Tavor FAQ (updated 08 December, 2008)

[El Cid]

Hey CanAm, any progress on the shipping of the replacement bolts?

Got mine yesterday.

 

[CanAm]

Yes, they are going out.

 

[tyc147]

Just recivied the New Bolt from CanAm.
Thank.canAm.

 

[detonator]

So what is the little spring for that is in the bag with the new bolt?

 

[Armedsask]

I'm guessing that little spring is what fixes the whole issue.

 

[detonator]

A fair guess, but where does it go? I installed the new bolt just fine but I don't see anything in the recoiling assembly that even vaguely resembles the little spring they sent with the replacement bolt.

 

[Armedsask]

I'm thinking it goes in with the fire pin, to make it non-floating. Thus no slam fires.

 

[CanAm]

Yes the spring, roughly 10mm is diam goes in the back of the bolt.

 

[detonator]

Is there a diagram of this anywhere?

 

[CanAm]

It is very simple, the spring goes in the end of the bolt.

 

[Armedsask]

The spring is a test, if you can't figure it out, you have to return your Tavor.

 

[bigWhisky]

sell it to me!

Or sell it to me...

 

[bigWhisky]

why the .223 REM stamp?

From the Armorers Manual

but really; WGARFA! firearm is here...

cheers...

 

[bigWhisky]

allready covered the .223

Thanks


CanAm's reply... #34 of this thread...
The chambers are 5.56, that(s) all IWI makes. They are just marked .223 for the civie market.

er... sorry guys... enjoy the ####

 

[mrsmitty]

It is stamped 223 but it is a 5.56 rifle and will handle 5.56.

 

[DASQ]

Wow, I'm surprised how small the dot looks on the MEPRO.

 

[Multicamguy]

Wow! Can't wait to get mine..I've been waiting for over a year now

 

[ecadwallader]

so whats the verdict on removing the little spring in the trigger mech?
Everyone doing it?
seeing problems with it removed?
removing it completely, or jut disconnecting?

 

[DASQ]

Had a chance to handle the Tavor today, Christ the Mepro M21 sight sucks. Canada Ammo is not doing anyone a favour with those poor sights. Tiny little reticle.

Otherwise nice gun though. If I were to buy one, I'd like the pic rail and just not bother with the Mepro.

Actually I really like the M21 sight with the bullseye (aka Eotech) style reticle. The dot is bigger if you are closer to it, and smaller if you go further like the picture. It's perfect at regular viewing distances. Again just like the Eotech.

The only issue with the sight is the washing out when looking into a brightly light area. So far that is the only criticism.

The quick release levers on mine are also better than the arms levers on my Eotech 553.
