Israel's Tavor Rifle vs an AUG?

**AuProspector** · 08-08-12, 12:53

Can someone educate me on the difference of the Israeli TAR21 Trevor Rifle to that of the Styer AUG? I just learned about it and it looks a lot like the latter.

I have an AUG built by Sabre Defence but it's not w/o it problems (I hate it's trigger) but it's useful in tight situations.

Thanks

You might get the answer if you post this in the 'other assault rifles' section....

And all this time I have been calling it a Tavor.

i don't think there are much differences aside from the tavor being able to switch sides that brass are ejected from.

get a left handed bolt and you can do that with the AUG too as long as its not in a NATO stock.

...but you can't do it on the fly. Something the nation with extensive combat experience thinks is important.....hmmmmm....I smell a clue somewhere around here.

Are you sure about that? Its my understanding that you have to change bolts.

not sure how to make the video link hot but at the 35 second mark it says as much.

I think it has more to do with the AUG having been a 1977 design and the Tavor being able to build and improve upon the concept. Same way the Israelis took an old Czech SMG and made some useful updates and ended up with an Uzi.

Not to piss in your cherios. BUT I thought we (America) was the nation with the extensive combat experience. Just saying.
