the Americans are really taking a liking to their Tavors. I can assure you it won't be long before there is a whole drop in trigger kit available for the US version. I know of two companies all ready working on it as they think demand will be high.

Maybe he should've kept his day job...
It may not be compatible with the Canadian version (TV has had a look at both receivers and could probably say for certain).
He had reached an awkward crossroads where he would have been promoted to behind a desk in a roll where he would of had to deal with politics that he did not agree with.
If that's the case then a Canadian company would probably step up an do a trigger kit for our version at some point.
I'm started to become interested in the Tavor, although I'd probably prefer a nonrestricted X95 if they become available.
At this point however it's anyone's guess what trigger mechanism the X95 will use and if they'll even "need" a aftermarket trigger.
Just did the suggested trigger job in the video (bend hammer spring + mirror polish hammer/sear contact surfaces)... however, I decided to add a little "twist" to the equation based on the secondary return spring removal suggestions.
Not wanting to lose the added "bonus" of that secondary return spring and yet wanting to further benefit from a lighter trigger pull, I took the spring off one end and stretched it ever so slightly with a pair of long nose pliers to reduce it's pull. Since the spring stretched a bit further than I initially intended it to, I had to pinch the metal o-ring onto the trigger release in order to make it sit there permanently without the metal o-ring sliding off the notch when the pressure is off (in other words, I pinched the o-ring oval instead of round, which worked perfectly).
Now the trigger feels much better and all it has cost was 20 minutes of my time (unfortunately, I don't have a scale to measure the new trigger pull). Tools needed were 2 punches for the small/large hammer pins, a small hammer, 600 grit sand paper and a pair of needle nose pliers... and gun oil to lube everything when done, of course.
Hard to believe that 'Yoda' in the video (the gunsmith) charges $75 USD for the work. Should be a $25 job, plus return shipping.... lol!
Edit: Ok, I took some pics of mine with some descriptions to help you guys visualize it better:
Note: To disassemble trigger assembly to perform job, first draw out "pin 1" with a small punch or small nail, then proceed to drawing out "pin 2" with a larger punch. Be advised that "pin 1" only comes out from the front of the hammer (rear of hammer is pictured in above photo)

Has anyone taken a look at the trigger bar where it attaches to the trigger? I'd love to see a picture of the connection. I've seen a few people use mothers metal polish on other firearms where they'll polish the bar and both connection points to reduce friction and smooth out the trigger pull. Not knowing the internals of the Tavor, would it help?
FYI.. started a new thread with a copy & paste of my previous post.
