Had a chance to send a few downrange last weekend. Ran a snake through the bore and lightly oiled the action before I began.

Shooting XM193 from C-Products mags, it worked flawlessly. Only had time to run through a few mags so I'm not ready for a full review yet, but so far I am extremely impressed. Recoil is very controllable, trigger is very heavy but works well, and the whole package feels much lighter than it is due to all the weight being towards the rear.

The most interesting and difficult part for me is the manual of arms. I kept reaching up front for mag changes, having used AR15-style weapons for years. Training would be a huge concern if you were to switch to the Tavor full-time. It would take some time before mag changes & charging the weapon became quick and natural.

I had to ditch the Larue mount with the Aimpoint. The rail on the Tavor has a space through the center. Mounts like the Larue do not mount solidly. I'll be ordering an ADM or similar mount for the Micro T-1 soon. The irons worked just fine, and they are built right into the rail so they're always with you and easy to deploy.

Everyone had a great time shooting the Tavor. It is quite different, especially if you haven't used a bullpup before. I'm really looking forward to spending more time with it soon.
