Here is the rest of the Face book post. This is more than just a simple 308 Tavor. Looks like they took a long look at the deficiencies and shifted fire where necessary.
TAVOR 7
Yesterday we posted a "teaser" on our new TAVOR 7 and your response has been huge!
Many of you have asked several questions about this new model. We will attempt to answer some of them here:
Specifications:
• Caliber: 7.62 NATO/.308 Win
• Barrel: CHF/CL 1:12 twist with a 16" barrel; 1:10 with 18" barrel
• OAL: 26.75" with 16" barrel (without flash suppressor)
• Weight: 8.6 Lbs.
• Optional calibers & Conversion Kits: TBD
• Colors: Black, FDE and OD Green
Features (muzzle to butt):
• Muzzle threads: 5/8 x 24
• 4 position variable gas regulator (including off)
• Upper forend: 2 MLOK slots at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
• Lower forend: Removable SAR styled forend cover that exposes one integral pic rail at 6 o'clock when removed.
• Charging handle lockable in open position, similar to an MP5.
• Full length one piece Picatinny (Mil-Spec) top rail with integral folding BUIS; Tritium front post.
• Cutlass style grip modifiable to pistol grip with traditional trigger guard; same as X95.
• Short stroke gas piston (unlike our long stroke SAR and X95).
• Uses LR/SR25 magazines and comes with one 20-round Magpul PMAG with window (in states without capacity restrictions; 10 round for restricted states).
• Bolt release is Tavor SAR style along centerline or release from MP5 style charging handle
• Fire control group is not interchangeable with SAR or X95.
Ambidextrous Features:
• Ambidextrous bolt; no opposite hand bolt needed for conversion to opposite hand operation. No need to return the gun to IWI US for opposite hand conversion and head space checking.
• Ambidextrous (all the time) magazine release position like our X95, similar to an AR-15.
• Ambidextrous charging handle with push through receiver functionality. No need for tools or any disassembly.
• Ambidextrous (all the time) safety selector with a 45 degree rotation (unlike 90 degrees on our SAR and X95).
• Ambidextrous (all the time) bolt release behind magazine; similar to the Tavor SAR.
• Ejection port covers are user configurable in the field with a simple slide of the case deflector.
Launch Date: First shipments projected to start in January, 2018.
Price: TBD

Thanks for the info ^^^
Many will be bummed by this, as current Tavor / X95 won't be able to swap in their Giesele or Shooting Sight triggers ... "Fire control group is not interchangeable with SAR or X95"
I guess the shorter stroke piston helps accuracy, at the theoretical trade off of less vigorous / reliable function. Presumably the adjustable gas flow is the answer for dealing with that.

I'm aware of their last ditch pass out to every last woman and child stockpiles of WWII small arms, Commie AKs, etc., I was inquiring if the IDF has fielded the Tavor in that caliber and was wondering what role it fills for them.
On a side note, when I happened upon the new IMI/IWI polymer 7.62 NATO mags a year ago I was wondering what weapon system in their arsenal they created the mags for, perhaps it was thought up for the new Tavor, the Galil ACE, or both?

They've been out a little while.
I started a thread on those here:

A 308 cal bulpup sounds very snappy in the recoil department.
