The Tavor family of battle-proven bull-pup rifles expands with the addition of a 7.62x51mm/.308 Winchester caliber version, eagerly awaited for by both civilian and MIL/LE/Govt. customers alike. The new IWI Tavor 7 provides increased firepower, accuracy and longer range for a variety of scenarios and requires only minimal maintenance.

The IWI 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.
