Are these sought after? being restricted and all?
Kinda want one but don't want to be stuck if I want to switch it up in the future.
 
They will definitely have a lower resale value so it has to be a steal. The NR version is oh-so-close to the shorter R-rated version. No contest.
 
We like em. ;)

I don't see why. I sure wouldn't want to go through the hassle of registering it every time you swap in the short barrel then having it verified and made non restricted when you swap back and want to go out on private or crown land.
It isn't really all that much work but the CFO isn't exactly quick when it comes to making things non restricted even if it's on a rifle that has been non restricted in the past. My ACR took quite a while for the paperwork to go through when I had it made non restricted. The paperwork took a day then the CFO took weeks.
If I wanted a restricted and non restricted Tavor I would just buy both.

Yea... but the farm doesn't pay 6 figs net. Gross before expenses it sure in the hell does. If you want to carry the expenses for one year I will buy one for you and myself!

It helps if you have a verifier nearby who's on the ball. But yeah, it's definitely not a "weekend thing" but more of a "once a year" thing.
 
Thanks for the replies dudes.
I have a bad habit of buying/trying/selling firearms at modest losses. I can't afford to keep them all :)
I would be using it for CQB competition within 80 yards with a Leupold 1-4 setup I have (optic and mount are 12 ounces).
I'm expecting the extra 3" of barrel length to be moot within 100 yards.

I've been kicking around the idea of a CTAR for a while and I think an $1850 one would go very quickly in the EE. If you did buy and then want to sell you could probably ask a bit more.
 
Did the restricted 9mm on the EE sell? Because that was much more money, for a rare, but similar concept.

You'll find that 3" of difference makes the biggest difference to how you shoulder the rifle and how it balances. Speaking ballistically: I think you'll be fine ;)

When you start trying to shave weight though, the optics make a big difference. I love my Razor 1-6, but its a tank at 25oz. The Razor reddot's only 1.4oz alone, 3oz and change with the mounts.

An ACOG is 9oz but you've got to deal with the eye relief, 12 oz for your variable is pretty darn good.

I wish there was more competition in the fixed 3.5x longer eye-relief world. I'd love a TA-11, but then you're back to 14oz and dropping a chunk of change.

One of the TA33 models is what you want here--I had one on my first FS2000. They're super lightweight (about half a pound for scope and mount), long eye relief (about 3.5") and still 3X magnification with a 30mm objective.

Nice setup.
I'm sure the ACOG is tough as hell.
My mark AR was $350 though. :)

It's easy to forget that the CTAR is still a 15" barrel.
I've shot 14.5" and 16" AR's that shoot darts.
 
I found the 15" CTAR more accurate (consistent a better word?) at 100 yards then the NR model.

Same shooter, same optic, same trigger .... different results.

Only reason I can think of that would make that possible is the U-shape in the handgaurd that rests on the barrel.

Beings the barrel is short it maybe holds it from whipping vs the extra 3.5" whipping? I knoe free float would be ideal and it is possible to remove the "u"
 
Very interesting point.
I'd heard about the barrel contact, but didn't realize that the short version was free floated vs supported.
Thanks for the info.
