Any plans to offer your hand guard with with M-Lok spec slots? I'm really liking the more monolithic look over some other options. My 18" OD is wanting one. We can if there is a demand. We actually have had not gotten any requests from anyone for us to do M-lok or even Keymod on our Tavor forend products. If there is a big demand for such a thing I guess we can run a batch We just haven't done it because quite honestly no one has been asking, and so far people seem to be buying or ARC LOK equipped forends and are happy with them. 
FYI, the ARC LOK slots on our ARClight forends work not only with our ARC LOK picaitnny rails, but also with Magpul polymer rail segments, and even Impact Weapon Component mount-n-slot accessories. A lot of people don't realize that, but it was intentional. In fact, I guess it is a bit ironic that we can work with Magpul existing product when their own new M-LOK system can't 
You can even mount MOE vertical grips direct to ARC LOK with a very minor modification of the top lugs on the grip (and you can still mount it on Magpul stuff afterwards!) Heck, if you want to start a poll here in the Bullpup subforum or in our Dealer forum asking if people would like to see us do M-LOK or Keymod, I certainly would be interested to see the results...

Wow, I really didn't know I liked OD until I saw these... I almost like it better than FDE. Yes, it really is a Practical and Timeless earth-tone color that you never get tired of. |

IWI US is transitioning to Gen III Pmags on all of our Tavors. Unfortunately, Magpul does not make colors in Gen III. Yes, they do still make colors in Gen II, but Gen II's do not always drop free from the TAVOR SAR. We wanted to switch to Magpul and Gen III was the only solution for us as we insist that mags supplied with Tavors drop free, Quote HistoryQuoted:

Who cares what color it comes stock, a professional cerakote or finish can be had for fairly cheap now and one can customize their look any way they want. If you can afford a tavor, if you can afford a decent optic to put on it you can afford 200-400 custom finish. Mine looks light green with eyes but under camera it looks more grey or tan. Not worried about it though as once I get optic it's going to be handled rough and marked up as this is a battle rifle not a range or target rifle. This gun was meant to be used and abused. Never understood a person's preference to color on a firearm, or aftermarket triggers on a battle rifle, use your money for optics, mags and ammo and learn to use it stock and not worry about the looks completely. You are not going to be driving it down main street picking up chicks.

Getting something in the factory color is just the way to go- even better when you can get accessories that are color matched! ;)

I'm dissapointed that IWI just doesn't use the colored Pmags. It's not like they're not available and it makes for a much nicer package. It probably isn't that bad with the OD since it's so dark looking but the FDE will look wrong after seeing all the FDe ones with FDE mags. I'll use whatever mag I have when I shoot, even the "$5 USGI" because I've never had a problem with those. Just seems like a backwards move to go to all black across the board. But whatever, nobody else seems to care and it won't stop me from buying a colored version when I am ready. It would have just been nice is all. Quote HistoryQuoted:

did the Pmag come with it and did it match good? I have some OD pmags already from an AR build. It looks pretty dark. It came with a black GEN III PMAG That is disappointing. The FDE guns came with FDE mags. I wonder if the switch to Magpul means all colors are getting black now. Magpul has OD and FDE mags so it shouldn't be that hard to have the right color. .....you're disappointed over a mag color? Even thought it' s a windowed PMAG Gen 3 ? Disappointment should be if IWI just jammed a $5.00 GI alum mag in the box and shipped it.... I'm dissapointed that IWI just doesn't use the colored Pmags.

But whatever, nobody else seems to care and it won't stop me from buying a colored version when I am ready. It would have just been nice is all. Just gotta keep in mind that the Gen 3 PMAGS only come in black. Magpul is also fazing out the colored Gen 2 PMAGS. The Gen 3 fits better in the Tavor; it's not as tight as the Gen 2, so it makes sense that IWI would want to stick with the Gen 3. That eliminates any possible color options right there. |
