Tavor FAQ (updated 08 December, 2008)

[npbra]

Load your magazines to 4 rounds and the pistol magazines to 9. That will probably solve most of your problems.

Thanks, I'll try that.

yes.
the Mesa tactical quick release sling mount for remington 870 will work on the Tavor.
DS Tactical carries them in New West ( push button swing swivel mount for 870)

Thanks for the tip PBR. I bought mine from the US for a good price.

Anybody have luck removing the birdcage??

Anybody have luck removing the birdcage??

yup.

you need 2 wrenches to do it properly.

Oh I tried......she didnt wanna budge. Maybe I should shoot it a bit first and loosen her up?

that would be the XCR your referring to, Tavors don't get loose with shooting

a vice and 2 wrenches should be all you need, are you torquing in the right direction? (not trying to be an A-hole)

the birdcage on the Tavor is a 2 piece and you need to wrench both in opposite directions..

Just test fired it. 100+ rounds. Pmags, D&W metal mags. LAR 15 mags, Lancer mags.

All worked 100%, no issues at all

What I found about this rifle? Pretty nice group! From a cold barrel esp. Not AS good maybe as my AR. But I couldnt tell the different.

The trigger is literally trash. But Id rather shoot lots and see if it lightens up before I start disconnecting safety springs.

And no gas blow back like guys were talking about.

Love this gun 100%!

Just a quick head's up: CanadaAmmo is (was?) selling Tavor spare parts kits for $200. Here's what mine included: hand guard, charging handle bracket, gas tube/rear sight assembly and cylinder, trigger, safety selector, charging handle and bolt releases, spare set of factory polymer BUIS (original gen), spare bolt (used, mint) and a wide assortment of tiny metal and polymer parts, pins, bolts, springs and spring buffers.

How long ago was that? I just got on their website and all they have is a spare bolt. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing.

Call them. They don't have it listed on their website.

Have you try calling the distributor?

You could try a WTB ad on the EE. And yes, everything else can be switched - so you just need the LH bolt.

Any of the Pelicans fit nicely. I have a 1700 that's almost perfect.

Question for those that have taken the flash hider off, is it a standard 1/2 x28 thread under there?

Yes, and it requires 2 wrenches to remove.
