Tavor fever

I havn't checked this year but in last years book it said, and i'm paraphrasing, that "you could use any centerfire rifle in any caliber you wanted as long as you were following the federal firearms laws." So the Tavor/Beowulf combo would be gtg for coyotes. The flip side to it is if you want to go after moose with a .22 Hornet, you're also gtg...

(Before someone chimes in i'll state that yes, i'm well aware there are some county's in south western ontario that have the "No hunting with anything over .275 caliber." rule)

Word. I'm trying to find factory ammo right now loaded with partitions or something like that to drastically decrease the chance of bullet failure. Got any leads? This isn't specifically directed at you cr5. I'll take leads from anyone. :D

I've never seen a factory loaded 223 with a medium to large game bullet but if you handload there are a few options I've heard of. We don't see them in stores in Alberta though since we aren't allowed to hunt with 223 other than coyotes, wolves and gophers. .24 cal and bigger for us :(
That's why I built my 300BLK conversion for my NR ACR, I'll be getting a deer or two with it this fall :D
I have some 125 grain Hornady SST's and 125 grain Nosler Accubonds for the task :)

Thanks! Love supporting local too. I discovered a place called Check Point Charlie, near that address and bought a bunch of great items.
Thanks again.

Anyone able to confirm if these are the "XL" extended ones for the 18" barrel like TV-PressPass'?

I emailed them and am waiting for a response.

I guess I should have looked closer. Was asked if I knew anyone interested since they just got them in so I figured I'd ask on here.
Pretty sure they had FDE and black.

I was too busy BSing and buying my new Fail-Zero nickel boron BCG for my latest 300 Blackout AR build to really worry about parts for a rifle I don't own :)
 
was able to pick up a short rail from http://www.zahal.org/ this morning... They sold out fast...lol

Cant wait to get it, This will complete my Tavor build.

WTF? Is that a 9mm? I've never seen one of those.
I'd like one in 10mm that uses Glock mags :D I might own a Tavor if I could have one.
Maybe I'll start looking to see if I can get a magwell adapter and build another conversion for my ACR :)

Thats the US Sar-21 tavor. They have had 9mm conversion kits for awhile now. I think the 9mm conversion kits I believe work in ours as our Gen 2 tavors have holes for the pins that hold the magwell adapter into the magwell. The mags are Colt 9mm mags.

Someone will have to be first to try and see.

Questipn is if the IWI front sight posts would match up with the GHW short rails height.

You're right, it certainly won't. There's going to be a solid half inch offset. So, if you're only using your BUIS for volley fire, you're good to go.

I watched the GHW video on installing their front sight, and something struck me as interesting: The factory IWI rear BUIS is neither windage nor elevation adjustable. This means the front sight must be both windage and elevation adjustable. Using the Razorback, a standard AR BUIS is used, and most of them are windage adjustable.

So why not dispense with the windage adjustment on the front sight? Then the smooth pin can be re-used, and we don't need the IWI windage detent.

So basically the front sight becomes a 2D shape ideal for water jet cutting. Toss it in the media shaker for a few hours or spiff up the waterjet cut surfaces with some sandpaper, then drill and tap for the front post hole and drill out the hole for the detent. Anodize and install. possibly small washers would be needed to keep the plate thickness down.

If GHW doesn't decide to resume international shipments, that's just what I'll do. I'll piggyback the post when I send some 3/8" 6061 to the waterjet cutters.

After I finger out the height, naturally.
 
Just ordered the GHW front sight post.... I sen them an email saying Zahal didn't have any stock...

So GHW sold one to me, They also said they will not leave us hanging if Zahal doesn't have it. Great people to deal with....

You're killing me, man. You should start selling horseshoes. I suspect you've got a few up your ass!

First, you get a shipping confirmation from Zahal, which I still haven't gotten, then GHW sends you s front sight, which they refused to do for me!

I guess I shouldn't have taken those upskirt photos of those nuns in a past life, or something!
