Hi all,

What should be included in a Tavor field repair kit?
ie
What are some parts that are good to have on hand/ frequently broken?

Cheers

That's a great question man.

I would keep general firearm emergency tools in there firstly: leatherman with decent pliers and a file for one. Extra oil and such.

But if we're talking about a emergency repair kit:

- Firing pin and bolt. Maybe the military free floating one as a backup.

- Replacement bolt hold open device.

- Something you can manipulate the charging handle with in case you damage it punching through cinderblocks with your barrel.

Lets see what else I can think of . . .

Ah! Duct tape, or sealing tape. In case you a) give the gun to a new shooter who sticks their face next to the exhaust. or B) end up doing or damaging something that causes more gas than expected. I could see needing to seal parts of the gun if you had something catastrophic happen with your gas system.

"Stringy things" in case you break your regular sling attachments?

Only in your world...

Replacement tritium for your front sights?

Cool.

I'm going to have to ambush North Sylva and find out what they do on repairs the most.

You should keep $14,000 in case you need to buy a new one

I think it sold. I no longer see the thread...

Charging handle guide rods.

Nothing has broken on mine in years of Service shooting and other fun. Good tough rifle so far.

You mean those "unobtanium" two-point super tacticool urban deployment sling attachments that magically make a used, 5000-rounds Tavor worth $14k?
To maintain reasonnable market value of this awesome setup, I'd suggest the replacement stringy things be made out of flexible diamonds coated in unicorn blood.

Back on topic... I've yet to have any part fail in the field - or fail at all, for that matter. I've got an AR15 tool, compact cleaning kit, sight adjustment tool, mini screwdriver set, bore light, spare bolt and firing pin.
