IDF to replace Tavor with Israeli made AR

I owned a regular Tavor and an X95. The X95 moved a bunch of the controls into alignment with AR locations. It was much easier to run.

One of the reasons I got rid of the original gun was that I was already at a point where running an AR was instinctive. I didn't want to put the time in to learn a whole new gun.

Almost all rifles that have come out since use AR control layouts. Even if they aren't based on it. SCAR and MCX come immediately to mind.
 
What's wrong with all those old M4s we gave em? Pass em out. I thought I remembered IDF used to mount optics on the carry handle 5 inches above the bore till they switched to putting their mepros on a gooseneck forward mount. Brilliant.

This Carbine is whats called a Menusar (Hebrew for sawn)

It's an M16A1 rifle, barrel cut just aft of the gas port. Then a new gas port drilled at carbine length, FSB pinned, and carbine buttstock assembly added.

So it's essentially a 13" barreled carbine with an A1 barrel profile, and a 1/12 twist.

IIRC the IDF got a bunch of Colt 603 M16A1s during and after the Yom Kippur war and they eventually chopped them down to these Carbines.

A lot of the Carry Handle ARs you see in Israel are this configuration..
 
Lol I thought it was more cause chopping and rekitting the old M4s and M16s we gave them was the FREE option. Why spend to get shiny new Tavors when Uncle Sam's old M4s are FREE?

Thats a pretty stereotypical and racist thing to say goy. An HK fan eh? Harboring an affinity for a certain mid 20th century european political movement are we?

I like Hk cause I grew up playing R6 shit like Rogue Spear. Kinda makes you wanna sit on a lubed USP45 barrel as you're fondling the rest of the collection.
 
The US Military should be paying attention.... IDK why they have such love for a rifle chambered in the 6.8×51mm (.277 in) SIG Fury cartridge. It was 5.00 bucks a round last I checked. You can practically shoot 50 BMG for less!
