IWI X95 Tavor

The IWI Tavor X95 is the refined successor to the original Tavor SAR, developed for and adopted by the Israel Defense Forces as the standard infantry rifle. The X95 redesigns the trigger linkage geometry of earlier bullpup designs to produce a shorter, lighter pull that rivals traditional layout rifles, addressing the primary criticism of the bullpup concept. In 5.56x45mm NATO, the 16.5-inch cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel delivers full rifle ballistics in an overall package length of just 26.1 inches -- effectively an M4-length package with a 16-inch barrel instead of a 14.5-inch one.

The gas-piston operating system with a rotating bolt keeps carbon out of the receiver and allows the X95 to function reliably across a wide range of ammunition without cleaning or adjustment. The reinforced polymer receiver is designed to be ambidextrous by design: the ejection port cover can be swapped to the opposite side using a field-expedient conversion kit. Three M-LOK slots on each side of the forend, a top Picatinny rail, and an integrated folding grip provide accessory flexibility. For shooters who live and work in tight spaces -- vehicle crews, close-protection details, and urban environments -- the X95 provides more barrel in less space than any conventional-layout rifle can offer.
