[DirtyDigz 1,811]

 

Harrisburg, PA (July 2014) - IWI US, Inc., a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., is pleased to announce the TAVOR® SAR RS models for the states of Massachusetts, Maryland and New Jersey are now shipping to area distributors. The MA, MD and NJ RS models comply with all state statutes and still provides the TAVOR® SAR fan an unprecedented experience in firepower and performance.

 

The model TAVOR® SAR RS (TSB18RS) is built on the 18″ barrel model and features a non-removable 2″ muzzle break that yields an OAL of 30″ and is supplied with a 10-round magazine.

 

The TAVOR® SAR RS model incorporates a full-length MIL-STD Picatinny top rail in addition to the standard short rail mounted at a 45° angle opposite the charging handle. Backup Iron Sights (BUIS) are embedded and spring loaded in the top of the Picatinny rail and the front post contains a Tritium insert on a standard AR thread, fully adjustable for windage and elevation (tool provided). The standard caliber is .223/5.56 NATO. Available in Black only. MSRP is $2,049.00

 

Any NJ dealers here stocking them yet?

Saw those at the SHOT Show. Didn't like that long ass muzzle brake. If I were to buy one, I'd buy a regular one and have my choice of brake installed.

[RecessedFilter 222]

They are really cool and I like that they take AR mags, but damn, 2 grand is just so steep. Worth it I'm sure, but just steep.

I missed a used one in FL for $1500.  ugh.

18" barrel and long muzzle brake negates the benefits of a bullpup. I'll take a chopped barrel that is 16" with the brake

[Blacksmythe 71]

Ouch.... Whats so hard about putting on an attractive break on a 16 in barrel. or no break like a M&P sporter?

[buell508 6]

I wan't one

[remixer 1,645]

The brake does nothing for me

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I'm not a fan of the brake either

That muzzle brake = deal break

I'm not sure about the RS model, but I saw Tavor in Ottomanelli's around February this year.  Certainly NJ-compliant, they can't sell it otherwise.  Both black and FDE.

No idea if they have any now.

Careful. I bought one from there that was completely illegal. Didn't realize it til I got home. Long story. Had a bayonet lug, A2 muzzle device, and 30rd mag with a rivet inserted at 15rds...

Brake doesn't bother me. Looks like a baby can. Like KAC.

 

I don't have bullpups so I haven't given barrel length much concern. The idea is usually to have rifle length barrel in sub-carbine package, not shortest possible. 5.56 is made for a 20" barrel, at some point past 14" you might as well give up and get a PS90. Coming from a guy with 11.5".

That brake is hideous.. It defeats the purpose of the gun... Short is the key. IWI tried to make a compliant model for all states

[SgtToadette 59]

Dear god why did they think throwing that abortion on the barrel was a good idea?

[Sht 3]

I'd say they wanted a over all length of 30" & don't make a barrel long enough to achieve it.

[NEHackettstown 21]

I picked my Tavor up at RTSP in Randolph. Was able to add muzzle brake of my choice.

Nice.  I also like the green color.

[NEHackettstown 21]

Thanks. It's an amazing rifle. I also added the Geisselle trigger pack which makes it even better to shoot.

I bought one there in FDE they changed the brake and pinned and welded it. What else would need to be done?

[mipafox 438]

If this was in my gun budget, I would buy the Jersey version and leave the brake on just to spite you guys because you are so muzzle sensitive in NJ. I think it looks fine. I do not have muzzle envy, and I am secure in my barrel attachments.

That brake is hideous. What's the point of having a bullpup if you're going to make the barrel so long? May as well just get an AR.
