Here is the Israeli army Tavor:
[img]http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/assault/tavor/tarbig.gif[/img] Here is the turd-like bastardization that Barrett is releasing under the misnomer "civilian Tavor": [img]http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/assault/tavor/tavor-civi.gif[/img] They look so alike, I can hardly tell the difference. Barrett is scheduled to release this fine piece of craftmanship and ergonomic marvel later this year. [(:|)] |

They do appear to be completely different rifles. Someone please tell me when Barrett really releases the Tavor or drops the price 500$ for whatever that other thing is.

PoliticalScience, yeah it ain't quite the same. But still beats the hell out of a Bushmaster M17.

[(:|)] UGLY. Fails often. Charging handle REALLY SUCKS/ Irons suck. [img]http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/m17s/30-900-sa.jpg[/img] Probably the WORST bullpup I ever shot. |

What the HELL?!?!?! How can Barrett even have the gall to call that hideous thing a Tavor? Who are they kidding?

Well, to be fair, it does fairly closely resemble the supressed version build for their spec ops:
[img]http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/assault/tavor/new-mtar.jpg[/img] But, if they were going to build something that obviously was not going to be supressed, why not make it look like the standard version? Maybe someone will make a barrel shroud for a closer match... Rocko |

I keep a few informal lists regarding firearms - gonna get, would like to get, like it but can't afford to get and don't want.
The Tavor(?) has made it to my don't want to get list. |

I like it, not as well as the original, and probably not enough to spend $1600 on it, but I would say that it is the coolest looking and (probably) best functioning bullpup that will be available to us peons for a while.

As someone who shoots rifles lefty, I can think of at least one reason I like the Tavor better!

Call me crazy, but I like the look of the bastardized civie version better. Doesn't look as 'toy-like' to me. But that's just my 2 Israeli pesos (or whatever they use[:)]).
In the end, the price tag will be high ($2000+ I think I heard), so I won't be too interested. Not to interested in Bullpups, but at that price, I'd find a nice used USR or drop the big bucks for an AUG with a lefty kit of course... |

Thank you, I thought I was the only one who thought that the civvie version looks beter then the origional! I heard $1500. I want to see what they are like when they come out to compare it to the USR, but I'll likley get it anyway, I [b]love[/b] bullpups! |

Civie and Military one both look cool to me. I'd get a civie one if the price was right.

Quoted: We spoke to Barrett about this & ATF has slowed things down. Slowed them down? What are they doing, I thought that it was going to be made here so what can they do. Am I mistaken and is it going to be a 922r gun? Please explain this has me concerned! Thanx in advance for the info. |
