T avor Gen 2 -2.5?

I'm not sure about "better" or not, but from the factory, the return assist spring (or whatever it is called) has been removed, so the trigger pull, while still a little heavy, is lighter.

2.5s also sport the new bolt carrier. This whole gen x.x is just kind of a way for us Tavor geeks to denote the differences introduced to the Tavor. The gens are not official terms from IWI or even North Sylva.
In my talks with Jon from North Sylva about updating my noisy old bolt carrier from a gen 2, up to the new smoother quiter bolt carrier from Gen 2.5, Jon recommended against it as he is the only IWI trained armourer in all of Canada meaning only he has the special tools required for complete dissasmbly of the gen 2.5 bolt carrier.

It ends up being about the same as an old trigger pack with the extra return spring removed.

This should be a gen 2.5 model.

Special tools for bolt dissasembly, thats sum bull crap right there.... That would end up costing me too much... lol...
I guess Ill stick with my gen2
Sounds like a monopoly on the maintenence. I would much prefer to do the work myself providing I had the tools for the job.

Be careful. The subject of maintenance when it comes to Tavors is still a touchy one for DILLIGAF. Haha
Don't want him getting all bent out of shape over it.

It is hard to say if they are gen 2.5. Only the importer would know that answer..

Gen 2.5s started coming in mid summer of 2013 with the first FDE models. I would be almost positive its a 2.5 as the gen 2s stopped coming when the 2.5s started coming.
Either way, a quick check of the bolt carrier or triggerpack should reveal all assuming they have not been changed out.

MSRP is now $2500+tax in Canada, they have been coming up on sale more frequently at $2300+tax now days. Depending on where you are from, $2500 Tax in might be a pretty good deal.

Honestly, IDK, I am just going off of what Jon from North Sylva told me. Really cant go wrong with either if you ask me. I am going to get a 2.5 bolt carrier to use regularly with my lefty bolt, and keep the spare righty bolt in the gen 2 carrier for when friends want to try it. Then all I'll have to swap is the full bolt carrier and ejection port which is easy with the use of a GHW FLEx cover.
