Tavor detail and wear pics at 1500 rounds
Thanks to TangoFoxtrot for the opportunity to get some pictures of his Tavor that he’s been shooting for the past year. His videos are at: https://www.youtube.com/user/romeotangofoxtrot/videos
He estimates this rifle has about 1500 rounds on it at this point.
Tavor rifle.
Tavor with basic field strip, including special tool (unfired cartridge) required for disassembly. One captive pin and the BCG drops out the back. The buttpad is captive.
Hammer pack removed. Two captive pins retain it and the bolt stop. The bolt stop could be removed at this point but removing it is not part of the normal strip for cleaning.
Bolt carrier group with recoil spring guide rod removed. Guide rod shown partially retracted. The guide rod prevents the bolt from rotating while the stripping lugs of the bolt hit the cartridge at the top of the magazine.
BCG detail stripped.
The stripped BCG. Notice that the points that actually contact the receiver rails are small in length and have clearances between them. I these work as sand cuts.
Bolt details. AR15 bolt for comparison. Note that the locking/unlocking cam path is part of the bolt.
