IWI / IMI Tavor - Bullpup 5.56 Nato Cal:

The Tavor design is said to be "easily considered more reliable than the M16 / AR15 design".

The IMI Tavor TAR-21.

 

The TAR-21 is designated to be Israels standard issue rifle by the year 2018.

 

 

 

The Tavor being easily field stripped, made from polymer, fully waterproof, technically designed as a tribute to the Russian AK47 long-stroke piston and heavy bolt-carrier - has earned the title 'Glock of rifles' because it does everything that it needs to -and does it reliably.

So that's piston operated, rotating bolt-head to push-out any crap, - and a kit to convert to 9x19mm available - what's to argue about?

- I'm not setting myself-up as any kind of expert here - just attempting to introduce what may well be the ultimate answer to the question " AR15 or AK47? ".

Check-out this video clip:

"Long live the Republic" ! - Now made in America.

Does any Kiwi Importer plan on bringing in some Tavor SARs? - I mean it would be good to stock what is reputed as being THE BEST.

Here's hickok45 doing his  best not to like a Tavor. - Like he says - he has very big hands and is long-limbed and over-height and maybe would be more comfortable with a longer butt-pad! - as it is he is having to bend his elbow to an uncomfortable degree.

And then  Hickok45 even goes to a Chapter 2 follow-up:

Life IS good, - it would be even better if I had a home shooting range as good as Hickok45 does.
