I have reliability issues with light strikes on hard-primer milsurp and milspec loads. SA, German DAG, XM80, etc. I’m talking like FTF 50%+ of the time. No issues with commercial or precision ammo though. Blazer, Hornady, PMC, WWB, FGMM… Then if I pull out the firing pin spring, it shoots milsurp stuff just fine 100%… and then I get slam fires on some commercial loads. It’ll double and triple a couple times per mag… sometimes just just dump the whole mag the moment you drop the bolt if everything’s clean and lubed slick. I’m thinking about maybe cutting like 1/3rd to 1/2 off the firing pin spring… maybe that’ll stop the commercial slam fires but give me 100% reliability on the mil stuff. |

The only issues I have is 3-4” vertical POI shift at 100 yards when shooting suppressed. Anyone else notice this? POI shift is common in guns with more slender barrels. Hang a weight off a barrel, it will deflect some. That’s physics. That being said… One thing to check is the shoulder on the Tavor is very small - inadequate by some suppressor manufacturer requirements. And the threads are unusually long because IWI uses a jam nut to secure the hider. If you’re not specifically using a shoulder/washer adapter to get good square mounting then make sure you’re using a suppressor mount that allows indexing off the square muzzle instead of the shoulder.

Sven Manticore Arms I bought some Benelli M4 parts from RX Arms a couple weeks ago so I think they’re still active, but they are a Canadian business with a US presence and the legal atmosphere for rifles in Canuckistan right now is not great. I can imagine they’ve pulled back investment in rifle stuff. |

Google “KBA tavor washer” I just placed an order for a Tavor 7 today. Googled "KBA Tavor Washer" and all I got back was a Washer for the Tavor SAR, which is the smaller caliber rifle, not the 7.62. Is the shoulder washer needed for the 7.62 barrels? |

Might be necessary for some mounts but a dead air keymo worked just fine on mine with nothing more then a couple shims for timing. |

Sven Manticore Arms Can they at least put out some more of those cutlass grips with the finger shelf before they shelf it altogether? Or maybe you guys could buy the mold from them.

Is the shoulder washer needed for the 7.62 barrels? The most important thing is to just install everything and check concentricity. If it’s torqued on and good… it’s good. If you see some concentricity concerns, give that little .037” shoulder some help. My can bore was very eccentric and some rounds were even leaving rub marks on the end cap hole. Switching to a mount that indexed on the muzzle squareness fixed it right up (as likely would have a proper shoulder collar, too). |
