Hey guys,
I've been shooting my Tavor for the past couple of months, and I've noticed that there is a pretty significant amount of gunpowder residue that comes out of the ejection port straight into my dominant shooting eye. My safety glasses usually take the worst of it, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution or way to reduce this issue. Thanks!
 
its the tavor mark!

I actually dont notice it. But some days I come back from the range with that bad-ass streak under one eye and wonder how it got there.

If its really bothering you (And your gun might shoot different than mine) I'd reccomend safety glasses or maybe repositioning where you sit on the rifle?

I had a buddy out who'd never fired a gun before: loved the Tavor, hated the fabarm, got the gas mark from the rifle and thought the shotgun had given him a bruise!
 
The Tavor eye mark tells you its Nazi killing time :p

Haha, thanks for the advice guys. Don't get me wrong, I love the rifle, just the gas is a little annoying, and especially since neither the Keltec RFB nor the FS2000 seem to have this issue. Argh.
 
I have put around 800~ rds through my Tavor, and not noticed this at all. I might just have my head held in the right spot though. I do notice a huge amount of carbon build-up on my piston head though...
 
some guys put a bit of duck tape over the small gap in the stock seems to help. or, for the gas shoot in a windy area.

ive gotten used to it. every so often il notice my eye watering. but ive never got the "tavor mark" you all speak of lol.
 
I can see little black splatters on my glasses. It doesn't bother me unless I am wearing my Ray Bans, then I worry about leaving that crap eating into the lens or something but it's never happened.

On the two detail strips I have done there were areas inside that don't normally get cleaned covered in carbon. Is this harmful or possibly contributing to the "Tavor mark" problem? The manual says you don't have to detail strip the weapon ever but to clean these spots you do.

This. Holy Crap. I bought a used one and I'm going to have to chisel off the carbon there.
