IMO they are overpriced pieces of junk. Couldn't pay me to own one.
Fanboys gonna fan.
The Israelis live in a constant state of war and this is the weapon they chose to defend themselves with. That is significant, isn't it?
By junk, do you mean they were designed to be "disposable" and easily replaced?
I believe the first polymer firearms in the USA were considered "overpriced junk" too but the value is in the weight reduction, which is a different value from artful metallurgy.
As a polymer battle rifle, what's a fair valuation/selling price--absent the hype?

I'm not a fanboy, but I am curious. What's so bad about the Tavor?
They are a problem searching for a solution just like Gas Piston AR's. You get a shorter package and that's the only advantage over an M4 that the Israelis used before. I have messed with them and I conveyed my opinion, it dosent sit well with you, oh well.
First one the shop got we broke in 10 mins. I don't have pictures. I have no vested interest in the success or failure of the Tavor. I stated a personal opinion as a Gunsmith.
Next, where are the suppliers for replacement parts? Machines break, even one I like. If there are suppliers I will concede this part of my dislike.
Would you buy a car that you cant get parts for?
I smell what you're stepping in.
There's a reason why my gun safe is full of Glocks and ARs. Reliability, parts availability, and a proven track record is extremely important to me.
honestly, this seems like the definition of that hype he was talking aboutThe Israelis live in a constant state of war and this is the weapon they chose to defend themselves with. That is significant, isn't it?
