Rainier XTC
It looks like a Ranier XTC brake, which may be too much for the shorter length of the Tavor. A compensator may be more appropriate with less concussion and noise.

If cost (conversion kit or ammo) is not a factor. Would you still consider another caliber for the tavor? My thinking is if I want to have multiple calibers on AR, why not on the Tavor. If I'm looking to build a 9mm AR, I will get the Tavor 9mm conversion instead. I have been lurking interested on building a 9mm AR. The selection for 9mm AR is very limited. The tavor 9mm conversion seems to fit in.

I'd be interested but I haven't researched it at all, so I don't know what's involved. Who makes the conversion? Is it an easy on, off setup? What type of mags are used? Can it be fitted for Uzi mags?
I see a huge benefit, as a reloader, to have the ability to utilize 2 calibers. Not to mention how cool it will be.

Can I borrow for car shoot ......
Lol you know you love me .
Cost aside, I agree the 9mm tavor conversion is cool. I mean who wouldn't want to have 2 Tavors setup identically, one for 9mm and the other 5.56? Pretty dope.
My only thing with shooting a pistol caliber is that there are some great pistol caliber carbines that probably out-do the tavor in 9mm especially since it will be quite heavy to shoot 9mm (unless the conversion drops the weight, but same bolt system?). As mentioned above I am unfamiliar with the magazine system for Tavor-9mm?
After years of poo-poo'ing the PC-carbines, I've gone 180 and love them now. The CX4 storm in 9mm is such an amazing weapon. Even my Hi Point 995TS is awesome. The JR-carbine would be fantastic but it's unbalanced in my hands. I think it will be tough for the Tavor-9mm to beat out the current options of PC-carbine. I just don't think that being a bullpup gives it the same advantage when firing 9mm (advantage more when comparing to other 223 options).
Just my 2c, what the hell do i know.

Yes, I luv you more than your partner. Unfortunately, I won't be at the car shoot this month. Will try my best to attend the next one. Rifle will be on the table. You're welcome to send some lead to the car target.

The conversion kit is available now and offered by IWI US. It's consist of barrel, bolt/bolt carrier, and mag adapter. It take colt AR 9mm mag (modified UZI mags). Not sure about how hard to do the conversion. If I ever get one of this kit and do a conversion, I will do a write up/review.

Lol had to ask .
The conversion takes a few mins to swap the parts over . That crazy fast shooting guy for s&w has a video.
If you get the kit , but a bunch of pre ban mags and I can mod them for you as you waits since I got a mill etc .

I like how you describe Jerry as "crazy fast shooting guy".

It's the last name that screws me up on spelling
That's one thing I love about the Tavor. Stupid easy to clean, caliber conversion swap, etc. That mixed with a trigger upgrade makes this rifle orgasmic. But I need to open up a new credit line up first

Took me less than a minute to swap the safety.
cost aside.. hell yeah! but I unforunitly do not shoot enough to off set the cost. not to mention the 5.56 if far superior to 9mm. although 9mm would be cool to just blast away. .22 lr would be hella sweet too
Nice, I am trying to find a Left Hand Bolt, no luck though.
Fedex guy just drop off a box in front of my door.

From IWI site, you need to send in your rifle and they will convert the rifle to left handed. Did you try this route? As for 9mm conversion, you will need the 9mm conversion kit. No extra part needed for 9mm left handed conversion.
