Because there IS NO PRONE ISSUE. The person who stated this, said IT LOOKED LIKE there would an issue as one of the reasons he would not buy one. He never tried it.
When I tried it recently, with a 30 round mag, the end of the mags was several inches off the ground.
I'm guessing you're referencing the review of the X95 a new IDF recruit put on M4carbine.net. The author noted that the X95's reliability issues were not, to his knowledge, mirrored in the full-sized Tavor that other soldiers were carrying.
My Tavor didn't seem to run any dirtier than any of my other piston guns. *shrugs*

Did he say $350?
Yes, he quoted $350.
Why would IWI Industries not put in the effort Geissele has to quiet complaints about the Tavor trigger?
Was IWI only focused on keeping the MSRP below $2K, with trigger work costing too much?

Optics. 700
Trigger. 350
A bullpup that averages 2 moa that cost over 3k.....???????

I would say that they had a perfectly acceptable trigger in it that they designed, tested, and found to be reliable. Every gun has an aftermarket. Why doesn't every company make every part for every gun they sell?

Comblock Convert
Sorry no 5.45 conversion that has been shelved for now....
9mm is on deck!
Oh man I want those, wonder if they are shipping yet? Tavor in a pistol caliber would be sooooooooo soft.

Super SCAR trigger costs $325, $350 for a drop in trigger pack is about right (I guess)..
Now i know what I am getting myself for my birthday.
I think as soon as he hears strange noises at hom he goes prone!
The single biggest advantage is the ability to have an SBR without have to go through the rigmarole of acquiring a stamp and all the regulations after with intrastate travel.
Anyways its too late now! I got mine including, an M&M AK, an LWRCI SPR, and a butt load of HKs, Sigs, and Ruger revovlers. Plus a handful of AR lowers to boot. MOM iseone hell of a gun salesman.
Is the 32 round mag proprietary? Obviously no kit comes in MD with one in it...

You can still get a Tavor in MD. Several IPs are selling MD compliant versions. They swap out a longer flash hider to make it >29" long.
And I have played with one, prone is not a problem, even with a FU MOM 30 round mag. I have not tried a 40 rounder.

From the pictures, it looks like a different magazine catch cut. More to the edge of the mag than the Colt. I want to say that it's the same as the Uzi Pro. You can supposedly do this cut and keep it compatible with the original Uzi cut, which the Colt cut has problems with (with the Colt, the upper cut gets caught in the mag release).
That said, the kit is not terribly appealing to me... you've got to swap the rail out from your 5.56x45 barrel, which seems rather annoying to do on a regular basis.
I havent tried taking the barrel out on mine yet but my understanding is you dont need to remove the rail on the 16" model, only tyhe 18" to clear the bayo. That said I hear you, I buy a lot of conversion kits and do very little converting! But 9mm in this would be a spectacular gun (and frankly a very good home defense platform).
What sucks is we now need to meet the 26" rule, or I would have bought a second one and left it in 9mm and used the other stuff for replacement parts.
The 9mm is 17" so its going to need a good 1.5" or so of flashider to be legal on a post "SB281" Tavor.
That said I still have to have this and plan on getting the 18" tavor with its "slightly" longer flashider to maintain compliance if when Duffy's gets an FDE model in and my wallet is fat happen to coincide.
