I spend a fair amount of time behind alot of different triggers - I don't have the libido for a reach around after every shot... I'd settle for a selling price of $249.97 (ala wal-mart), and the trigger and I can keep our relationship all business.

correct me if im wrong but i remember hearing the trigger packs are different between the US models and the Israeli models ? and i thought the trigger packs are even a bit different even between the gen 1 and 3 rifles we get .. I have a early Canam import first ones in Canada would that be a gen 1 ? Really hope this trigger works for mine !
Hah !
Went from a 3+ moa gun to 1.5-2.0 moa gun with handloads... 10 round groups at 100 yards.
The original idf version was designed with a slightly different charging handle and no sight/barrel support, much better accuracy reported out of those apparently. The design was later altered to add durability and aid in stuck case extraction, but sacrificed accuracy.
I suspect 1 moa, five round groups could be coaxed out of it now with a better trigger.

I simply wanted a more accurate, infantry type, non restricted, compact rifle.
Neither the swiss nor the xcr checks all these boxes, I`ve owned both.
Holy Christ! Thank the heavens! Will they work with our version of the tavor or just the american version?

A million dollar question. I wouldn't be jumping up and down with joy just yet, not that I care anyways, standard Tavor trigger seems fine to me.

Got any picture or video to show me what you have done? I am shooting 4-6 MOA right now. I would like to try your way to free float the barrel.

Neither of those are great for accuracy either. Maybe better than a Tavor but definitely not consistent MOA rifles.
The only XCR's I've heard doing close to MOA are when the shooter waits 5 min between shots to let everything cool which is stupid since it's a semi auto battle rifle and if you need to wait 5 min between shots you may as well just buy a single shot and get real accuracy.
My Swiss (now sold) was no sniper rifle either. It was decent but flexed so much that there was a 5 MOA shift when transitioned from the bi-pod to supporting it on the mag or just in front of it. That much flex was definitely not acceptable to me.
The only non restricted semi I've ever shot that can shoot 1 inch at 100yds all day is the HK SL8 and even it needs handloads or a lot of research to find the magic ammo that it likes.
I'm hoping my ACR with it's non restricted barrel will be close but I'm not holding my breath. If it will do 2 MOA consistently I'll be happy.
This is all kinda pointless though, I understand everyone wants their rifle to be as accurate as possible and I'm no different but these are civilian versions of battle rifles, they were never designed to shoot tight groups.
Has anyone had a barrel built for the Tavor from a match grade blank? I think that would be the single best thing someone could do to increase accuracy. Well that and a new trigger. I doubt that simply replacing the trigger will do much to increase accuracy, the ones I have shot had very heavy triggers but they did break consistently so once you get used to it shooting from sandbags should take most of the triggers negative effect out of the equation.
No reason an issued weapon cannot be accurate, pretty much any C7 A2 that I've shot is far more accurate than the Tavor. Personally I'd like a Tavor but I'm not willing to invest in a platform with such mediocre (thats being generous) accuracy. Perhaps these new triggers will change things but I for one will wait and see...
You have to remove the band pinned to the barrel and modify the charging handle, in addition to removing the barrel support "U", to truly free up the barrel.
Just removing the insert from the barrel support helps very marginally, but can actually be worse for accuracy in some situations where you put enough pressure on the forearm to cause contact with the barrel when firing.
It makes the tavor a bit more picky with some ammo, accuracy wise, but will give a 1 moa improvement with stuff it likes.
