Meet the newest member of IWI’s Tavor Bullpup Rifle Family: the Tavor 7 AR in 7.62x51mm.

“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 in a press release.

“The IWI Tavor 7 enables users from the military and law enforcement markets to operate in a wide variety of scenarios at short and medium range with enhanced firepower – efficiently, safely and easily, with only minimal maintenance,” Sabag continued.

“Based on what we have already heard from the field, we expect the IWI TAVOR 7 to become a leader in its category,” he concluded. “The weapon will be available from the first quarter of 2018.”

The skinny from the press release:

The TAVOR 7 is a fully ambidextrous platform on which the ejection side and the charging handle can be switched quickly and easily from side to side by the user. The ambidextrous features include: safety lever, magazine release, and bolt catch similar to the X95.

The IWI TAVOR 7 also includes an M-LOK fore-end (2 M-LOK slots at 3 and 9 o’clock) as well as MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail at the 6 o’clock position, to allow the use of multiple devices and accessories. The rifle’s body is built from high-strength, impact-modified polymer, and has a hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel for enhanced accuracy and life cycle.

Additional features include a short stroke gas piston with a 4-position variable gas regulator, (including an OFF position – a unique feature designed for special operation needs), a rotating bolt system that ensures maximum safety for the user, and a pistol grip that can be changed or modified.

The IWI TAVOR 7 enables 100% interchangeability, reducing maintenance costs. It is available in four colors: Sniper Gray, OD Green, Black, and Flat Dark Earth, with replaceable barrels available in two lengths – 17″ (432 mm) and 20″ (508 mm) – for various uses. The rifle has an overall length of 28.4″ (723 mm) and a weight without a magazine of 9lbs (4.1 Kg).

No word on price.  We look forward to seeing this new bullpup at SHOT 2018.

    Now THAT is a BULL pup and should be a worthy successor to my Galil AR-308 from 1984.

    Is that image cropped or is there in fact no recoil pad for the operator’s shoulder?

  • Cyrus November 3, 2017, 9:10 am

    That is a beautiful rifle and I would love one but unfortunately it would be banned in my State and I’m pretty sure it will be over $2500 a piece. Oh well 🙁

      You have our deepest sympathies. And yes, that is a fine looking piece.
