Question about the Tavor, and slam firing?

[DVX]

So I heard recently that slam firing is a thing with the Tavor, if your firing pin doesn't have that spring on it. What is the percentage of that happening, assuming it's true? I know there are a lot of factors, but let's say average use.

Never happened to me. Also never seen it in all the Tavors I've seen in matches.

This is such an outdated issue as to be basically non-existent. The bolts were re-designed waaaay back when this first came up (8 years ago ish), and this only affected the very first batch of TAR-21s when running commercial ammo (from what I recall anything mil-spec worked perfectly fine). There's no reason to run it without the firing pin spring unless you revel at the prospect of an AD.

To my knowledge only non-spring assisted fireing pined Tavors had this issue (early gen 1) and this was on quite a consistant basis with the soft primered civy ammo. As such a free spring assisted fireing pin was supplied to all who bought early.
