Just curious. I’m considering either a Tavor or an AUG. Still deliberating.
i’d imagine it’ll be just fine as the 16" is WAY over gassed with a can.
Do we have a good Tavor vs. AUG thread? I didn’t see one in the search.
How much of the barrel could you realistically remove as it is? There is only so much sticking out of the front end anyway.
On a similar thought, wasn’t there talk about IWI bringing in the X95? If you are looking for a shorter Tavor variant(Controls are a little different from my understanding) that could be the ticket since it would likely be most at home SBRed. The downside is IF they ever get them here.
Other than that, I think an SBRed Tavor could be interesting, though I would be one of the ones who would feel that the wouldn’t be worth the cost to get the barrel down an extra inch or two, personally. But, on the flip side, I wouldn’t be against seeing someone else do it and hearing the data and reports on it since it would be an interesting read.
I run mine suppressed with no issues using M4-2000 can.
they have X95 as a SBR, it’s designed to mimic all the controls of an AR15. I have pics of it if you want them.
I imagine IWI will milk every penny it can from the Tavor before it will release the x95, if ever.
they said they came up with the X95 to meet the demands of our military. … their new Galil’s look awesome
I know a few marketing folks at IWI and they’re working on getting the X95 in now. Just submitted some compliant ones to BAFTE last month and they’re planning on offering factory SBR barrels (to replace the 16’’ they’ll come with) if it gets approved.
I was told on the best authority that the X95 would be sold in the U.S. in 2016.
Quite honestly I wish they’d just make Uzis here instead of the 95. Also a 6.8 Tavor would be very nice.
my understanding is they are doing the Uzi’s as well, not just the X95, in addition to the new designed Galil
X95 controls with a 16" barrel and some way to restrict gas for a can would be nice.
add the OSS suppressor and you will be golden…
Anyone have a picture of the new design Tavor? I couldn’t find anything on Google.
If you mean the X95, here’s an example with a factory 16.5" barrel.
The main changes that interest me are the shorter butt plate and AR-style button mag release.
pictures won’t load from my phone, but I will post all that I have soon
UZIs are already in production. Not sure when they’ll be released but it’s happening.
