Available in black and Flat Dark Earth, the TAVOR features fully ambidextrous controls with removable 16.5&#8243; or 18&#8243; chrome-lined barrels, a full-length top-mounted integral Picatinny rail and a short 45\u00b0 rail for mounting accessories. Also available are a left-hand model with a 16.5&#8243; barrel and an IDF model with an integral MEPRO-21 reflex sight. The TAVOR\u00ae SAR uses standard AR-15\/M16 magazines and is easily field-stripped into sub-assemblies for routine maintenance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"Shooting a Tavor\" href=\"http:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/?p=4214\" target=\"_blank\">I was able to shoot a Tavor at SHOT Show 2013 (see video here)<\/a>.\u00a0 I thought it handled very well, indeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_1088.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4252\" title=\"IWI TAVOR SAR 2\" src=\"http:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_1088.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_1088.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_1088-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinblueflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_1088-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Randall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just in from IWI and the Pennsylvania State Capitol Police.
