Okay...I have a couple of Optics-related Tavor-type questions. I'm hoping that CanAm or somebody else can fill me in.
-CanAm's website lists the Tavor "Picatinny rail" at $299. Is this the adaptor that allows the use other optics in lieu of the included reflex sight?
-If so, what sort of height does this rail sit at? I'd like to have a 1-4X scope (a la Short Dot) on my potential future Tavor.
-Will these "Picatinny rail" items be available for purchase at the same time as the Tavor?
-Do you foresee particular requirements in terms of eye relief for scopes mounted on this rail? I'm thinking that this might be an issue if I attempted to mount a short dot type optic with conventional rings as opposed to a LaRue type mount.
-Once the included reflex sight is taken off of the Tavor, could it be mounted to another rifle? Would this require a particular adaptor? Or is the base of this sight specific to the Tavor?
-Is there a specific accessory needed to mount a rail type accessory on the forward part of the rifle (flashlight/laser/espresso maker), or is it a matter of removing covers that are currently on existing rails?
I understand that this is a brand new product, so I understand that answers might not be available for all of these questions.
If you happen to have tentative ship dates on the Tavors and/or the surplus 7.62 and 5.56 you're bringing in, that'd be great too. I understand if we're still in the "it gets here when it gets here" mode though. After all the eagerness and unhappiness over in the M14S threads, I can understand not wanting to forecast a date if you're not 100% sure that the planets will align to get your container through.
