Here she is with the YHM slant muzzle brake. Two weeks later they tell me they didn't need to weld it because it doesn't count as an AW with the cutlass grip guard? And that I wouldn't be able to disassemble it?

I mean... I don’t buy it, but I’ve heard it said before that because it may or may not be a true pistol grip that you wouldn’t need too. But you can disassemble it if you watch enough YouTube videos.

if it doesn't count as a AW than why does IWI make a compliant version?? also I can take that gun apart 100% with the pinned muzzle devise , and when I say 100% I mean every nut screw pin and spring stripped down bare so I'm not sure what smoke they are blowing up your butt
I don't think IWI makes any "compliant" version. Mass gun shops have given me different interpretations of the AWB, some offering an X95 with pinned and welded brake, others with unpinned/welded A2 flash hider. But any pin/weld job was done in Mass after the dealer received it.
Actually they do Make one and not just for MA. See the ‘restricted state’ version on their website. Tavor® X95™ | IWI US, Inc.
Well that’s interesting. I was basing my assumption on Mass Firearms saying all theirs were pinned and welded by their gunsmith in Framingham. Looks like this restricted state model is not just pinned/welded but also has OAL of 30in for NJ requirements.
Thanks for the insight.

How do you like the magnifier? I'm getting some decent hits at 100yds with my aimpoint pro but I'm thinking about a magnifier to really dial it in and increase accuracy. Just seems like a lot going on up top.
That is not a magnifier. Although I have one.

What is it? Thoughts on magnifier?

It looks like you’ve got a PVS-14. Is it a Gen 2 or 3? How well does it work with the Mepro’s tritium illumination at night? I’ve a Mepro 21 on my Tavor and have been looking at various night vision solutions.

it's an expensive way to give Maura the finger. I like mine, need to order spare firing pin and spring. It's more accurate at 100yds than I'll ever be but yes heavier than an M4 but 4" shorter. It's always a conversation piece at the range.

For those of us in MA, who need to pin and weld. I would recommend replacing the big rubber pad with the thin pad. The big pad from IWI is to get it over 26''.
The thin pad makes a huge world of difference. I could not stand that standard pad, would stick to my skin and cloths.

How easy it to clean?
Not bad for a field cleaning. Just open up the butt plate with one pin to take the bolt out. It’s a more complicated thing to do a deeper cleaning, but this isn’t an AR. It will operate just fine dirty.
I have an Eotech 3x mag with a quick release. It moves from my Tavor to my CZ (both have Eotechs) when I want to reach out to longer distances. When I had an Aimpoint, I would use the magnifier with that as well. I like the flexibility of 3x/no 3x with a flip and the easy mount/dismount to move between platforms. It adds weight, so with a Tavor and red dot/holographic which is already a heavy rifle, you better eat your Wheaties and do some shoulder/bicep workouts with your primary shooting arm.
I will add that the Tavor has built in BUIS in the top rail, so unlike many flattop rifles, no need to purchase/increase weight for add-on BUIS.
