I just received my LHB from SFRC today and was both surprised and disappointed to see that it came completely stripped (no ejector, extractor, or components). If you've seen the kits being sold in the US, they come complete plus a barrel wrench.

This means that you must scavenge all components from your existing bolt. Considering how difficult it is to source broken/lost Tavor parts, this is very concerning. One Tavor owner on CGN has already lost an ejector pin with no ETA on a replacement.

I couldn't find any contact info for North Sylva directly, so I'm posting this in hopes that they can provide bolt parts kits to LHB buyers. Considering the bolt cost $200, this would preferably be free.
 
^haha. That would be me.

With NO response from ANY North Sylva Reps...

Jon! Wake up!

I do feel like I am getting shafted seeing how the bolt came completely STRIPPED! That makes it rather hard to convert it back to a righty for a day if you are letting some new shooters try some real steal (and polymer)!

I need the ejector itself, and the rollpin that holds it in. I also need all the parts necessary to restore my righty bolt back to working order. (Extractor, rubber underneath the extractor, roll pins, a 2nd ejector, ejector spring, the little rod inside of the ejector spring...)

I am loosing precious summer days of shooting with TV and Samson!

Left handed Tavor bolts are shipped out exactly as they are received from the factory. Which is the same way they have always been sold.

The parts required are included on your existing bolt. All you require to remove them is a 1.5mm punch, a small hammer, 5 minutes, and basic mechanical skills.

If users are not comfortable doing the conversion themselves, we would be happy to do it for you at no charge. They can also be requested in a left handed configuration through your dealer when ordering.

If you lose parts, replacements are readily available. Anybody who contacts us has received needed parts very quickly.

Thanks,

The lefty bolt that canada ammo sold me a few years back included the extractor and ejector. They weren't always sold stripped down as you imply. Only cost 200$ to.

I will second this, I picked up one from Can Am as well and it was complete for the same price. I just removed my R/H bolt, installed the L/H and it was ready to play.
 
So OP says US L/hand bolt kits come complete .
Can importer says they come stripped . (But they have lots of replacement parts if you loose one changing them from your R/hand bolt )
I wonder where they got all the replacement parts ? :rolleyes:
lol
 
Don't be accusing NS of stripping the parts from them. The bolts come in factory sealed 5 packs when we get them. Possibly the older ones CanadaAmmo had may have been compelte, I dont know, but that was a while ago. They now come as a stripped bolt. Don't forget there are also Tavors coming to the market on a regular basis and they are almost $500 cheaper per gun since NS started selling them. As we get more Tavor spare parts in well be posting them on the website.

It was a playful jab. I don't think he was being serious and I know I wasn't. I trust North Sylva knows we are just playing around.

I can vouch for that. I contacted them and was redirected to Al Flaherty's (which is fair). Within a week I picked the part up. All the knocks NS gets from us yet they still got a $50 part out with speed.

Fingers crossed. I haven't heard back form my PM yet. Is there a more direct channel of communication? Phone or email?
 
I see no reason for a ONE day left/right swap as it is not a 5 minute job to do so.....
I did one, and it wasn't something you wanna do more then once if you don't love your righty friend that much.
 
Those jabs are considered accusations of wrong doing and are considered libel. I have been warned about those. Careful of what you imply in a dealer forum

True. North Sylva has been pretty good about communication since samson and I took to crying on the forums after I had not got any solid replies from them earlier in the week. They did sound VERY BUSY. (Hopefully trying to figure out where to put crates of T97NSR's)
