Tavor FAQ (updated 08 December, 2008)

Ah I see. That too bad, I would buy one in an instant if they were available.

Just curious why go through all the trouble of registering it, att's, restricted storage and only being able to shoot it at a range just for a 3.5 inch difference? But it does look ###y!

An example that I can offer you is actually for a red rifle. I purchased a restricted CZ 858 6 years ago over the NR variants simply because I am as much a collector of firearms as I am a shooter. What I mean is that, in my case, I want to own something that most accurately represents the original military version that came from a particular country. (Chrome Lined & 15.5" barrel in this case)
( also own the NR version at this point as well )

Boom! 100% agree:

I didn't even think of that lol definitely makes sense. And it's looks badass !! Lol I guess that's a good enough reason right there. Tv- how long does it take to register it ?
 
Is there a CFC statement somewhere that one could print that classifies the Tar-21 as non-restricted?

There's the fact that it meets neither definitions of restricted or prohibited firearms straight out of the Criminal Code, then the fact that thousands were registered as such before the LGR went away, plus the fact the FRTs for those are still in the FRT tables with a non-restricted classification.
 
Thanks Gimli, I'm aware of that I'm just looking for a printout that I might carry with me while in the bush or truck to show a LEO who might not be aware of these facts.

It wont matter anyways if you have documentation. Street cops dont have access to check frt numbers in their cars. Any documentation you give them will be ignored if the officer is unsure of the status of a tavor. They will seize your tavor and take it to the station where they will get the info they need to make a informed decision.

If your lucky you will only be without your tavor for a few days. If your real lucky you might not get dirty looks or a condescending speech about owning a dangerous "assault rifle" from the officer who gives it back to you.

I just received my Tavor and boy is it a cool rifle!!! I have a couple questions: Should mags drop free? I've tested gen 1 and 2 Pmags and the metal mag that came with it; none of them drop free. Also, when the bolt is locked back, should the charging handle be really loose and move freely, back and forth?
Edit: Watched Hickok45's video on the Tavor and noticed the charging handle moves freely.

You can just slap the charging handle up to the top position and it'll stay there.

I've got a new Tavor too and my mags don't drop free either. I think it's just because it's new and has to be worked in, which is something I'm looking forward to doing. :D

Hehe... looking forward to breaking mine in too. Thanks for the response.
 
I watched TV's YouTube video regarding gen 2 pmags causing problems with the bolt catch. I checked mine and they are causing the same thing. No big deal, will modify my mags. However, I checked my gen 3's along with the USGI mag that came with the Tavor, and they seem to be doing the same thing (with 1 round in mag. With 2+ its fine.) Will this cause any problems? Is it normal to happen with just the 1 round?
