Well, it looks like Tripod gotcha again with those bandwidth limitations! $;-)
Here's a couple pix of the TAR-21 that I got off the IDF's SpecOps site. The good news for us here in America is that Barrett in Tennessee, the makers of the awesome M82A1 .50 cal, is currently undergoing manufacturing and cost studies on producing this rifle right here. They had a nonfunctional proto at the SHOT show earlier this year, and hope to have some working models for demo at the upcoming Black Rifle convention in Illinois this summer. Stay tuned!
Joe, my understanding is that the Barrett/Tavor is more akin nternally to the Israeli
Magul police carbine or the earlier Galil, already approved as a civilian-legal semiauto design. That may have just been the case with the prototypes for the show to demonstrate the configuration and layout, but in any event the version displayed by Angie Barrett at the show was quite different from the Tavor rifles under consideration for adoption in the former Yugoslavian Bosnian republic and Turkey.
Like you say, we'll see what turns up at the *Black rifle shootoff*...and elsewhere....

Bummer! If that's what they're offering, it's barely even close. Dragamundo!
What is so hard about just offering the real deal. Jeez!
