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. |

So it weighs 7.9 lbs! It weighs 7.14 lb. Close to a pound more then my MK18 build with T1, light and forgrip. 7.14 is great. I thought it was 7 lbs 14 oz... I grew up with the metric system. |

im the guy that said the standard pistol grip would be inside. I was wrong I appologize 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. Did they indicate the OD model would ship? He said they're waiting on parts but plan on AT LEAST a month before distributors get them. |

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 |
|
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.

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.

If you hit them hard, they can crack. I like them simply because of the integrated switch. I *hate* pigtails and remote pressure switches. |

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? |

I don't think it's an issue with manliness as opposed to the Bullpup design putting your face closer to the gas than there would be with a full size rifle ... 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. |
