The Tavor is a fantastic system. And I'm not the only one to think so, there are about a million of them in production somewhere in the world right now.
Other then support hand shooting I personally like it much better then a comparable AR.

I'm still waiting for a way to buy a California legal version...Should have just hid my buddy's in my bag when I went home.
I vote to get away from the Jews vs. Arabs tone and get back to the guns!
Was there really a potential to have this gun imported? Wouldn't it have to have a bunch of Isreali parts replaced with American ones? Or IMI could just start manufacturing them here or license someone else to do it.

From what I understand, Canada has the Tavor. Yes, I know Canada isn't the U.S. but if they get it, we should too...
Money, and negotiations with IWI.
Barrett was initially looking at it, but after trying to deal with IWI, they declined.
Charles Daly got torpedoed, now out of business.
Magnum Research.......most likely lacks the facilities and wherewithal to manufacture the components to make the Tavor US compliant, and doesn't see the cost/benefit to investing the money to do it.
If you were a businessman, and you took a look at the annual sales of, say, the Steyr AUG A3 vs. Colt LE 6920, or a SIG 556 vs. the same Colt, the economics would probably scare you away from investing all that money into what would ultimately be very lackluster sales.

Maybe I'm just jaded because I live in California and therefore cannot own ANY Colt rifle or carbine, but I would much rather own a Tavor over an Aug. If I am not mistaken, there are no bullpups available in CA short of converting a Ruger Mini 14 or 10/.22.
If you go back through the thread and read what the Canadian members are saying, the Tavor is unrestricted up there, whereas AR's are, so for the company importing and selling the Tavor up there, it's economically feasible.
I'd still much rather have one of the IMI Galil Model 386's over the Tavor, and to be honest, if it were a serious use carbine, I'd much rather have a well set up M4.

I had a chance to pick up a Galil in Vegas when I got married this past February...hindsight truly is 20/20. That'll be one one my first acquisitions when I finally leave the oppressive socialist state that is California...
