Midwest Industries Gator Rail for IWI Tavor

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Midwest Industries Gator Rail for IWI Tavor

Posted: 1/12/2015 1:12:04 PM EDT

Midwest Industries is proud to release the Tavor Gator Rail

The newest addition to the Midwest Industries Tavor parts will rise your optic to a much more comfortable and usable height to achieve a natural and easy to obtain sight picture.

The top rail on the Gator is 8.9 inches in length

The top forward section features three M-LOK positions as well as an additional five M-LOK slots per side. (Available in Keymod in about another month)

This rail features two anti Rotation QD sling swivel sockets in locations that allow for comfortable two point sling use in either a left or right handed shooter.

The Gator Rail's extremely light weight design weighs in at only 5.4oz, witch is an ounce lighter
than the factory rail.

Installation is designed to be very easy as this handguard utilizes all of the factory supplied fasteners.

The Gator Rail design gives the front of the Tavor a very smooth flowing appearance that looks
as if it was OEM.

Constructed from 6061 aluminum and Hard Coat Anodized.

100% Made in the USA and backed by our Lifetime Warranty

MSRP $129.95

Very Nice.

What is the height difference compared to the OEM rail?

Posted: 1/13/2015 3:47:44 PM EDT

[#9]

.300 higher than the stock rail.This puts our rail at the same height from the stock to the top of the rail as a AR15. It pulls up and gives you a very natural ,fast and easy to achieve sight picture with all the standard AR height optics.

Damn nice work. This may tip the scales and make me a Tavor owner.

does the extension in front of the rail serve any purpose or is it just aesthetic?

thanks!

The forward portion has MLOK slots . This leaves you the option of mounting lights lasers or anything else you want to.
Thanks
Troy.

Looks good, too bad there isn't a way to incorporate the OEM BUIS back into the rail.

Posted: 1/18/2015 3:44:35 PM EDT

[#16]

Love it! Really complements the style and lines on the Tavor. This will definitely go on my Tavor when I buy it

Posted: 1/18/2015 4:54:59 PM EDT

[#17]

Actually, is there even a way to add BUIS to this?

Posted: 1/18/2015 5:33:24 PM EDT

[#18]

Not everything needs BUIS.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this rail was aimpoint and IR laser/illuminator.

Yeah, this rail looks really nice, but since removal of the factory rail removes the integrated flip-up sights, I'd kinda like to have the ability to add a flip-up iron sight.

Those are sweet but approaching the cost of an additional Tavor outright...

for the love of christ, SOMEONE PLEASE make a normal looking, factory short top rail for the IDF tavor. I am sure many other people would love to have them also.

Someone was supposed to be doing this but I haven't heard anything in months.

Posted: 2/4/2015 10:09:44 AM EDT

[#22]

That would be perfect if you didn't have to lose the factory backup sights.

No, that is far from normal looking.

something like this, or don't make it at all.

Posted: 2/7/2015 8:47:26 PM EDT

Exactly the short rail I wanted with the IDF Tavor. It's also reversible so you can change the eye relief of the optic. But you need to remove the rear BUIS.

BTT. Any news on this MI?

Posted: 2/27/2015 7:43:30 AM EDT

Great to hear been waiting patiently for this to be released.

That is by far the best looking rail option I have seen yet, I have been trying to decide on a way of mounting my TA31F on my new Tavor. This looks like the ticket.
