There's no top rail on the 9mm barrel assembly. Unless you're running the IDF model, you need to swap the top rail simply so you've got sights to shoot it with. (Although I guess you could get another Mepro 21 with a Tavor mount?)

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.
Second Opinions? Does adding a 9mm barrel to a pre 11/1 Tavor qualify as "manufacturing" a new under-OAL firearm or simply "replacing" an exact length barrel on a pre 11/1 that one legally possesses?
This is no different than swapping a upper on a preban AR lower, so you would be fine...
Also, Aimsurplus has these kits in stock now but no ship to Maryland...
Nothing. All the factory Tavors are < 29" OAL.Well, not to muck it up too much, but any pre-ban upper is over the OAL minimum or it is NFA. So any AR barrel swap is either over the OAL or I have to get the stamp.
With the Tavor, folks are in possession of a rifle that no longer meets the length requirements for purchases and are grandfathered in.
So……….swapping a barrel creates…what?

Now, if you had a post-10/1 purchased Tavor with extended FH and wanted to use the 9mm kit, you'd need to stick something permanently on the 9mm barrel to get the completed gun past 29" OAL.

Tavor does make a MD complaint version that is 30" long....
