    Forever ago I read a lot of the Tavor parts were already produced in the USA so that Israel could use American foreign aid dollars to fund the endeavor.

    I have no idea if that is still the case.

    IIRC, Charles Daly confirmed that they were going to import the Tavor, before they went belly-up. Too bad, because this would have been a neat rifle to try out.

    Hopefully who ever picks up CD's machinery and tooling can continue negotiations. But I'm just talking out of my ass here.

    Just bear in mind that a Century Arms "Golani" does not a Galil make.....

    Variable.....I heard the same rumor, but if the parts are being made here, I have no idea who was doing it.

    Incorrect, the FS2000, MSAR and the rifle from Kel-Tec are all available in KA as long as they have a mag-lock. Try scoping out calguns.net

    I'd love to get some trigger time on a Tavor.

    I will say this for them...they sure are light, tight, handy little machines.

    But I would also rather have a well-set up AR, because bullpup mag changes just don't really work for me, and off-shoulder firing makes me nervous as well.

    They do sell up here in Canada but I agree with Templar that this is largely a by-product of the more relaxed regulations surrounding them.

    Also, if you feel that the American gun-buying public is, on average, fairly unsophisticated when it comes to their guns, consider that Canada is several steps behind. So the popularity of a given gun in Canada could mean something, or it could me nothing. Very, very few people run their guns hard up here, particularly black rifles. I would guess (on SWAG principles) maybe a thousand people in the country are giving their carbines a serious workout on a regular basis. So the Tavor's popularity is probably not a good measure of its capabilities.

    I am not running the gun down, just commenting on the dangers of relying on the Canadian market as a tool for evaluating a firearm.
    Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.

    I think what's needed here is not so much a foreign rifle with US made parts. Rather, a US made bullpup rifle with the same improvements applied to it as the new rifles out today like the acr, xcr, scar, etc.

    It's also interesting to note that the Canadians can so far only get the old Tavor design and not the improved Tavor-2/X95.

    Prexis is currently making a clone of the L85 called the PL-85 although with all of the problems that rifle has had, I wouldn't buy one unless I got some serious trigger time on it.

    I have never seen an MSAR or an FS2000 in a Californian gun shop. And I didn't know Kel-Tec made one...isn't everything Kel-Tec crap, or am I thinking about a different company?

    www.calguns.net is your friend. Check out the centerfire rifles part of the board and you will find several threads on bullpup rifles. There is even a bullpup rifle picture thread. Raddlock is the name of the company that makes the mag locks for the MSAR and FS2000.
