“We’ve had a ton of requests for this particular caliber as its popularity has grown as a good self-defense round as well as a hunting round,” Michael Kassnar, VP of Sales and Marketing for IWI US explained. “The .300 Blackout is a highly accurate, soft shooting round that is also a very effective hunting round, unlike the lighter more traditional varmint or military calibers. We listened to our customers on Facebook and through our Customer Service Department and this was a round that kept coming up to the top of the wish list. And we listened to our customers express their need for a .300 Blackout rifle that can reliably handle sub-sonic and supersonic loads. The result is an integral gas regulator built into the Tavor barrel that is easily adjustable for sub or supersonic rounds.”

The TAVOR® SAR bullpup configuration offers the short rifle convenience but with a full size rifle’s velocity, energy and accuracy. All of the TAVOR® SAR’s parts are MIL-STD and 100% interchangeable. The 16.5” or 18” .300 Blackout barrel is cold-hammer forged and chrome lined, made from CrMoV steel. The long-stroke gas piston system is also 100% ambidextrous in configuration and operation with an optional opposite hand bolt, and a simple field stripping is all that is needed to quickly and easily break down the TAVOR into two major serviceable subassemblies. MSRP is $ 2,049.00.

The .300 Blackout conversion kit includes a 16.5” or 18” cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel made of CrMoV steel with a 1:7 right hand twist, a headspaced bolt, an A2 flash suppressor and barrel wrench. MSRP is $499.00.​
 
I know Herron arms was working on a 300 kit or full conversion not sure how far along they are with that but hopefully they can do a non restricted conversion kit that would be sweetness and would definitely sell a bunch
 
Here's what I think. And, full disclosure: I might be wrong

I think there is only one model of "long" Tavor barrel.

I think it's unlikely that the Israeli's have a full plant producing 18.6 inch barrels and 18.0 inch barrels side by side. That doesn't make a lot of sense from a manufacturing perspective.

I suspect, that 18" measurement refers to the length of rifling in the barrel.

But in Canada, the official way to measure a barrel is to remove any muzzle device, run a dowel down the barrel till it touches the face of the closed bolt, and measure there, including the chamber. My personal rifle measures 18.9" using this method.

I have to wonder if a long barrel IWI US rifle would produce the exact same measurement with the same method.

Perhaps I'll take a dowel in my carry on luggage to Shot Show next week...

They already do the conversion, you just need to send the gun in to them

Yes, do this!
 
I think you might be right on the money on barrel length measurement. In the US they often list AR15 barrels 16" when they are indeed usually 16.5".
