Hmm I wonder why all of mine aren't dropping, I literally tried 11 of them (15/20, 15/30, window, no window). I think that I will take Krdshrk's advice and see if I can't order some of the EMAGS midwest is going to be selling later this week. Hopefully that remedies the issue. If Geissele makes a trigger for the Tavor I will stand on line for it lol, I imagine it would make a world of difference. If you are ever down in central jersey let me know and maybe we can meet up at CJRPC to shoot it.

Stuff sells out on there quick as all get out. I got an email from them at 3:50 that they had the FDE Tavor in stock again. Checked website at 3:55, out of stock lol.

I do something similar but with a small piece of paper and a sharpie bc the ammo count is always changing.

Was browsing another forum and came upon this website. I think it is a pretty neat idea, and will definitely help organize ammo storage for anyone who uses cans. http://shop.ammocanmagnets.com/main.sc

Got the Tavor out for a short range trip today, and I wanted to post feedback for those of you thinking about buying one of them. There were only ~80 rds put downrange, but I am going back soon to put it through it's paces in a more thorough fashion. There were no malfunctions using 4 different mags all loaded with 556 55gr xtac. There was 1 15 rd pmag, 1 15rd steel mag, and 2 10 rd steel mags being used. The steel mags all dropped free with no issues. The mag from IWI also dropped free (couldn't take that from the ffl as it wasn't blocked). I tried 11 different Pmags at home and while they all seated just fine they would not drop free, they had to be pulled out. I have not tried any other mags. This isn't a huge issue for me as I have a bunch of steel mags but it would of been nice to have everything drop free. Recoil is almost non existent as is muzzle rise. My rifle has a Battlecomp installed on it, but I doubt that made much of a difference. The rifle does not chuck brass, it shoots out horizontally maybe 3 ft from the rifle. Trigger pull is on the heavy side but not terrible. It is clearly not as crisp as an AR trigger but is not the huge issue people make bullpup triggers out to be. I played around with changing the mags at home and it can be done at least as quickly as an AR when using metal mags (or something else that drops free that I haven't tried yet). Releasing the bolt can be done by racking the charging handle or depressing the lever on the underside of the rifle. The latter option is quite quick when doing a mag change, but is also very awkward when trying to lock the bolt back with no magazine in it (your only option I believe). Accuracy has not yet been determined as a good portion of the rounds were spent horsing around and sighting in the optic (t-1) - also I am also not the best shot in the world. I am planning on getting back out to the range soon to report back on accuracy and providing pics on the various aspects of the rifle as well as cleaning it (which is super easy btw). Overall the rifle is built very well, is rugged, and seems to have had a lot of thought put into the controls. When it is shouldered the rifle is very well balanced and when using a sling with the built in mounts it is a rock solid platform. I am definitely happy with my purchase.

Best of luck! My family had a winter house on Sanibel not too far from where you are going, I have a ton of great memories from being down there. I actually found a bunch of pics of me down there when I was a kid after my parents house got destroyed during Sandy

You still need to buy a lefty bolt. Once you have that, though, all it takes is a bolt swap and installing the deflector on the appropriate side. From what I understand, you can choose which side the charging handle is on independent of what bolt you have in the rifle. It's quite modular in that sense. Thank you for clearing that up. I was going from memory and had my info mixed up. My bad tac turtle.

Called tips it sold yesterday. $1900 plus tax plus nics. He didnt know what kind of brake it had on it.

Vs the SCAR w/ pws brake on it Vs a 14.5 ar w/ pws brake and a 16" ar with battlecomp brake. Tavor has the same battlecomp installed.

Dont quote me but i believe all you need to do is buy a lefty charging handle. I knkw it was built to easily swap back and forth.

After an 18 day nics wait I picked mine up today. Holy crap is this a sweet rifle. Balances amazingly when put against your shoulder and is super compact compared to my ar's and scar. Range report to come soon along with comparison pics vs ar and scar.

Happy for you guys. I just recently waited 10 weeks for my permits, and I know other members have also waited over 3 months for their stuff to go through.

18 days. Submitted 4/23 got back today.

Put me in for the last 2 8" targets on top of the ones I already committed to.

Thanks for the input guys. I am going to get some 00 buck and some slugs from a member who offered to sell some to me, and look into buying a case of target loads like frank rizzo suggested. Like I said in my original post, I am not going to be using this for home defense, so whatever is the most fun taking out water bottles and similar targets at the range will most likely be what I continue to use for ammo lol.

I will take (3) 8" and (1) 12" Please pm me address to send payment to.

I am guessing that in not too long there will be enough concerned citizens to put a class action suit together to try and remedy our current NICS/OGAM issue. I will be happy to sign up for it.

Went thru slight withdrawal today lol.

Welcome to the forum!

I put in for 5 permits and so far I have 3 of them used up on pistols that were exactly what I wanted, at the price I wanted to buy them at. I am anticipating being able to find another one on my list for a decent price (ruger 22/45 lite) but it is likely that permit #5 will be a random purchase or something I settle for. The remaining items on my list were pipe dreams. I subscribe to the motto of a previous poster "no permit left behind" I will sooner buy something I am not in love with than waste a permit I paid for and waited an ungodly amount of time to receive.

I bought my first shottie today (thanks Dave!) and I am rather clueless about shotgun ammo. Browsing several sights and what's available there are about 100 different kinds of ammo. I have no idea what the best "range" ammo is so I figured I would ask here. The shotgun I purchased is a Mossberg 590A1. Since it has a shorter barrel and no chokes I think that I am looking for buckshot (00?) and maybe slugs? The gun will be used for range fun only, since I don't think it would be very good at shooting pigeons or skeet and I do not intend on using it for home defense where I am currently living. Please recommend some ammo choices and also what a current market fair price would be. I looked here and sgammo has a case of Federal 00 buck for $195. No idea if it is a good price or not. http://www.sgammo.com/product/12-gauge/250-round-case-12-gauge-00-buckshot-federal-estate-9-pellet-275-inch-1325-fps-sku-i Thanks in advance for your help.

Just a quick update, the light came in about a week and a half ago and I have played with it a few times now. It is BRIGHT, it makes my 165 lumen tlr-1 look like I am using a candle. I tried it out in several scenario's, including Tallday's suggestion of turning all the lights off and basically clearing my condo. The light is def very bright, but was not blinding for me. The only feature I found unusable indoors was the strobe. I think that it would distract me almost as much as the intruder at close range. I also took it to my father's office building where things are a little more spread out, and has a 200yd parking lot. Standing on one end of the parking lot the light threw enough of a beam to easily discern the details of the boats that were on blocks at the other end. I think that this light would be fantastic for clearing a yard or searching for someone outdoors or in the woods. Overall I am very happy with the light, but due to my need to know what else is out there, I am also ordering a surefire x300 ultra. I will report back when that comes in. Whichever one wins I am going to order a few more to outfit a few more pistols. Thank you all for your help and input.

Always a quick, easy transaction with Dave. Nice to see you again. Thanks!

This is plastic ammo btw. Not good for anything but range fun. Comes to .20/rd shipped. Have to buy 1k rds.

SG has .308 practice ammo for cheap. Says its good to 300 yds for sighting in a scope or just range plinking. Reviews say accurate to 100yds. http://www.slickguns.com/product/308-short-range-practice-ammo-169-or-161-free-shipping
