    Hmm, new around these parts but I might be in for one of these rather than a 12.5" AR. Would be nice to save a tax stamp and still get the same over all length with a 16" barrel.

    Ag08, I'd definitely reccomend one of these. The compactness is nice, plus you don't get any of the gas issues that come with shorter ARs. Nice, clean, piston system!

    sadmin: Can you show me an example? Because in my head the charging handle has never been sticky. There are two possibilities to explain what your seeing.

    1. The charging handle does lock in the forward position. Because its non-reciprocating, you don't want it flopping around when the bolt is already closed.

    2. I'm just not man-handling it enough, especially in the early videos. Its the same springiness as an AR charging handle from my experience. Just rack it back to compress the return spring and release. I've had new shooters screw it up by riding the charging handle and having a failure to battery as a result.

    Ahh, that makes sense. It must be the unlocking of the handle movement before pulling it rearward that gives that appearance. I hadnt considered that. Thanks!

    One more question - what is the circular piece behind the optic that is present on the IDF model?

    Cheers

    Oh! Thats your BUIS!! Any non-flattop Tavor comes with a different gas block with a rear back up site that twists up. Just looking through my library I actually don't have any great shots with it flipped up, but here's what it looks like from the shooter's position:

    MSRP is $1999 (regardless of color or RH/LH) and $2599 for the IDF model. The 9mm and 5.45 kit is $899. Dealer pricing is a few hundred less of course.

    They are already up on distributor sites, just not in-stock.

    Is there a difference in price between 16.5 and 18 inch barrels?

    Anyone have experience using steel cased ammo or a suppressor w/the Tavor?

    Any practical experiences good or bad or tips would be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    None shown, all models are shown as the same price (retail and dealer), except for the IDF version which is more expensive.

    I'm down for a 16.5" model, the rep. told me 6-10 months, which doesn't mean anything... Same place took 2yrs to get me a SCAR-17s.

    @schleism: I've never used steel case, but I've used some pretty low grade chinese surplus ammo and had zero problems.

    I don't have any suppressor info yet, but check back in a few months with me and we'll see if there isn't some interesting videos being made

    Curse this damn economy.

    I need about 4 of them. But with my business currently in "duck and cover" mode it's gonna be awhile before I even buy one.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
