Similar to its well-liked X95 series, IWI announced this month that it has a new Tavor in its lineup chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO.
Exhibited at the Defense and Security show in Ban Mai, Thailand next week, the fully-ambidextrous Tavor 7 AR looks a lot like your standard IWI bullpup rifle but is stretched to accommodate the 7.62mm chambering.
“We are pleased to expand the TAVOR family – the world’s most popular battle-proven bullpup rifles – with the new addition of a 7.62X51mm caliber weapon, based on requests from our customers,” said Shlomi Sabag, IWI’s CEO.
Moving past the X95’s 5.56mm chambering, the 7 AR is pitched to military and law enforcement end-users but would certainly appeal to the U.S. market for all comers.
