Re: Tavor
I emailed Trans Worls Arms LLC (the company rumored to be importing them waaaaaaay back in January) and they got back to me. I asked a few follow-up questions, and asked if I could share the email. If so I'll just copy-and-paste it if anybody is interested. The short version is there are still plans for the Tavor to be imported, assembled, and manufactured here.
I'm also now on the Tavor email list which is kind of cool, and I'm remaining optimistic that it's coming so I am saving up money for one. It is all relatively vague, yet seems positive. I'll just ignore that people have been talking about importing the Tavor since ~2008 (if not longer). I am hopeful though, it seems to have a lot of what I'm looking for.
