Tavor FAQ (updated 08 December, 2008)

[greentips]

Maybe the FAQ should include a running question of when the MARS and short barrel CTAR will come in.

the one in the top right of this photo, it's a coil spring. I do not own a Tavor nor am I a certified Tavor armorer. I am just reporting back what I've seen tested.

thank you, works good.

Small update to include the info provided by Slavex

 

[Slavex]

do I get a deal for letting people know about that CanAm? (pretty please, even if it wasn't me who figured that out)

You don't need a trigger lock. If you're anal and really want to add a "disabling device" then you can use a cable lock or a visualock.

I know it's NON-restricted. but there are situations where a locking device can be mandatory, ex: when displaying it or storing it outside a safe... particularly when you have kids at home.

Yep, that's why I added the part about a "disabling device" to my post. If you're gonna display it I think a Visualock would look the best. You can always paint the bright red part black to blend in.

 

[Axis Denied]

The Tavor is listed as a .223 Remmington on the buttstock, but the manual specifies 5.56x45. I understand many .223 Remmington rifles can handle the hotter 5.56x45, does the Tavor fall under this classification? Does it use the NATO or SAMMI spec'd chamber?

Thanks

THERE ARE A MILLION THREADS ON THIS - can it work....

they most likely listed it as the civilian cartridge because it would be easier to import as a civilian rifle with a civilian cartridge.

So what's the answer for the FAQ thread?

Check your email. The chambers are 5.56, that all IWI makes. They are just marked 223 for the civie market.

Still waiting! I keep checking to see if my credit cardhas been charged. That's a first, wanting to see a charge on the card.

Hope CanAmmo doesn't run outof these babies.

Don't worry, the nice folks at IWI would be happy to make more - no State Department export rules, no Liberal BS - just Capitalism, Israeli style. I guess it's 'cause the Israeli's can spot the difference between a terrorist and a shooting enthusiast. At least some governments aren't run by *sshats.

Tavor Pistol Grip?

It looks like there is a cap on the pistol grip of the Tavor. Has anybody figured out if and how the pistol grip cap comes off. Nothing about it in the on-line manual but it looks like it should detach?? There appears to be 2 little detents on either side of the grip but they don't seem to detach the cap either.

??

 

[DemoDude]

It was a bit of a chore but I managed to remove the cap. I just pushed both detents at the same time. Looks like a little storage space for a couple of batteries. Dont expect to get them if your in a hurry

Cheers

What kind of groups can I expect with this rifle?

With the amount of hype for this rifle I honestly expected a BILLION different review threads for the tavor. So far, i've only seen two and one of which was a reprint of an article in the CSSA magazine.
