US made Tavor price announced

+1 Retailers and vendors are also at the mercy of the Distributors that create Monopolies and force everyone to pay these high prices.

Maybe we can have a few more IRUN type of enterprises.....so we can say bye bye to KORTH and R. Nicholls. Who needs guys that set up a system of control to monopolize the flow of goods solely for their profit and not the betterment of the Sport or Industry

LOL!

So they should run their businesses as a charity? You think they should be doing it to help everyone else out?

They charge as much as they can get away with. If sales drop because everyone feels their prices on the product are too high, and they seek out other alternatives that are within a better price point, prices will either fall or they will go out of business. As for IRUN type enterprises (which I have nothing against), there are several disadvantages. Firstly, they are not a Canadian company, they are a U.S. based export company. They don't stock items in Canada. This means that they don't have the same sort of overhead. Second, they are not working within traditional distribution networks. This creates issues if you need warranty work done, because in many cases the Canadian warranty center is not obligated to fix the item for you. Third, look at prices for some of these items in other countries around the world. We have it good.

The funny thing is that IRUN will export the FS2000 for you at around $1800 + export/shipping, but I haven't seen threads going nuts over that.

As for the U.S. made Tavor, I'll wait this one out on the sidelines for a while. I'd like to see how quality compares to the Israeli ones, and I'd like to see what "teething issues" arise from the U.S. manufacture of the rifle, which are really inevitable when you try to reduce manufacturing costs and set up new facilities. I do hope they work out though, although for an extra $700 I can get an Israeli one that I know will be of top notch quality and proven reliability. I could also get that Israeli one today.

I'm stoked about the lighter trigger group!

You're right, having a gun that you know has the same level of quality as what the IDF is using is part of the appeal. Just like the Swiss Arms story too, "made in USA" just isn't the same, even if you can get one. Unless they can show the same or superior quality.

Possibly because it's just that, an FS2000 :p :stirthepot2:

FS2000 has a better trigger, FN factory barrel and is completely ambidextrous since it ejects forward. The quirks include limited magazine compatibility and restricted access to the chamber to clear any issues. The location of the "toilet seat" is not ideal, as evidenced by a recent catastrophic failure where it exploded in the guy's face (it was a modified SA, so I think this is fairly rare).

How many Tavors are going to be produced in the US if they can't sell them in the US ?

Let's see if they get a new AWB in the next few months. That could be a game changer...
