Tavor bullpup slated for release this year in USA

**Larry Vickers** · 01-22-12, 00:27

Guys I want to bring everybody up to speed on the latest on the efforts on making a semi auto Tavor a reality here in the USA- I spoke to Michael Kassnar at SHOT 2012 and not only did he have a semi auto sales sample of the Tavor but he had a game plan to make it a reality this year - he is moving forward aggressively and is doing his best to make this rifle available to the buying public as soon as possible

Michael Kassnar has a very good reputation in the firearms industry and has a track record of importing some very rare and desirable military style rifles ( KBI SVD's and Hungarian AKM's) - obviously those items were imported pre ban and the game has changed since then but he understands the challenges involved and is committed to the task at hand

The best way to support him is to reach out to him and let him know you are interested in buying a Tavor when he has them available- his email address is listed below

You may ask why do I care about another new bullpup - the answer is simple; it is called exercising your second amendment rights and the more proficient you become with weapons like the Tavor or the AK or the FAL or the AUG the better you are with all small arms

I will present my firearms industry background as proof positive

Contact Michael at m.kassnar@transworldarms.com

As a guy who has carried an AUG and found the benefits of a bull-pup design useful and who tries to shoot and be familiar with dissimilar weapons platforms, I look forward to the Tavor coming to market.

Mr. Vickers, thank you for the information. I purchased a pair of lower receivers from Charles Daly Defense, and found Mr. Kassnar to be an excellent person to work with.

Best wishes for you with the upcoming season of Tac TV.

My Uzi NEEDS a Tavor.

The Tavor is an amazing piece of engineering, and I am very excited about the semi auto 16 inch guns that Michael Kassnar is working on with IWI... Internally they are very different from the Canadian guns, where they only had to replace the full auto selector with a semi one, and then put them on the market. By all accounts this new IWI semi design not only met, but exceeded, all of the NFA branches requirements...

Congratulations again to Mike for pulling off what others said could not be done...
