    You just won the most ignorant remark award for the SHOT '16 Threads. The x95 Tavor is the official successor to the Tar-21 and was fully designed, produced, and implemented into the IDF years ago. I dont think IWI Isreal has made Tar-21's for the IDF since the x95 came out, but I could be wrong on that.

    The only major differences I can see the US Civilian x95 has is that it has an extended buttpad to keep it over the minimum length of 26" and they extended the front handgaurd to give more grip real estate to hold the rifle, and make the 16.5" barrel fit in better since the original x95 features a 13" barrel.

    Oh, and of course the barrel is longer.

    Is the mag release right by the trigger guard? Push button crossbolt thingy?

    How does the mag release feel like? Is it spongy, or is it easy to press?

    I wonder how this part functions like if the rifle gets a bit of dirt and dust into it.

    Is the barrel free-floating on those?

    So you don't think the mag release was moved to be more appealing to the American market?

    No, that is where the original 95 has it. It would be nice to see this rifle come north, but I fear soon the RCMP and Libs are going to unleash a world of hurt on us with prohib and such of "black guns".
