Let us know if you scored one painkillers. I’ve been in the market for one for a while, especially because it’s suitable for a lefty.

It’s either the Tavor, the RFB-C, or a Garand. I’m edging towards the Tavor because the RFB is difficult to clear if needed (odd design) & the Garand is hit or miss in terms of quality (pitting, gouges in woods, rust, etc.).
 
Sent you a pm to a dealer with a couple instock.

I also want to thank GRAIN who helped me as well. He not only responded within minutes, he also connected me to someone amazing that I was so happy to support but also get what I wanted (just waiting for it in the mail now). I have only been on this site for a few weeks, and I am so addicted to it but people like him make it even better.
 
Congratulations painkillers and kingfierce. Special thanks to Grain for helping out his fellow nut. My wallet is safe for now but I’ve been known to do foolish things, I’m not one to sit still lol.
 
Resurrect!!

Finally scored a Tavor 7 from one of the stocking dealers. Don’t have it in hand yet but I’m already dreaming about upgrades.

To the folks that have had it for a while: how do you like it? Any recommendations for upgrades? What would you do differently?
 
BLK LBL bipod
Rifle scope
Secondary sighting system of your choice
Muzzle device of your choice (I hear the stock one is ineffective and loud as fck.)
Sling
Mags
Ammo
Cleaning stuff.

Thanks Painkillers! Wow, that Blk LBL Bipod is crazy expensive at $600+ USD, I almost regret asking lol.

But it looks so hawt. Buy one, cry once, am I right?

Guess I’m good for almost everything else. Need a muzzle brake, sling point and perhaps more mags. I was also wondering about the trigger, need to see what upgrade options there are. How’s yours?
 
Trigger's mint. Better than the x95.

How is your accuracy? Are you attaining the fabled 1.5 MOA, or do we call "Bull-cr#p" on that particular claim? I've owned a Tavor 7 and never achieved better than 3 MOA 5-round groups with Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr and 175gr ammo. Perhaps I simply couldn't shoot the Tavor 7, although I've never experienced any other firearm that I could not master. The fact that I no longer own one tells you my personal verdict on the platform. Obviously, YMMV and I wish you every success with your Tavor. I'll be sticking with my APC308 until we get our ARs back, then my Colt USA LE-901 will once again stretch its 7.62x51mm sub-MOA legs....

Thanks Bartok5. I’m “jumping the gun” here as I don’t even have the Tavor in hand. Originally, I was attracted to the firearm because I’m a lefty and having a bullpup that doesn’t pose a risk is an exciting proposition. I’m not a fan of looks but I got bit by the 308 bug and went on a shopping spree. 3 Moa is decent; I’m not expecting sub.

Not sure if I’m going manticore or Blk lbl for a handguard. Maybe I’ll keep it stock. Triggers are important to me because I’ve yet to experience a great trigger on a rifle. Everything is “meh’, even CZ. Maybe I don’t know what I’m looking for…

I really do miss the AR. I red your write ups of the raven but I’m holding out for the Conservative win and repeal of the dumb OICs. I promise - day 1 - I’m buying two colts lol!!!

The Raven is a cope-AR until such time as our genuine ARs are freed for use once again. Anyone who doesn't realize that the Raven is dead in the market once the OIC is rescinded is not paying attention. Which is why I have limited my own exposure by sellling off my Platinum Raven in favour of the cheaper "Silver Edition" which is much more in line with Billet AR pricing at ~$1900. Time will tell the tale of the Raven, but if I were Lockhart Tactical I'd be making maximum sales now, while the getting is good....
 
Unless they repeal ARs alllll the way back to non-restricted status, there will be a place for the Raven as a non-restricted crown land and hunting blaster.
If I was doing either of those activities, I'd rather run a Raven with the .308 conversion than a Tavor 7.
Hopefully any repeal would ideally include the 102 clones.

That is precisely what I am expecting to happen with PP's adoption of the Simplified Classification System". AR15's with a Barrel length over 18.5" will be made NR if the system is applied objectively across the board...
