For some reason the link didn't copy.
But look for the flat top X95 and you'll see it |

I know it is a silly reason to not like something, but the X95 just doesn't have any visual appeal for me at all.
 It may be the best thing since sliced bread but I don't see myself buying one if it became available.
More for the rest of you! |

Yeah definitely looking forward to the X95.
Factory SBR would be preferred. |

Im guessing that the X95 will have a 17 inch barrel or as thicker buttpad to bring it to legal OAL.

I think the 13" compact version plus a can would be a very fun rig and balanced perfectly. Also aren't these supposed to have a "better" bolt release? |

Also aren't these supposed to have a "better" bolt release? i would actually want a 16" barrel, just easier for my legally, i mean its already short enough, im sure they will offer a 16"/17" factory version but they may also offer a 13" factory sbr version |

What will the price be? (probably more expensive than a tavor) and I'm just not sure it will do more than my tavor to justify that kind of price. Maybe once reviews come I will be forced to reconsider. But for now I like my tavor just fine. |

I know that the bolt carrier group are the same on both. So price shouldn't be too bad. You can find tavors nowadays for 1650. One thing about the x95 i like is that you can change out the pistol grip so you can have a regular trigger guard instead of the full fistguard. |

What's all the fuss, what are the main differences between the 95 and the Tavor? Has it been tested to the extent the Tavor has in the real world? Serious questions by the way as I don't know.

The short X95 is 13 inches. If we get one, I plan to sbr. IWI shouldn't have too much trouble. The X95 shares the bolt carrier group and trigger pack as the regular tavor. The X95 is pretty much the same rifle except the mag release, plastic shell, cocking handle, and railed handguard. |

I was at the Bullpup Convention in Rockcastle last Saturday and had the opportunity to shoot the X95. In addition, I attended the IWI class at the event on changing ejection from right to left. During the Q&A I asked the director of LE sales about the X95. This is his response word for word:
"I can say this, IWI didn't set up a facility in the US to just produce one weapon. As for the X95 we won't see it for civilian sales for quite awhile." When pressed about what we would see he responded. "I will leave that to [Mike] Kassanar, I will say that you will see some new old stuff coming out soon.' This next part is pure speculation by me: I anticipate IWI will announce the release the Galil ACE at SHOT 2015. My previous conversation in 2013 with Mike Kassanar indicated that he was pushing for the .308 version for US sales, this was before the craziness of the "Great Panic" and as such I believe producing and selling 20,000+ Tavors has delayed this. Sales of Tavors are still brisk and as such it doesn't make much sense for IWI to release another Tavor and essentially compete with themselves. The Galil ACE has a lot of demand as well as the ability to round out IWI US offerings with a possible IDF Galil, Galil ACE Nato, Galil ACE 5.56, Galil ACE .308 and finally a Galil ACE SBR. I predict that this is how it will play out. I also predict that they will wait until sales of the Tavor slow down and then release the X95 as essentially the next evolution of that design, thus maximizing the sale of that platform. Many guys who bought the Tavor will probably also buy the X95 and the release of a X95 will generate a lot of interest back into that platform. -Sgt. Mac |

I have a Tavor. It's a good rifle,
but I am holding out for the MDR. That will probably be my next purchase. The MDR has all the benefits of a Tavor, plus M16 style magazine release, truly ambidextrous forward ejection, and a factory crisp trigger, and a reputation for great accuracy. |

Interested to see this as well, but the timing could be from next year to infinity. Same here! A .308 MDR seems way more interesting! |

We know IWI reads this board, so I'm going to come right out and say it. IWI, DO NOT SCREW THIS UP. GIVE US A FACTORY SBR X95. Back to regularly scheduled programming now. Quote HistoryQuoted:
We know IWI reads this board, so I'm going to come right out and say it. IWI, DO NOT SCREW THIS UP. GIVE US A FACTORY SBR X95. Back to regularly scheduled programming now. YES PLEASE DO IT RIGHT. We don't want some half-assed one-size fits all. Offer a true, no-compromise factory SBR for those who don't mind the stamp (there are tons of us these days). Even if they don't sell tens of thousands of factory SBRs, it would be worth it for the goodwill that IWI will earn in the enthusiast community. Quoted:
I would be fine with the non SBR X-95 as long as they get a good supply of 10.5? Inch barrels that i can purchase. That way i can shoot the rifle while i wait for the stamp. No thanks. Too many variables, including but not limited to: 1) Having to wait on shorter barrels to become available (there will inherently be a delay). 2) Much higher cost of buying 2 barrels (factory barrels are never cheap) + any necessary smithing. 3) Having to get the gun engraved. 4) Other possible compromises to the gun to meet minimum overall length requirements. 5) Flash hider would likely have to be pinned on the non-SBR (or even more lengthy barrel which defeats purpose). 6) Miss out on warm & fuzzies of owning a true X95. Here's another pic from IWI website:

I'm still saving for a scar 17. The scar fund was dipped into for my current tavor, haha. I held one and had to buy one the next day. I just don't see that happening with the X95.... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Heres a pic of a X95L by MAC. On the IWI site, it lists the barrel as 16.5 inches. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/8783680011_17048ebe3c_o-660x440.jpg Oh yeah so beautiful. I would definitely prefer the SBR, that thing is positively tiny considering it's a real rifle caliber. If they started selling them, I would write the check today for at least one, possibly two, and two more checks for the $400 of stamps. Here's another pic from MAC of the X95 in FDE: https://www_thebangswitch.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AB3A0904-590x300.jpg Link to article: http://www.thebangswitch.com/on-the-range-with-iwi-x95/ Must be nice

Hahaha, don't get me wrong, I would be eating cheap and living like a pauper for a few months to make up for it, but something like this would be worth it IMO. My last big purchase was a 17. Been wanting a Tavor since it was announced, but I put it off a little while due to the scar acquisition and once the X95 rumors started to crop up I decided I would wait for it instead. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was at the Bullpup Convention in Rockcastle last Saturday and had the opportunity to shoot the X95. In addition, I attended the IWI class at the event on changing ejection from right to left. During the Q&A I asked the director of LE sales about the X95. This is his response word for word: "I can say this, IWI didn't set up a facility in the US to just produce one weapon. As for the X95 we won't see it for civilian sales for quite awhile." When pressed about what we would see he responded. "I will leave that to [Mike] Kassanar, I will say that you will see some new old stuff coming out soon.' This next part is pure speculation by me: I anticipate IWI will announce the release the Galil ACE at SHOT 2015. My previous conversation in 2013 with Mike Kassanar indicated that he was pushing for the .308 version for US sales, this was before the craziness of the "Great Panic" and as such I believe producing and selling 20,000+ Tavors has delayed this. Sales of Tavors are still brisk and as such it doesn't make much sense for IWI to release another Tavor and essentially compete with themselves. The Galil ACE has a lot of demand as well as the ability to round out IWI US offerings with a possible IDF Galil, Galil ACE Nato, Galil ACE 5.56, Galil ACE .308 and finally a Galil ACE SBR. I predict that this is how it will play out. I also predict that they will wait until sales of the Tavor slow down and then release the X95 as essentially the next evolution of that design, thus maximizing the sale of that platform. Many guys who bought the Tavor will probably also buy the X95 and the release of a X95 will generate a lot of interest back into that platform. -Sgt. Mac A while back I spoke to Mr. Kassanar, and he said that the ACE would be coming to the US very soon. They expect to see some LE sales so I am assuming that ACE-N will be the first model out, followed closely or at the same time the ACE .308, and I expect the Galil Sniper will find its way here too. |
