You know, if you lot actually wanted to run the guns instead of the back patting masturbation fest you are planning at Abby you could run those guns up to Kamloops for the KTSA Service Rifle shoot, it is only out to 300 yards and those Mepros would kick ass on the steel stages. Plus there are no run downs for those who have some aerobic issues....I'm just sayin':nest::D

Hey B, Do I need one of these???

I've received my tracking # yersterday, my stuff is to be sent monday, it shouldn't be too long to get I believe.
 
Just to let folks know

I dropped by to visit with Chris yesterday and to pick up my rifle. :dancingbanana:

All is proceeding methodically and carefully. Only so many rifles can be processed per day, and this is being done as quickly as possible while maintaining QC in completing registration and shipping requirements. :cool:

So be happy friends, the rifles are on their way ... I saw it happening. :)
 
Thanks so much I have been dying here worrying that it was shipped to wrong person or address. I am off work here mon, tue and wed. Probably won't get too shoot it for like 2 weeks but I am extremely happy to say the least. :) Ok I ordered up a picatinny rail and the bipod and adapter too.

where did you get the rail from?
 
Range report

I took mine shooting today, btw.

The first thing I noticed was that I didn't need to look for my ATT ... off I went with my non restricted rifle. Ah, joy ... :D

The rifle is very good for shooting DT's at ranges under 50 yards. There is some muzzle flip but the bullpup design allows the shooter to very easily keep the muzzle on target and maintain controllability. The rifle was very pleasant to shoot rapid strings with. :)

The furthest distance I shot was 100 yards, and my best 5 shot group was about 2.5". This was with AE 55 grain ammo ... the Remington UMC pretty well sucked for me as it always does, although it seemed ok in the 20-40 yard DT exercises. I know this isn't 'marksman grade shooting' by any means, but then again I have a lot left to learn in that field, so I'm not blaming the rifle. :runaway:

All in all, the rifle functioned well, with no hiccups. The Mepro was used under difficult conditions as I shot from shade into bright sunlight. The dot was still visible at 100 yards but more faded than I would have liked. This is offset by the fact that the system requires no batteries and it's a relative rarity to get sunny conditions on a shooting day here on the coast! Match days are even worse in this regard so I suppose competitive shooters have no worries. ;)

The magazines were pinned a little tight and refused to seat on a closed bolt. I'll give Chris a call and let him know so he can adjust his jig slightly. Most of us have a supply of mags already, so the nice steel "Tavor" marked mags can stay in original condition for the time being. :cool:
 
Pics

Ok, here are some pics. No range pics but the Tavor and some targets ...

I'm at Poco tomorrow/today. not sure on the Abby renewal thing. If I was there I'd do it for you. I might swing by on my way home, but you'll probably be gone by then.

Gotta say, the grip is ugly as hell, but the ass end is pretty cool looking. I can hardly wait to try someones, and will probably order one next year. too many bills right now to cough up for this thing.

You Just have to order the left hand bolt.Originally I was told $50 but the price now is $200.I am going to see how it ejects and then decide if I need to switch the bolt:DMy SL8 is fine ejecting to the right.Doesn't bother me at all so maybe the Tavor will be nice to me also :D

You just ruined my whole day...:mad:

I bought 1000 rounds of 55gr UMC for my TAVOR.

How bad was it???


How bad was your spent brass(dented bad or OK?)...I have progressive press and plan on doing some reloading.

You can always use those rounds for fun shooting..the ideal round would be the 62gr & above.
 
sparrow:( sadly this rifle is not for you as it can only fire eight consecutive mags on full auto before the manufacture recomends alowing the rifle to cool,
If my Mom and Pop were not in town this week I would have been bumming a ride from you. my fat ass can maby handle 300m rundown.
I just made the barrel wrench and got the thing apart, and am only now doing the trigger job, so fall all is good. real test will be at the range, I'll let you know, Tue we should go, the demo night vision unit should arive today and I'll have it for two weeks, my unit is still a month or so away, when I get it I'll bring it by and we can surch your dark bacment for the undead:D
so far the only down side to the T21 is the fact it is a bullpup, but that is also what gives it alot of pluses.
