tavor barrel

[FraserJ20]

Ok, I am interested in the tavor but am curious what kind of accuracy are we expecting from these rifles?

Is it chrome lined or is nitro treated like I believe the Swiss Arms is?

Do the israeli Tavor barrels have a different treatment?

I looked through most of the main TAVOR thread and didn't see any info on group sizes. Anyone have any first hand experience?

25 yards

same target

50 yards

100 yards

didn't have time to experiment, what you see it "grab and shoot" groups I could get with red dot sight.

They arent giving the chevron Mepro? I got a dot mepro on a 7.5" AR and I wouldnt use it past 100. With as long a barrel as the tavor I would atleast want the chevron for longer range work if I was going to be stuck with a mepro on it.

Demo Tavor had dot M21. Size of red dot almost completely covers that 7" bull on the last target.

Your groups make sense to me. The Tavor was designed as a CQB weapon. I would not raise my hopes on very tight groups 100m on. As with many military combat rifles, the right ammo and a steady shooter can produce very accurate results past the 300m range.

It's not designed as a CQB weapon at all. It's meant to reduce the silhouette of the soldier who is carrying it. It's perfect for close in work because it is very small and maneuverable. It's a replacement for the AR as the Israeli's wanted something for urban use. It has a longer barrel than an AR carbine and can easily shoot out to 300. You SHOULD expect it to be able to hit out to 300 just like my 14.5 AR can.

Don't expect it to shoot penny size holes at 100, it's a battle rifle, not a precision gun.

I don't know where you get this statement......

Due to the overall shorter length when compare to the traditional design, many thought that the bullpups are suitable for CQB works is simply wrong, except for very few designs(F2000 and A-91). You see, because most bullpups will eject hot brasses only on one side at any given time, one can't simply switch hands to fires them in house-to-house like the conventional designs can.

I disagree. During our demo shoot one fellow tried exactly that - switching sides as if he would in a battle. Brass ejects close to face alright but not quite into face. I think he only said "ouch" once or twice and kept firing. With helmet and goggles on this wouldn't be an issue at all.

so are the barrels chrome lined or straight chromoly?
