Where is 'Made In Israel' stamp on my new Tavor barrel?

[cdncowboy]

Is my new Tavor barrel made in Israel and if so where should the barrel stamp be? Most I've seen it should be on the right hand side (when gun is shouldered) just past polymer body... mine doesn't have one there. I haven't pulled the barrel out of the body yet so maybe it is located on barrel somewhere in there?

I guess no Tavor owner knows ?????

I heard they recently opened up a manufacturing facility in the states side. Maybe now it will be made in the usa instead of israel.

Havent seen any Canadian Tavors stamped. Thats a US thing. All Canadian Non-Restricted and CTAR models are made 100% in Israel then all current models imported through North Sylva, Gen 1 and 1.5 were through Canada Ammo.

Every part isn't going to be stamped made in Israel.

Look for the proof marks on the barrel. They should be unique to the mfg.

Look for a Star. I know on my Israeli K98, they used a star as the Israeli proof mark.

Guys, I just had my Barrel off last week, I am fairly certain there are no markings on the barrels... at least none about where it was manufactured.

AFAIK
US tavor are made in Israeli, shipped to US and have the parts switch so they're compliant with 922r (see Military Arms Channel's IWI USA tour)

This is correct, however I am not sure if they show up completely assembled and are then tore down to have some parts replaced, or if theycome not quite complete to have parts added in the US.

I wish i could go to tel aviv and visit the iwi factory. But the wife said no more middle east for us, ever, not even if the pope decides to live there, never ever. So thats that. We don't go east of Greece and we don't go west of Tibet. For us that part of the planet is a big giant black hole, doesn't exist.

Lots of stamps on my barrel. Nothing that says made in Israel though.
