I feel kind of meh about the X95 in non SBR form .... My tavor fits the niche .... Now the SBR version I would be all over
View Quote

This. If I didn't have a Tavor and were in the market is pay the small premium to go X95. As is, I'll wait for the SBR version to give my Tavor a little brother. It's looking more and more like I'll be getting this over an SBRd MDR.

7.14 is great. I thought it was 7 lbs 14 oz... I grew up with the metric system.

Going off your own scale, it weighs 7 lbs 14.65 oz (not 7.14 lbs).  7.9 lbs is correct.

You SOB, that's the only reason I bought it


I called IWI US today to ask about two things, the new grip and trigger guard (I'm not a fan of the Tavor style handguard) and different barrel twists. The rep told me the grip/trigger guard would be available for sale about when the ODG X95 version ships. I have no desire for a 1x7 twist barrel and asked if a 1x8 would be available but sadly he said only 1x7, which sucks because an ODG X95 with that new grip/trigger guard would make my wallet lighter in short order.

He said they're waiting on parts but plan on AT LEAST a month before distributors get them.

I gotta admit--as someone who has played around quite a bit with the "traditional trigger guard" FS2000, I don't understand everyone's obsession about such things on the X95???  Your hand smacks into things if you're nor careful, and I have found that, for a rifle without a magazine functioning as a "brush guard" of sorts on a pistol gripped firearm, that I prefer the Tavor-style loop.



Can someone explain me the love of the other system?
Link Posted: 4/8/2016 11:12:29 PM EDT

I have big hands and the first time I grabbed a tavor my fingers grabbed the handguard.

Immediately did not like it,  do you have things in your life that you don't immediately like? I don't think it's all that peculiar.  

What about your other hand, what brush guard do you use for that? lol

And, by that logic do you think every pistol should have a grip guard on it because a mag doesn't act as a brush guard?

I can tell I'm going to want a VFG on my X95 so I guess I'll need a brush guard for that as well
Link Posted: 4/9/2016 10:23:57 AM EDT

Thank you for clarifying... So it weighs exactly as much as a standard Tavor. Not much of an improvement there. I'll get the x95 when it drops to $1650 shipped, maybe $1700.00 shipped with no cc fee.

On Fri IWI told me that the OD and grip parts are at least a month out, maybe by then I'll decide what to get, the OD X95 or AUG. I do wish they'd let folks order with that grip out of the gate vs aftermarket.

Well played Sir!

Right now the leading factor is suppression. The mfg of my can does not have adapters for the AUG threads, so I'd have to have the barrel rethreaded or the Ratwork adapter (which I'm not a fan of adapters). With the X95, I unscrew the bird cage flash hider, screw on the 1/2x28 Taper Mount and attach the can, easy. The only question is the gas in the face issue which the Tavor is reported to have.

Manticore Arms makes an excellent gasketed port cover that keeps the gas issue way down for the Tavor, my guess is a X95 version will be along shortly.

I agree, InForce lights aren't something you want on a bang around rifle. If you hit them hard, they can crack. I like them simply because of the integrated switch. I *hate* pigtails and remote pressure switches.

Now just so we're all on the same page here.  All those mags drop free while the bolt is locked back?  All my 20 and 30 rd mags (gen II and gen III pmags, lancer) drop free when the bolt is forward, but only the lancer falls out when the bolt is back.

If men are "bothered" by a little gas in the face while shooting a suppressed firearm, they should strongly consider a new hobby, like looking for a new boyfriend.

You're not another one of those guys taking shots at Tavor owners without ever having actually shot one are you?

It is an individual thing because I have 3 rifles now and unless I suppress them I don't notice any gas at all. Suppressed, they are gassy.

In the Tavor's case, the gas port is pretty much next to the shooters face. On rifles like the AUG it's further out on the receiver and is open to air (the Tavors captures the gas in the stock for it to seep out). So yes, the Tavor is naturally more gassy. I can honestly say that I've never had an issue with a non-suppressed Tavor causing me issues. I have never noticed a gas problem. Suppressed, yes -- they are quite gassy and a seal on the off-side port cover is a good idea to avoid some of that gas.

MAC video shows that pmags won't drop free.  da fuq  Only 20rd pmags and usgi.  Not happy about that.
Others are saying they drop for them. It might be something to do with my copy. I will try another rifle once I get a chance.  






Assorted Pmags, lancer, troy and those cheap D&H aluminum mags all drop free in mine.



  I'm starting to think my rifle might be special. I suspect with a little use mine will start dropping them. They're not sticking by much at all, a rattle will cause them to fall free.


I hope that's true because in the economy of motion, you've gained one (mag release simplified) and then lost one (no drop free).  I upgraded to the X95 principally for the release.  Unfortunately, my guess is that a lot of people will watch your video and assume they don't drop free in any x95.  I say this as a huge fan of your channel.

I'll probably be getting a x95 soon.
Either a FDE or OD Green.
How is the FDE color matching on the ones you guys have seen?
Also, how are the guns grouping for the few that have sighted theirs in?

Mine is a darker shade then Magpul FDE

It could very well be a slight imperfection in one of the molds they used.  If it doesn't loosen up from regular loose I'd suggest a light coating of grease on a mag to see you where it is rubbing and then just file it down a hair.

I just discovered brand new PMAGs drop free without issue. It's my old well used ones that don't drop free. I know PMAG's bulge over time if left stored loaded, which I've done many times... So, new out of the wrapper PMAGs drop free, even from a slight angle (not perfectly horizontal) and my old well used ones don't drop free from any angle. If you see someone showing their X95 dropping PMAG's you know they don't use their guns or mags.  j/k

  They say soon, in the next shipment or two I suspect.  We are authorized to convert them to left hand at Copper Custom and have left hand bolts in stock.

If men are "bothered" by a little gas in the face while shooting a suppressed firearm, they should strongly consider a new hobby, like looking for a new boyfriend.

Manticore Arms makes an excellent gasketed port cover that keeps the gas issue way down for the Tavor, my guess is a X95 version will be along shortly.


Right, I've still read a lot of commentary about people that were still bothered with gas even after adding those. I suppose it's an individual thing along with the actual can. With an adj gas block and RTV on the charging handle I am not bothered by gas at all on my AR's.

Funny shit right there.

Great video as always mac. I can't wait for the mdr to release and look forward to another video from you on that platform. I will eventually have at least one of those bullpups in my future. Preferably both

Yep, there were a couple guys who do gun videos that did a review of the rdb. Dunked it in mud etc. They should put the x95 through its paces.
