Let's see those Hebrew hammers. What's your set up ?
IwI Tavor. SAR

Darn AAC 51-T flash hider/ mount won't clear the hand guard without milling. Bummer. It was suppose to be my Tavor SD project.
Off to the machineshop.

Mine is just the way it came other then the goofy long flash hider. At some point, I'd like to try out the Meprolite 3x magnifier on it:

 

[erwos]

My pre-ban 18" Tavor. Nothing special, just a Mepro Tru-Dot RDS on the top. I plan on adding an Aimpoint magnifier when the commercial 3x version goes on sale.



And since the picture was in the same folder, here's my AUG A3 NATO with a TA01NSN.

 

[SCARCQB]

Erwos, how do you like that meprolight sight?

Thats on my short list this year. Would you recommend it?

Love that AUG !!!!

I've had the HK for almost 1/4 century and I LOVE it. BUT....I have to say, the Tavor is probably the better rifle. Ask me in 23 years and I can give you a more informed and definitive answer.

It's excellent, and I would highly recommend it.

I guess my only major gripe with the tavor is that it's not a modular rifle like most modern military rifles are. For example I purchased a left handed bolt for 1 when they came out. To replace the bolt you basically have to unbolt the stock from it to gain access to do it. Second is after I had done so I get a immediate e mail and letter from IWI telling me don't fire the gun because of head spacing issues. And I'm to send them the gun because things have to be shimmed to make it work? If it were a AUG I'd never have to do that . Even the MSAR is a simple swap. So in my mind what happens if you have a bolt failure ? Or need to replace 1. Does it require me to send it to the factory for repair? If it were a ar15 or a hk those kind of things can be handled by the guns owner. I love the look and feel of the tavor. But that has always bothered me since then about them.

Any tavor owners with a podium bipod?

You're getting very hung up on the barrel/headspacing issue. Yeah, it's not super-easy like the AR-15, ARX-160, or AUG, albeit ripping our your barrel QD-style is more of a parlor trick than a real necessity. The rest of the Tavor is extremely modular - moreso than the AUG. You can't flip the charging handle on an AUG... you can on a Tavor.

(The HKs are a pain to deal with for headspacing issues, and I was shocked that you'd bring them up as better in that regard.)

Well most HK from the factory are head spaced with the standard rollers. And there for not a issue replacing a bolt assy for headspacing. Now aftermarket is a whole nother can of worms. Maybe I'm just old school. But you can't hardly kill a hk or Aug. The tavor will write it's own history.

When I was talking modular I didn't mean changability of configuration. I meant parts group. I do know the trigger packs are very much that way on them but other components I'm not so sure of ?

Screwing around with different-sized rollers to put an HK into proper headspace isn't my idea of fun, and can get expensive real quick for an end user. Did I mention that the HK will eventually shoot itself out of headspace sooner than you'd probably like? With the Tavor, you've got preset barrel/bolt combos (the carrier isn't the problem), which isn't cheap either, but is pretty foolproof.

And just so we're all clear, I own two roller-locked HK-alikes, so this is a topic of personal interest to me.

The Tavor's body and receiver are the same part, and you need a special wrench to pop the barrel... it's otherwise pretty similar to an AUG.

Tavor podium bipod installed.

Nice.. Where's the grenade launcher? Lol

I can probably install a rail mounted launcher. then a set of wheels to help with the weight.

 

[d33rhunt3r]

Damn it. Now I REALLY want one of these.....ugh damn you $$$$$$

the tavor podium is a nice accessory to the gun. the bipod installs with a simple allen wrench using a clamp and an insert that replaces the pistol grip cap.

the cap is removed by pushing on the two tabs at the same time then pulling the cap downwards. loosen the allen screw and remove the two halves of the podium mounting clamp. slide the podium extension into the grip. the locking tabs will engage. then install the two halves of the clamp and tighten the allen screw.

the legs of the bipod are spring loaded. they deploy by pushing a button on the rear of the podium. you can use the heel of your palm to press on the switch. the legs instantly deploy, with an action similar to a switchblade knife.

construction is mostly polymer and does not add substantial weight or upset the balance of the rifle.

Other than the intolerable length of pull on them thangs, ain't nothin' wrong with what you got thar. Looks fine to me.

Kinda looks like an M1A flash hider.
