Bring it on! Hope you can swap parts.

Been posted before, but still an exciting prospect!

Depends what you mean by parts. A 7.62x51 rifle is a lot bigger so it will have a lot different parts.

want.

that is all.

I would like a 6.8 or 6.5 tavor before a 7.62x51 because I know the big daddy will weigh at least 2 pounds more than the current set up

yeah, but on the upside, you can cancel your gym membership

I would happily. 900 grams would do me a whole lotta good.

Actually the article suggests different caliber using the same magazine configuration, so they are more than likely looking at something similar to a 300blk not a 7.62x51.

Well, no... *take* one. It will give you an excuse to muscle up

Not exactly sure where you read that... it clearly says 7.62 like the bullets used in the MAG (FN MAG)

This lol there was a large debate when I posted this article a month or so back about it being chambered in .300 Blogout. Not sure why it seems so hard to comprehend that it is going to be chambered in 7.62 NATO. ..

Yeah... The IDF barely uses pistols because 9mm are more expensive than 5.56 in Israel. There's no way we would switch to an even more expensive round for widespread use. It's all about what is widely used and readily available for not a lot of money.

Not to mention that for the most part the difference between .300 Blackcats and 7.62x39 is marginal at best given the context of the article.

A tavor I could hunt with? I'd be all over that like stink on a turd.

This I would buy!
