256 Days. That's how long it took for the Form 4 to be approved by BATFE.
It finally arrived in my friendly FFL's hands this Friday, and transfer was then completed as I zipped over there to pick it up.
While the wait is mighty excessive, the end result, as one might say, is worth it.
After I bought it and while counting the days, I figured it would need accessories worthy of it, so I went out and found an excellent optic for it.
Only downside with it, is that as it is surplus is its missing a couple of the screws in the back. So, if anyone knows those screw dimensions and where to get some repalcements, let me know so I can buy some to replace them.
The Tavor SBR shoots great and with a 13 inch barrel is a very handy firearm indeed.
We all shot it at both the 25 yard and 100 yard range and rang the 100 yard range steel nicely. The X95 can shoot.
200 rounds through it and zero failures or issues of any kind. Ran great, and it handled great, so I guess the wait was worth it.
A very nice handy firearm, I think I'll get it setup for a can sometime in the future and put a forward grip on it as well.

Very nice!
Isn't that just an Israeli made version of a Trijicon? So contact them, they'll be at least able to tell you the style and thread size, if not sell you the screws.
If not, go to a good fastener store and unscrew one, it will most likely be some whacky metric thingy that they'll have in stock.
And... What Old NFO said.
256 days does seem a tad... excessive. Cheese anyone off at the BATFE lately?
Hey Aaron;
There you rubbing in the salt in the range wounds again, LOL. Seriously, That rifle looks SWEET!!!!!. Beans may be on to something with what he said, something to think about.
Old NFO: Thanks, it's been awesome .
Beans: It's actually a Trijicon made scope the same as their other TA31 models except it has a special reticle for the Israelis. But, Trijicon has been singularly unhelpful. Its a Trijicon made scope made on a special contract for Israel but apparently they're miffed that some have come back to the USA and they don't want to give any info about it including those rear screw dimensions which are the same as an Trijicon TA31.
AFAIK, I haven't annoyed anyone at BATFE, it just takes ridiculously long, even for an electronically submitted Form 4 app.
MrGarabaldi: Thanks, its just super handy and has been awesome so far.
Aaron, seriously, drag it down to the local Bolt and Nut shop (the place where you can buy really good bolts and nuts.) They can probably match up with something in the inventory, or at least give you the specs you need to order (but most likey, they have a handful in stock.)
