Other than the restricted barrel length and FA capability, what makes these different than the Israeli ones we get here?
When they make a x39 model, then you're talking!

 

[DILLIGAF]

They would be useless in Restricted form.

 

[norlandgeese]

I want the x95 more.

Bet you once things settle down there and they finally re-supply their own troops, major export lines will open up. Should also be easier to get as Ukraine becomes friendlier with EU/NATO/CAN.

Keep in mind, if they want to be competitive in Western markets, they will have to up their quality and make up the difference with lower currency/labour costs, so ideal situation for gunnutz.

I would love me a CTAR barrel. Anybody know of any CTAR''s in Stock?

 

[sky52]

Price and quality is probably the major difference.

Are they even for sale in Canada?

I agree, have one myself mainly for it's unrestricted status.

Exactly, price. Plus being from that neck of the woods I'd rather have one from there than Israel (or anywhere else).

Canada Ammo brought a few dozen Ctar barrels in back in the day, and last year NS had brought in a few dozen complete rifles. I have a spare NR 18.6" barrel I got off the EE earlier this year so I decided I would like to swap it out for a CTAR 15" barrel.

I think the ukranian ones are chambered in 5.45x39mm

 

[greentips]

I think they are assembled with at least some Israelis parts.

And I will be surprised if IWI does not put a restrictive clause on these TAVOR made under license concerning exporting outside of Ukraine. Maybe in 20 years when the license expires or Ukraine-Israelis relationship turns sour, and Ukraine simply doesn't care to respect any licensing agreement anymore.

 

[CanAm]

My understanding was that they cannot export, per contract.

 

[IM_Lugger]

Im pretty sure they made in Ukraine (not just assembled) as it says made in the Fort plant under license. Makes sense Israelis put a restriction on export tho.

Military versions exist in both 5.56x45 and 5.45x39. Caliber is indicated on the ejection port plug.

Civilian version is in 5.56x45.

The only info I could find was about pistols. And they are made 40% with israeli parts
