Tavor conversion questions

[connhall]

Hey, I got a Tavor TAR-21 off a friend in a package gun deal. Unfortunately, it's set up LH and I'm a righty. I've been looking around for conversions and half the things I read say you can just swap bolts, and the other half say you need a matched barrel/bolt kit. Does anyone have any experience with just swapping bolts?

Change out the bolt is all you need. That's all I did back in the day. Well that and reverse the ejection port cover and switch over the charging handle. Easy peasy.

If you have headspace gauges you can check it for peace of mind but I’ve never heard of one being out of spec. IWI made everything so if they stay in spec they should be interchangeable.

They sell them as matched barrel/bolt sets in the US for liability reasons, but you only really need to swap bolts and change the CH orientation.

That's what I was hoping to hear just wanted to hear it from someone with hands on experience with it! Thanks
