Really terrific video. I’ve watched this an untold number of times

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video for the Tavor SAR owners. Thanks

[@fastboarder2688]

If adding a muzzle brake for a suppressor, using a KBA washer (not jam nut) and shims , can 35 foot lbs of torque be applied without removing the barrel? Or, is it necessary to remove the barrel and use a barrel vise, then reassemble? Thanks!

[@lakepostell6912]

Your vid is helpful ! Well done.

[@buetang]

Are the barrels interchangeable in the SAR and X95?

[@michaelpape1195]

What if you have an 18-in barrel with a bayonet lug. I'm having an issue pulling the charging handle over the bayonet lug

[@M14KNM]

It's turbo dumb, you have to remove the lug. I threw my 18" barrel away when I got it off because of it.

[@PLT-dq3dd]

Is IWI ever going to offer a top rail of proper height??? The factory rail height is not compatible for U.S. produced optics.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

It's built to mount optics at the same same height as AR15 stuff. My AR15 stuff lines up and sits EXACTLY the same on this tavor I have with no issue. So what do you mean?

[@akbrakes9412]

Cameraman needs to do more close ups. Also if i by a spare barrel with no bolt, how can i guage another bolt to fit barrel?

[@M14KNM]

This is dumb, why would anyone buy this rube goldberg device when the AUG just plain works?

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

I have a aug i bout new in 1989 the x95 is a better gun. You can go much,much longer without cleaning a x95 and IWI will tell you that in most cases you will never have to take the x95 down to the point of barrel removal. Now the aug? You have to clean and take down. When you pull the barrel out you have to take the piston and spring from the barrel. The piston gets a lot of carbon in it and I've had them stick to the point of needing oil and some time to tap it loose. The piston uses rings like a ar15 but half the size and a bitch to replace. So the AUG has its own issues.

[@M14KNM]

@@Phenixrising-p1p I too bought an AUG new and haven't had your experience. X95 and Tavor are garbage rifles. You can't even give them away.
