Too bad it's not actually Maryland legal, since they didn't perma-attach the brake.

Thought the same thing. Will be fun to see what Msp has to say about that. "Oh you made that scary looking thing MD legal? Nnnnnnnnope, try again..."

Yep... saw that too... my guess it will be back to the drawing board for a quick re-release. Wonder how they overlooked the permanent pin?

I tried telling them when they released this at SHOT show about the permanency of the muzzle brake. I actually think ATF is wrong on measuring OAL, but this could make things interesting.

I told them about it flat-out on Facebook. They're in denial, for whatever reason.

I'd rather have the 18.5 inch barrel with a longer flash hider or a 20 inch US DMR version

That's because the guys importing it are hard headed.

it wouldn't look too bad with this!! These are both mounted on a 16" barrel, but you get the idea...

So, will the MD-compliant version have a better trigger?

Good question. I understand there is already good trigger options available; and one company will 'fix' your trigger if you mail it to them.

I've fired a few Tavors on a few occasions now and don't have a problem with the stock issue. It was designed to be used by IDF, so they probably didn't want a performance trigger.

I saw 2 at On Target last week. They had on them what looked like hollow silencers. My first thought was to make it longer for oal.

According to the new law, the OAL Requirement is 29". The 18" tavor is 27 5/8" OAL. I think I'd rather get the 18" and pin/wed a brake that's 1 3/8"-2" long to reach that 29" instead of having a dildo on the end of my barrel.

Yea, don't know why they didn't just use the 18" version and attach a shorter muzzle device to make it compliant?

They probably want to keep things simple and have just one ban-state version that is compliant with many various sets of requirements. Thus, a 30 inch OAL and no bayonet lug (the 18 inch barrel has one).
