Amazing that in this country a 6-10,000 round gun is the best we can do.

The AK-12 is nothing more than an AK-74 with some 1913 rails machined into its components. Yeah, that's some real ground breaking innovation there. So much that the Russian military wouldn't adopt it and it is known to have some significant operating defects. The AK-12 is basically a Tapco fucked AK-74 done on the cheap by a Russian arms maker. I will take the AR/M16 platform any day. It is battlefield proven and has been refined by numerous private enterprises in the US. So youll take a weapon requirin overhaul every 6,000 rounds accordin to SOCOM and heavy amounts of lubricant over a 5.56 AK with 25,000+ parts life requiring little lubricant? If you're using heavy amounts of lube on your AR, you're doing it wrong. 6-8 drops every 500+ rounds is about all you need. And thats something to be proud of? You go right ahead and lube your rifle constantly. Ill stick to one that doesnt shit where it eats and holds lube for 3,000+ rounds...like the AK. Its funny how Russia got it right yet America chose one of the worste systems possible to be a standard issue weapon.... |

Everything I have seen about the Tavor suggests that it is EXACTLY like the SteyrAUG, in that you need a different bolt, and to disassemble it (obviously), to permanently switch it from right to left ejection. Please tell me more about this button that exists on the Tavor.

OK, just forget for a minute the debate over AR vs AK. That's not really the issue.
The real issue here is that all fully auto firearms designed in the U.S. that weren't total crap were designed by individuals. Think John Browning and Eugene Stoner. The Hughes amendment to the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 made development of fully automatic weapons by anyone other than a large corporation with a defense contract illegal. So now the only weapons development in the U.S. is done by large corporations doing design-by-committee based on meeting some government contract and satisfying some shareholders, instead of some guy in his workshop just trying to come up with the best weapon possible with no restrictions on what he can try and no requirements other than what is in his head. |

... The ejection is really only an issue for lefty shooters. Well, obviously - that's THE central issue with bullpups.

Thus my point that the Tavor doesn't really offer anything new over the 1970s design of the AUG. The FN2000 is truly ambidextrous because it has forward ejection, and thus it actually eliminates the main criticism of the bullpup design (but has other problems). Don't get me wrong. I like the Tavor, and I'll probably end up getting one - partly because I am one of the biggest bullpup fans on this site. I just wish people would acknowledge that there's not actually anything new or particularly innovative about the Tavor. It's just an Israeli repackaging of a 70s concepts. |

Pretty sure I've passed 6k on one of my ARs and no sign of a bolt issue. I've never even heard of this BS before. I believe the comment on Mil-Spec being the worst thing to happen to the AR is directed at .gov not allowing improvements in the design and people believing if it isn't exactly mil-spec (a minimum spec), its junk. Things like advanced coatings on the BCGs, or better triggers, stocks, flash hiders, ect. How in the fuck does any of that stuff make the AR more battle proven? I swear some of you guys want to pretend to be Mr. Major League Operator of ARF by dissing on Colts .gov rifles and dissing some other big names in the business at the same time. Do you even own a BCG with an "advanced coating"? I do (NiB-X) it's nothing really that special...I would have just as soon bought a "Mil-Spec" phosphate BCM had it been available. Are you seriously going to sit here on ARF and convince us that BCM and LMT "Mil-spec" bolts are sub-standard junk, because a company called FailZero makes shiny BCG's that don't require any lubricant? The reality is, "Mil-Spec" is pretty damn exceptional quality, and just because you read in a magazine that some SpecOps unit wants something other than .gov issued Colts, then they must be complete shit. |
