Replacement Tavor Barrels: Guage of Interest

[onetwentyish]

This post will be a guage of interest in replacement barrels for the Tavor.

I have talked to Jon about barrel pricing, lengths, availability and who is allowed to install them. Here is his answers.

Price: approximately $450-$500 subject to change (was a guestemation by Jon)

Lengths: both NR and CTAR could be made available.

Availability: IWI would need a run of at least 100 barrels for it to be worth while for IWI and North Sylva. NS also doesn't want their money tied up in inventory. Jon said he thinks replacement barrels will probably come some time next year.

Who can change the barrels: NR barrels can be changed by you or Jon. CTAR barrels must be installed by Jon to insure that the rifle gets properly registered.

I'm in for both. I think there's still a 300BLK project to be done!

 

[joe.danay]

What about a heavy barrel option, or would that complicate the refit?

 

[onetwentyish]

That is a good question, one best asked to Jon. I dought it can be done as I don't think IWI produces heavy barrels for the Tavor. That might be HERRON arms thing.

Hmmmmm . Poll shows 8 voters , but there are 10 . Also shows a total of 125%
Very interesting . Skewed results ??

The results are not skewed, it is made so you can mark yourself down for more than 1 selection. The key here is to look at the number of votes, not the %

Pre-order list please. One of those things we might else well pick it up now while we can. I don't want to bother in 5 years trying to source one. Lets make this happen.

What if you don't want to install it? you can buy the NR but not the R even if you have a R license?

I asked a simple question, I can use my head, I was under the imperssion it was a liabilty from injury issue from IWI in regards to the barrels, not a something else..

 

[cmsl333]

when and where

 

[roughcheesena]

i'd just like if i could get some replacement barrels, but possibly also some "dmr" length barrels, like 20 inches or longer to maximize velocity from the .223. The tavor is so compact i wouldn't even mind getting some varmint length barrels.

[sprnks]

Spare NR for me

You should use your head, there is nothing wrong with buying or owning a short barrel!

 

[Lagesek]

I would take one of each

Sorry as to coming off as I bit of a jerk, I sometimes shorten my replies for the internet, to save time and sometimes miss seeing how it can be taken!

Now for the long answer! Yes, I love the idea of the CTAR barrels! But I am just relaying the message and obviously we dont want to draw any more attention to modern sporting rifles at this time, or any time...

I would take a 18.5 heavy barrel in 300BLK, 7.62x39, a 204 ruger would be Nice to

I'd be in for a spare nr barrel. But not if i have to pre-order. I can understand if Jon doesn't want his money tied up in inventory and just the same, i don't want my money tied up in pre-ordering something that i'll have to wait a year on.

Also, (shady speech alert) say you wanted to buy the ctar barrel but do not know if you ever want to install it. You just want to have it. If you ever wanted it installed you could then send it and the Tavor to NS for proper barrel installation and registration. Is it possible to buy a short barrel and not have it installed at NS right away but just shipped to you? Is it legal to do? Seems legal as far as i know but shady as #### and likelly not something NS would want to do. Just curious.
