Very informative. Thanks for the post.

Its far easier to show in a short video than trying to explain it.

Thanks for doing that for us!

Nice, thanks!  I was waiting for someone to figure out a simple way to take this apart.

Thank you.

Edit, I read it as firing pin spring, my bad.

That's even easier to remove.......

Things that make you say Hmmmmmm.

Thank you for the info!!

It's not a secret.

I just think it's something most tavor owners will never need or want to do.


IMO the only real reason to do it is to replace the spring. And most shooters will never wear it out.
Or maybe shooting suppressed a lot. Does it get dirtier in there? Normally it doesn't. Just a couple sprays of one shot or similar and done.

Given the ease of doing something especially without requiring special tools or knowledge makes it something to keep in mind.
It may not be for everyone but the knowledge is passed along for people to use, IF desired.

I shoot suppressed and it collects more gas and crud in the weapon. That is easy to deal with but when my gun takes a swim or gets soaked with water I like to tear it down and dry and re-lube everything.
I hated leaving the recoil spring assembly intact and it always bugged me that there had to be an easy way to break it down.

A lot of AK shooters may have never taken their recoil spring assemble apart either but it too is so simple to do a person is either lazy or does not know it comes apart.
Sometimes just squirting liquid in something to clean it is not always the "best" way to do it.

Thanks for the post!  I took mine down per the video, cleaned things up a bit and my Tavor is good to go.  I've put over 2K rounds through mine and some of the parts were kind of gunked up, though the rifle functioned perfectly.  I'll do this level of disassembly every thousand rounds or so from now on.

Its MUCH easier to clean and lube taken apart.
That includes the cavity inside the carrier.
