Avi 12 Posted June 19, 2013 In my opinion it doesnt look that the new IWI Tavor needs anything done to it to make it NJ legal it accepts a detachable magazine but it doesnt have 2 more of the mentioned features no collapsible stock, the pistol grip is not below the action, the 16 inch model doesnt have a bayo lug, & no grenade launcher the only thing it has is a flash suppresor what says you people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicePants 58 Posted June 19, 2013 I'm guessing the grip WILL count, although feel free to chime in if that's incorrect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 50 Posted June 19, 2013 I was in your boat, but when I started asking around all the FFL's were of the opinion it needed a NJ legal muzzle brake permanently attached. So that's what I did. And I couldn't be happier with it!

Avi 12 Posted June 19, 2013 Blake how much did you pay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 50 Posted June 19, 2013 MSRP of 2k, plus I added a battlecomp to it. Eventually they will be cheaper but not by much. I wanted it in my hot little hands as soon as possible so I didn't mind paying the asking price. I have seen them go for as low as $1800 since my purchase, and I am actually thinking about buying an FDE one if I can find it at that price or lower. The only downer about the rifle is the trigger pull but the rumor is Geisselle is making a drop in for it so I'm not too worried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted June 19, 2013 one could argue the trigger is part of the action of the gun as it is the piece that initiates the firing of the gun.. IMO it counts.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted June 19, 2013 Arguably the trigger is technically below the action of the rifle. I personally wouldn't want to be a test case for it. Pinning a brake is relatively cheap. Btw, there is rumor that somebody made made gene trigger lighter into the 6lb range. Haven't fired the gun yet though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do understand that the trigger is not technically part of the action... so I guess you are right... I just do not know to what point the "action" on the gun stops..I do not know what the inside of that gun even looks like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted June 19, 2013 Regarding the trigger weight: it technically voids the warranty, but there is one spring you can remove from the trigger pack that immediately takes the trigger down to 7lbs or under: http://www.thebangswitch.com/5-minute-tavor-trigger-job/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dizuRNL0HIs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane45 807 Posted June 19, 2013 With it removed it feels like a normal mil trigger instead of stupid heavy and mushy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevsAdvocate 112 Posted June 19, 2013 one could argue the trigger is part of the action of the gun as it is the piece that initiates the firing of the gun.. IMO it counts.. Negative: the "action" is typically described as the mechanism which initiates the primer... aka, the bolt, firing pin, and hammer assembly. There is also prior precedent with respect to the FS2000 and MSAR/AUG clones... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A. semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following: a folding or telescoping stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a bayonet mount; a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and a grenade launcher; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladtepes 1,060 Posted June 23, 2013 Why then do we Pin and Weld?? because an unpinned brake meets the criteria of threaded barrel under the heading flash hider or threaded barrel... the following feature is an "evil feature" a flash hider or a threaded barrel capable of accepting one... meaning if it meets at least one of these qualifiers then it is an "evil feature" I am definitely not a lawyer... it is just the way I read it as they are all separated into line items..

I tend to err heavily on the side of caution when it comes to that stuff...Expecting Most NJ Prosecutors to act in a reasonable/educated manner on firearms issues is a losing proposition IMO.

quikz 34 Posted June 23, 2013 I have seen bth the civilianised FS2000 and the 16" bbl P90 for sale in NJ, w neutered mags both. Was like $1900 for the FS and $1300 for the other, bout 2 yrs ago. The Tavor should be fine, if neutered a tad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted June 23, 2013 I'll give you a dollar if you let me touch it. Don't think I've ever even seen one. Need to convince one of my wealthy friends to buy one so I can shoot it. It can't possibly be complete crap. There has to be something to it unless the Jews pulled a fast one on IMI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deerpark 83 Posted June 28, 2013 Like so many others, I wanted this rifle. Until I held it. Damn is it heavy. I was disappoint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane45 807 Posted June 28, 2013 I think the weight is deceptive. Because everythig is rearword, when you first hold it, its torquing to the rear making it feel heavy. But when you get into a shooting position, the weight vanishes because its all up against your shoulder making it feel light and maneuverable. Would I have preferred it weighed a little less, sure. I like my rifles to be about 8lbs including my optics etc etc.But itsnot horribly heav. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
