Any news on the Tavor?

How can you complain about Tavor price VS others when it even comes with the sight? SIG or whatever you get a plain jane rifle. Plus Tavor is a millspec bullpup not some slapped together civilian junk rifle like the AR180B. And even then CanAm is paying the shipping.

BTW: Just because you're not buying something, dont think anybody cares.
 
I'm going to be utterly frank, I'm a student on a budget, I'm running out of spare internal organs to sell, and I'm going to have to start selling my own pretty soon. What kindof price depreciation are we looking at on these guns? Is it realistic to wait a few years while climbing out of debt, wait for the price to drop, and not expect them to be banned by the anti's before I can get one?? I've already got a big list to complete, and I'm trying to prioritize here. I really like the idea of a non restricted bullpup, and I like the tavor more than the type 97, but sadly, I can't buy them all at once...
 
Move to Iqaluit. Suddenly, you begin having a lot of disposable income, as money is relatively easy to come by up here... and in generous amounts as well.

I want one of these Tavors asap. :D
 
Bullpups, yuck! A shorter rifle with bad ballance, more operator muzzle flash and noise, sometimes left/right issues, worse trigger, bad reloads... Maybe the Israeli army really has lost it's way.

I tend to disagree. :cool: The barrel length is the same so bullpup or conventional set up the signature is going to be the same. Short is good and maneuverable. The balance on these rifles is manageable if used properly with the stock firmly against the shoulder. If it will be shot with the arm extended one will find it very awkward and back heavy.

The IDF isn't some 49cent organization. They have been in conflicts constantly, for over 40 years. They develop their own weapons, they test them and they are proven in real combat. They also design and sell a lot of military hardware. For example Rafael is one of the largest Israeli Defense products manufacturers.

More (Very) likely the US.

But then we would never see them in Canada, and they would cost twice as much. :(


I have a Silly gun noob question...

These are chambered in 5.56 right?
So will commercial .223 work fine in them?
ie...handle the pressures generated by commercial loads.

I can never remember which will work in what rifle and not in another. :redface:
 
.223 is fine! commercial stuff does not reach as high pressures as military ammo I would think. They have lawyers who say "NO! God no!! Don't do that!!" right?

The last time I saw a Steyr AUG for sale over the counter it was $2900. Before anyone jumps in with the legalities, that was in 1991. These 'exotic' firearms are always expensive - Galil's were in the same price bracket. One of the cool things about them is that you don't see them every day.
