I don't think most unbiased people would say it's a great gun but most would say it's a good gun. It doesn't take long at all to get used to the controls on an X-95. The older TAR-21 types weren't even that bad...

Do you mean the bolt carrier assembly? Like the spring and rod etc
Yes, the bolt carrier is different from the one they have it on the manual, and it can’t be disassemble the way the manual shows me.
If you're trying to get the bolt pin out you'll need to grab a pair of plyers, place a rag on the shaft and yank it back. Mine is back well over an inch.
It's right, it's just not as clear as it should be, as they've made minor revisions to the design over the years. If you cant get the cam pin out, it just means the rod isn't pulled back far enough. Don't be afraid to give it some elbow grease. It's the only thing holding the pin in.

We used to go through this all the time at the Zahal tavor courses. Lots of slightly different configurations spread out between the various rifles. Some of them you can feel a "rubber click" when the rod pulls back far enough and locks in to the buffer.
I think the Canadian version which requires a longer barrel to be non-restricted, I guess at least the barrel is made in a different batch to the US ones. And also the way to disassemble the firing pin from receiver is slightly different to what shows in IWI US's video, so there may be some difference between these two. If they are both from IWI in Israel, I don't see any difference regarding its quality.
Took me hours to figure this out. Look so simple in the video.
you sure you aren't talking about the ghalil? I am pretty sure tavor was a fresh design like the uzi.
There's definitely some kalash inspiration, but there's just as much AR18 influence in there as well, as well as others. To say it's "Just a bullpup AK" or "just a bullpup AR18" doesn't do it justice. It has plenty of innovations of it's own.
There isn't a difference. IWI US just released their rifles before the new charging handle was ready and so sold early models with a placeholder. US rifles have them now too, and they sell an upgrade kit for the early adopters. They assist in unlocking the bolt which is useful if you have a stuck case. If you get an aftermarket charging handle you lose that feature.
Please enlighten us where you see AR18 influence. I'm at a complete loss.
It's basically an AK bullpup, as previously mentioned.
There is zero accuracy issues regarding the Tavor/X95. The only issue regarding accuracy this platform has is the unrealistic expectations of people who are to dumb to realize that this rifle was designed as a CQB rifle and not a platform built for accuracy. Using the AR15 as the "gold standard" in regards to achievable accuracy is also asinine as the AR15 platform has about a 40 year head start of people and companies owning and perfecting the design.
