Man that's a lot of acronyms.
https://lauraburgessmarketing.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/the-highly-anticipated-tavor-x95-from-iwi-us-launches-at-the-2016-shot-show/ |
|
I wonder when it will release. I'll have to get this model for sure.
|
|
|
the trigger guard is about 70% why I never bought the Tavor, with a better forgrip area and a normal pistol grip and trigger guard I'd be very interested but the price??
I can build 2 nice AR rifles for that?? I'd jump at $1,200.00 |
|
Looks good, but I'll hold out for the factory SBR.
And guys, FYI MSRP on the regular Tavor SAR is already $1999, this price on the X95 is nothing new or higher. Street price will end up being similar to the Tavor SAR, about $1,500-$1,700. |

You can build two ARs, but you still wouldn't have an X95 |

I've never seen a tavor under $1,800.00 in my neck of the woods and 1,749.00 on GB but all dealers charge more for transfers on guns they don't sell so back to $1,800.00

Maybe I'll find a deal on a used sar from someone wanting upgrade?? |

If it actually looks like the picture on that site I will probably end up owning one, however, I have a feeling that the one on that site is actually the SBR version isn't it?
ETA: It looks like the pictured rifle may be the 16.5" 5.56mm version in which case I want it!! |
|
Great now I'm excited! This along with the mdr. If I can get one for the same price as my tavor $1535 (eventually) that would be sweet.
|
|
The only reason I sold my Tavor was I hated the mag release, I WILL be ordering an X95 as soon as they are available.
|
|
I prefer the looks of the TAR-21 "classic" model myself, but hey, more choices in the bullpup world is more betterer!
|
|
I hope it is lighter and has the shorter LOP (the biggest drawbacks to the SAR). I'm hoping something can be done about that recoil pad. Looks fatter than the original X95.
And yeah. This is a perfect SBR candidate. Wonder if it's worth it to buy it now and form 1 before 41P |
|
So the photo looks like instead of having the regular SBR x95 body with just a longer barrel they made some changes... Looks like to keep it 26.1 OAL and 16.1 barrel length, they doubled the tri-rail handguard length and added a rubber butt pad about an inch thick... I'll wait and see but was really hoping for just an unmodified semi x95 factory SBR or just needing to chop the barrel.
|
|
IWI modified the original trigger pack on the Tavor to allow for commonality between models. My bet is the X95 uses the same Trigger pack as the latest Tavors.

I imagine a butt pad is an easy enough swap, should you want to SBR it. Hopefully handguard options will follow. But as it stands, I like the picture better than what I have previously seen of the existing x95. |

Being 6' 6" tall I was hoping for a smaller version of the Tavor but still large enough that I could easily use it so this is a winner for me. Also, not having to SBR it makes it a HUGE win as I have enough SBR's as is.
Does anyone know the OAL of the X95 w/ a 16.5" barrel vs say an AR-15 w/ a 11.5" barrel? |
|
The 6933 is 28.3 inches with the stock collapsed. With a can mount and the stock out for use about 30".
|
|
This is a seriously tempting gun if just for the mag release.

View Quote I have a standard 16" Tavor rifle and a SBR AR-15 with a 12" barrel. When standing side by side, the Tavor is about a 1/2" shorter than my SBR with the AR stock all the way collapsed.. If the X95 is smaller, it would only be shorter than that. |

Someday I will own one |

The Tavor is already like 1/4" over the legal minimum of 26". |

Any info about the weight? After upgrading the trigger and bow, my only remaining complaint about my Tavor is that it's heavier than it needs to be.

Not a fan of the extended forearm and thick butt pad. I think a pinned 14.5" (or whatever length this would take) barrel with the original X95 shorter frame would be the ticket for anyone not SBRing it
|
|
I'm not a fan of any of the changes I see so far other than the weight savings.
|
|
|
Unless I see both models next to one another, I fail to understand what all the excitement is about.
|
|
Is height over bore still the same? Will current aftermarket accessories fit on the x95?

I know this is kind of far-fetched but wouldn't it be cool if they made the real X95 a semi auto pistol. The design of the AR15 did not stop it from being a legal pistol so why should the tavor design stop it from being a pistol also? Remove the butt stock pad and install a strap for a stabilizer brace.
|
|
Glad I didn't buy the tavor I saw locally....
Too bad the barrel isn't free floating.... |

No tech specs are given. Most likely the 26.38" length quoted includes the ~1.3" extra of the flash hider, which is NOT counted in the NFA-26" configuration (unless permanently attached). So 26.38" - 1.3" + 1" thick butt pad = 26" |

I wonder if the geissle trigger pack and trigger will fit in this new gun??
|
|
I think I like the old Tavor better.
Wonder if they will come down in price once the x95 hits the shelves? |

The weight is what I will be watching. If this come in significantly lighter that the Tavor, I will be onboard. If not, I don't see much of a reason to upgrade, unless they do a factory SBR version.
|
|
Aside from the fact that it doesn't look like an Israeli X95 service rifle, it's pretty sweet.
I hope they make SBR versions that retain the aesthetics of the real deal. |

Another poster after me noted that the original weight a prior poster posted was for the Israeli service rifle which is significantly smaller, so there may be no weight difference at all. We'll just have to wait and see. |

Any idea if they ditched the jam nut behind the flash hider? Hopefully it now has regular length AR threads for suppressor use.
