Has anyone here ran steel cased ammo?
I've had no problems so far with American eagle and federal m855 but the steel cased won't feed properly

Tavor is such a huge pain in the ass when it comes to cleaning, You can't even clean the chamber without removing the barrel, it's completely inaccessible to get it properly cleaned, and also the rail/aluminum frame inside the buttstock is hard as hell to get to and lubricate/clean properly and entirely.

If there is one downside to this gun, this is it, accessibility to it's internals is abysmal.

Anybody else agree?
 
Not remotely. It's incredibly easy to take down and clean everything that actually needs cleaning: BCG, feed ramps, barrel and trigger pack.
 
I agree with you Santa.
I heard somewhere that, "benign neglect", is the highest level of cleaning in the Isreali army.

Given you can't clean the end face of the chamber, mine keeps working though.
 
After firing 15,000 rounds with only regular field strip cleaning, the safety got a bit sticky. I finally stripped the whole rifle down and clean it. So the rifle does not need that detailed cleaning. The end face of the chamber will blow clear. The piston will blow clear. Do not forget this is not a precision rifle.
 
Does any one use foaming bore cleaner? With the ARs I just spray powder blast down the gas tube. Could I do the same safely with the Tavor?

If the rifle has been exposed to elements, rain, snow or mud, then you need to completely clean and oil every nook and cranny or metal parts are going to rust. In order to do that, you pretty much need to completely disassemble the entire gun, so it's not necessarily about how many rounds, it's about where you used it and what it was exposed to, so being able to easily disassemble and reach everything is important. Good luck doing that with a Tavor.

In my opinion at least.

I pull out the recoil system and disassemble it. Then I clean everything I can.
I do a complete clean once a year, at which time I disassemble everything.
But I do not use it under severe conditions.

It is a rifle, not previous china. I would be surprised if it could not withstand a bit of mud!
