted to stick straight out and has the hinge action removed so it is a straight slider.
Now look at the sample that has the correct IDF CH. Notice how it rests hinged forward, and is significantly curved so that it does not stick straight out and maintains a slim profile?
It also has a little chunk of plastic behind it that is being called a 'forward assist' however it only affects the CH, so while its not a true FA it does allow you to easily lock the CH forward again after locking your bolt open.

So based on that description sounds like the civies version is not an improvement but a hack. Why?

Short cuts?
Got mine. Initial impressions, very well built. Trigger is definitely a bit better than a normal Tavor 21, but not by a long shot. Gun balances just the same but feels more robust and slimmer. The color is a REAL IDF OD and not some forest green crap the U.S. got. IWI definitely changed their dye on the polymer and these are spectacularily non flashy and go with OD gear much better. The internals have been hardened which is why they look brownish in photos, makes for a much stronger bolt carrier and bolt. This thing will survive serious abuse and probably doesn't need lube or cleaning at all. Backup sights are a bit wonky but they work and co-witness with any AR mounted scope or red dot. Great package altogether. We definitely got a better gun than the U.S., but shafted in certain ways (Namely the charging handle), but I can live with that.
One point to note, my USED magpul gen 3 mags won't drop free, but newer, less used ones will. All GI or metal mags drop free too.
The gun comes with the soft case, manual, a U.S. made mag (Definitely not junk though) and cleaning kit. Top notch service from Tenda, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few who actually has his hands on the OD versions of these, since they pulled an arm and a leg to source me one.
