Got mine. Initial impressions, very well built. Trigger is definitely a bit better than a normal Tavor 21, but not by a long shot. Gun balances just the same but feels more robust and slimmer. The color is a REAL IDF OD and not some forest green crap the U.S. got. IWI definitely changed their dye on the polymer and these are spectacularily non flashy and go with OD gear much better. The internals have been hardened which is why they look brownish in photos, makes for a much stronger bolt carrier and bolt. This thing will survive serious abuse and probably doesn't need lube or cleaning at all. Backup sights are a bit wonky but they work and co-witness with any AR mounted scope or red dot. Great package altogether. We definitely got a better gun than the U.S., but shafted in certain ways (Namely the charging handle), but I can live with that.
One point to note, my USED magpul gen 3 mags won't drop free, but newer, less used ones will. All GI or metal mags drop free too.
The gun comes with the soft case, manual, a U.S. made mag (Definitely not junk though) and cleaning kit. Top notch service from Tenda, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few who actually has his hands on the OD versions of these, since they pulled an arm and a leg to source me one.

^ can you show pictures of this brownish hardened internals?
You'll need to take the bolt carrier out, but you can definitely see ALL the steel is hardened. Not sure if this was the case on the Tavor 21's, but it's definitely a nice touch on the X95.

Got my od today too..feels nice... weighs exactly 8pounds 2 oz without a mag ... same as the tar21.... noticed it has 2 ejector " pistons" vs 1 in the tar21 otherwise trigger is much nicer than tar.
" incoming rounds have the right of way "
As to hardened internals, both look the same to me
