I've decided that the "which is better Aug or Tavor' debate can only be settled by the get both mentality. I just picked up a new FDE 16" Tavor to go with my A3 Aug. It was NIB, but I bought it from an individual. He left out the owner's manual
 . I just printed it off from IWI's site and am trying to familarize myself with it. The first thing I came to was the adjusting the sights section. Was I supposed to get a zeroing wrench too?

Yes, but you don't need it. A screw driver will get windage and the elevation can by done with your fingers.

Nice! Looking forward to your observations between the two rifles. |

I own a A3 and have shot a friend's Tavor.
Both are excellent designs, although I prefer the AUG. AJ |

my zeroing wrench was in my cleaning kit. It looks like this.

I called IWI and they sent me a manual free of charge. IWI had a real person answer the phone and he was very friendly and professional.

I called them twice to ask questions. It was great, a person answered the phones immediately both times, patch me right to CS, and CS was very knowledgeable on my tech questions. Nice.

Yeah, see if you can get a manual as well. Best gun manual ever. Full color diagrams and step by step instructions for just about everything you could want.

But do know tha you don't have to drive out the bolt retaiing pin with a punch as shown in the manual. That's an error. Just be sure to pull the guide rod and recoil spring fully aft and you can free it with your finger. Also, apparently the new manuals come with a flier that shows the firing pin spring retained inside then bolt on disassembly and not coming out with the firing pin. It's best to just leave it in rather than risk screwing it up when removing it. |

And IWI switched back to the non captured firing pin spring because too many people were not reading and removing the captured spring and having problems. Personally I like the captured spring on mine. The spring that came in my parts kit is the non captured type. I called them about it and they confirmed the switch. |
