That's pretty cool, hopefully it will have an adjustable gas system. And I'd appreciate it if they started selling replacement rail covers for the x95 before anything else. Hell if you really want to get me excited sell aluminum front ends for the x95..

I figured that would just be a barrel change kit though. They promised that from the beginning, IIRC. But hey, the new look in the pic of the adjustable gas system with the SAR look, but X95 controls. I like it.

Yesterday we posted a "teaser" on our new TAVOR 7 and your response has been huge! Many of you have asked several questions about this new model. We will attempt to answer some of them here:
Specifications: • Caliber: 7.62 NATO/.308 Win • Barrel: CHF/CL 1:12 twist with a 16" barrel; 1:10 with 18" barrel • OAL: 26.75" with 16" barrel (without flash suppressor) • Weight: 8.6 Lbs. • Optional calibers & Conversion Kits: TBD • Colors: Black, FDE and OD Green Features (muzzle to butt): • Muzzle threads: 5/8 x 24 • 4 position variable gas regulator (including off) • Upper forend: 2 MLOK slots at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock • Lower forend: Removable SAR styled forend cover that exposes one integral pic rail at 6 o'clock when removed. • Charging handle lockable in open position, similar to an MP5. • Full length one piece Picatinny (Mil-Spec) top rail with integral folding BUIS; Tritium front post. • Cutlass style grip modifiable to pistol grip with traditional trigger guard; same as X95. • Short stroke gas piston (unlike our long stroke SAR and X95). • Uses LR/SR25 magazines and comes with one 20-round Magpul PMAG with window (in states without capacity restrictions; 10 round for restricted states). • Bolt release is Tavor SAR style along centerline or release from MP5 style charging handle • Fire control group is not interchangeable with SAR or X95.
Ambidextrous Features: • Ambidextrous bolt; no opposite hand bolt needed for conversion to opposite hand operation. No need to return the gun to IWI US for opposite hand conversion and head space checking. • Ambidextrous (all the time) magazine release position like our X95, similar to an AR-15. • Ambidextrous charging handle with push through receiver functionality. No need for tools or any disassembly. • Ambidextrous (all the time) safety selector with a 45 degree rotation (unlike 90 degrees on our SAR and X95). • Ambidextrous (all the time) bolt release behind magazine; similar to the Tavor SAR. • Ejection port covers are user configurable in the field with a simple slide of the case deflector.
Launch Date: First shipments projected to start in January, 2018.
In my owners manual for my x95 it states that the gas system adjustment is under the top rail, in front of the rear sight a bit. There is a slot to stick a tool or maybe even a cartridge tip in to change it. I was going nuts trying to find it until I realized that I missed the part where it said for .300 blk only. I got the rifle a month or two before the election
I wonder how it will compare to the Desert Tech MDR? The MDR appears to be super, but the company has some large MIL orders and the MDR keeps getting delayed.

Now THAT is very tempting! So much power in such a tight package. I'm totally guessing that the price might be $2000 - $2300. If < $2K, IMI will have a great product for the money.
I'd won't buy it unless if spare parts are available for it, but that's just me.
These are good days for us as firearms owners.
