Guess my new rifle-now a Tavor thread

Post by JAG2955 »

I traded for a new rifle. I'll probably trade this one (waiting on a guy's final response) for another one that I want a little more, and is a smarter choice.

So guess my rifle. Here's your hint:

You traded for an AUG?

Yep. My SOCOM II with a Ultimak rail for an AUG A3. And it'll be gone tomorrow for a loaded Tavor.

Boys are .55 caliber originally.
Lahti m39s and Solothurns are both 20x138b.

Oops, that's what I get for not googling first.

Sorry, no DD weapons. I'm not made of money or platinum. I could make enough selling my body, but prostitution is illegal. 8-)

But the Tavor is here. Some of you might be wondering why I swapped them out. I was glad to get rid of the M1A. I would have been happy with either. But, I really think that any rifle you may trust your life to (any MSR) should be equipped with sufficient magazines, and to a lesser extent, be able to mount a white light. With the AUG, I would have had to spend at a minimum $150 for 5 more mags, and probably closer to $300 until I was happy. I know that I could have gotten a NATO stock, but that's also $300. I have a boatload of AR mags. The AUG isn't very conducive to a light mount, nor is it a good suppressor host. The Tavor is better on both counts, plus this one had an AAC mount on it, integrated BUIS (with a tritium front post), and an upgraded handguard. I think the Tavor has better ergonomics, especially the mag release, but the AUG had the better trigger by a bit, but there are upgrades for both triggers. Still, I'm happy, the other two guys are happy, and we all have new toys. My Tavor is OD green, though. It might have a date with a can of Krylon.

I bet you could afford a DD if you really wanted to...
