Tavor

[Guest ThePunisher]

The Tavor pre- orders at Copes have gone up in price from $. $1909.99 to $2359.99 since last week

My Bad. They have another pre-order Tavor with an optic for $2359.99. They still have the pre-order Tavor's at $1909.99 Edited December 19, 2012 by ThePunisher

I went ahead and pre-ordered the IDF version(optic) just incase the Bullpup forum group buy doesn't go through

The more I look at a Tavor the more it reminds me of the FS2000 and vice versa.

Nothing alike brother

Closer to the AK or Galil.

I want to see some pictures already.

Pictures will come when I have it in my hands. If.
When I get this thing I can finally change my avatar picture. I've had this picture on here for a looooong time.

I want to see some pictures already.

 

Here are some pics I took at the 2012 Bullpup Shoot that was held Sept 29th-30th at the Rockcastle Shooting Center in Park City, KY. 

Spoke with Michael Kassnar of IWI US ( http://iwi.us/ ).  He was nice, and freely talked about the rifle's development and features.  At that time he said the retail price would be $1,999 with estimated delivery about April.  Of course that was before the current panic.  I assume that more info will be released next week at the SHOT Show.  The optic on the Tavor in the photos is an Aimpoint Micro in a Standard AR mount.  The set up seemed to work well in the very limited amount of dry firing I was allowed to do.  The trigger pull on this example was comparable to a standard AR semi auto trigger.  Mr. Kassnar said that the sling attachment points would be changed to accept the QD-type sling swivels.  Several people (some with expensive looking camera & sound equipment) at the Bullpup Shoot got the chance to fire it (I wasn't so lucky).

 

 

Military Arms Channel on YouTube has a video of the Tavor from the Bullpup Shoot:

Very nice. I was invited but didn't have the time or money. Oleg took some pics for me though:D

It's almost time!!! I've got to put my down payment on the Tavor before the 22nd. I got the email from a group buy on Bullpup forum.com. This is really gonna happen. Happy dance!!!

It's a great commentary on the community we have here that while I'm glad to see this coming to the market, it's not really on my priority list at all.

 

That said, I cannot wait for Paletiger to finally get his hands on his!

[Guest ThePunisher]

Will be grinning when a Tavor is my hands. Can't wait.
