My personal opinion is that the RCMP are definitely looking at MANY different guns & "planning"...

I agree with what trottle_monkey said, the more people that have them, the better! So Zephram, JOIN US!!! We either stand together or hang seperately... Remember, each & every owner can contest the arbitrary reclassification in court. That's why the RCMP are going the way they are, they pick on the small numbers first, get precidence & keep pushing their agenda...
CobraGT, I'd contact CanAm and just tell him about the slamfires. With the spring, I was under the assumption that this could not happen...

Cheers
Jay
P.S. I've only put 5.56 through mine so far, but I will try some commercial fodder to see. Not sure when my next range day is, got a couple newbies requesting range time... Hopefully soon!

Jay I need help to understand how a Police service makes the law. They are here to serve and protect using the laws made by civilians in Legislatures or Parliment. And if they are supposed to do things impartially why does it seem they are leaning way over to one side, or so it seems, on their decisions? Management?
 
An amazing rifle but.....

I am currently going through the Type 97 reclassification/ roundup. I bought one of the Lever Arms rifles because I couldn't afford a Tavor.
When I met with my MP about this issue he told me that " It was a problem with these rifles with the magazine behind the handgrip ". He did not specifically say anything about any other Bullpup weapons but it still seemed a touch ominous as he is the Government House Leader and is certainly privy to information that the general public isn't.
They have offered compensation of course as it is only 35 rifles worth $1200-1400. They have now set a precedent of compensation for seizure. So.....
What we all need to do is buy one of these beauties so there are thousands of $3000 rifles and they probably wouldn't confiscate as it would be a ridiculous waste of money on top of their already preposterous waste of money ( registry, CFC et cetera )
This is only my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.
 
I also noticed you changed your flash hider. Is this one better thant the original one.
I noticed that you still have the m-21. Like it? or do you used serveral sights depending on the situation. BTW I wanted to ask : when you got your Tavor you posted some picx with a v58 and a shorty shotty ..what kind of shotty with a 5 rdn mag was that?

Thanks for you time

Keeping and eye on the prize

  • Flashhider is a Nordic Components brake (the same one the STI AR-15's apparently come with). I like it; keeps the muzzle right on target for follow up shots, and recoil is negligible (though there wasn't much recoil to start with!)
  • I have a few different optics, but I personally really like the new Mepro.
  • the shotgun's a Grizzly-MAG with a 12.5" (? something like that; short, anyway) barrel
 
Thats the gun I WANT but its too much $$ for me.

All I buy are the Saturday-Night Specials! (Cz 858, Norinco 1911A1, Norinco M14, Norinco M4...ah, did I mention Norinco yet?)


I want to HUNT with my CZ but the thing just looks to darn stupid with the extra 4 inches...and not chromed. Went restricted!

That Tavor is the ultimate bush gun imo- coyotes and rabbits wont know what hit them!

All mags dropped free, and everything worked properly, with the exception of a few slam-fires, which I attribute to the .223 commercial ammo I was using.

:eek::eek: Holy s**t, I can't believe how casually you mention that. I would be pissed if that happened to me on any rifle let alone a $3000 + one! I can't think of a more unsafe thing to have as an issue in a rifle. Who wants a rifle that might fire accidently everytime you ready it. :eek:

Knowing that this has been an ongoing issue with Tavors this is not good news. Can you give us an update with this issue. What is Canam saying?
 
Meh... I wasn't happy with it, but it's been fine with 5.56 ammo. CanAm's reply attributed it to the ammo, and 'assured' me I wouldn't have a problem with 5.56 ammo... which I haven't. If I'd made a big stink about it, I don't doubt for a second that they would've stepped up and dealt with it - my experience with CanAm up 'till this point has been very positive.

I wonder... if they sieze the rifle and pay you less than you've put into it, can you claim an investment capital loss on your income tax? :)
 
I've noticed a few people changing the flash hider on the tavors they own. I'm curious to see if I will do the same. For mags what do you guys use ? and preferences? What kind of carry case did you guys get in general? Blackhawk has a nice 29" or 32" padded non rifle kinda looking case, anyone get one of those and do you like it . How bout suggestions?

And another thing that people never seem to mention. I imagine your Tavor's got a sidekick (meaning what type of pistol do you carry with a (or would) with you rifle? a baby eagle lol or a Desert Eagle?

So let's here it ... I wanna know it all (I'm due to get my Tavor too!...one day ...over the rainbow ...where the yellow brick road lies...or was it at the end of the Rainbow...or in a lucky box of Lucky Charms ....magical delicious !!!! )

So sights,mags.accessories,slings,cleaning kits,front grips,cases, Oh forgot ammo types ( like fav ammo and hated "don't buy that crap ammo" . And anyone sick enough to have bought a 37 mm gren launcher for the Tavor yet? ...got you thinking Hmmmm lol

Looking forward to you reply and my Tavor rifle!!
