Take this for what it’s worth from the Shooting Illustrated review of the Tavor 7 (Tavor Review):
Brownells also says that "newer rifles with 7.62x51 NATO chambers ARE made to handle .308 Win ammo”, but they also say check with the rifle manufacturer to be sure.

EoTech or Vortex holographic sights make tX95 a superb combo! Additionally, there are only three upgrades X95 needs: Optimus forend, curved buttpad, and a more prominent safety switch. Everything else is secondary.

I haven't done anything crazy with it but I've been happy with the stock forend with an AFG. Never saw the need for the buttpad and that's the first I've ever heard anyone mention the safety!
I've been debating on getting the Manticore buttpad and the Gasket port cover but $125 doesn't seem worth it at the moment.
Since this is a 18.5 in barrel I can actually put on the flat 1/8 butt pad and it's still legit.
The problem is the part has been out of stock from iwi for a long time now. Anyone have a spare that they want to sell?

I have the geisselle trigger bow but not the entire pack. I've watched a few videos but I still don't feel comfortable doing it myself.... I gotta make that a priority. Been having too much fun taking the AR out to the 200-400yd range.

If he’s really into irons, he could just be using the built-in BUIS.

The Super Sabra Trigger Pack is back in stock on Geissele's website for those looking for what is arguably the top upgrade to their Tavor. The Bow flat trigger has been available right along, but availability on the trigger pack upgrade has been spotty.

Did you look on Gun Broker?
i am a lefty and lefty bullpups were non existent until then, bought one when the first came out and still love it. the tavor is the same oal as 10 inch barrel ar15 and no nfa paperwork needed, the only drawback is that is is a little heavy.

a tavor is on my radar lefty conversion doesn't seem too difficult
look for one already done, like mine was. they are out there
No 20” ones.
you do not need a tavor on 20", really, no reason at all - it will not shoot tighter groups than a shorter one. but the shorter one will shoot everything well, and will be lighter.
there is really no need for a longer bullpup than it should be, 16" is good, 18" is ok.

It’s just to get the concussion a little further from my face. The mass muzzle breaks tend to throw it back at you. Not bad in 16” 5.56. But i am not sure 308/7.62 would be nice? Anyone have one i can try at 16”? I have ammo.

My Tavor 7 in 308/7.62 is a sweet shooter and there is no problem with muzzle concussion as compared to the 5.56 Tavor X95. It is nice to have heavy hitting 308/7.56 firepower in such a compact and maneuverable platform.
Also, using a compensator like this one should help if you are concerned.

if you're trying to get the end of the barrel away from you by making it longer to lower the blast I think you're going about it all wrong.
The overall short length of the Tavor is the entire point of that system. And getting it that short via bullpup comes with a lot of downsides. Making it longer for stated reason is now getting the worst of both worlds. You have a rifle with all the bullshit that bullpups are stuck with and now it's not even short anymore.
Just put a better break on it that throws everything forward. Simple as can be.

There are muzzle breaks that redirect the concussion forward. It feels less loud and has absolutely no side gas ejection. Kaw Valley Precision makes really good ones. I've used one and it works like a regular break but no concussion and also feels quieter.
