S&T Tavor- anyone know if the gun is good internally?

im considering getting the new tavor that came out and am not exactly sure how i feel about the polycarbonate gearbox or how well the internals are in general. if anyone can shed any light on how well this thing can perform and if it can last a while, and also what length motor it uses i would appreciate it greatly. thanks.

this is a new AEG, no one else has any experience with it. you should post a review after you've opened it up.

okay thanks man

airdog has them in
i think rhino is about to do a video on them

heard the same thing. really curious about it, and if it would be good buy.

Im sure if you went there and talked to rhino he would let you shoot one to get a feel for it.

We Airdog have them in stock. I personally dont think the Poly gear box will be a problem. But as most of your guys know I do a lot of work on Tavors from around the US and Canada and I plan to do the same on the S&T's. I plan on opening one up on Tuesday and doing a video of the internals and what I think about it. I will keep you guys posted.

It might be a problem but with sorbo buffer and radius mechbox corners, I doubt you'll have any problems with the front snapping off at normal m120 use.

i once used sorbo to repair a hole in my liver
and then i radiused my truck tire and got 200 miles per gallon

its not a fix all

JG SR16 -386fps -24rps -280 feet body shots!

will you be at soco
i could use a gun like that
it takes me,rhino and alex near 550 fps to make those shots---confirmed---

Sorbo is not the answer for everything but to get back on topic. I just finished my review on the S&T Tavor and I am in the process of uploading it now. Hopefully I should have it posted before 7pm today.

Have you ever heard of r-hop? Flat hop? If you have, you will know this is more than possible especially with higher weight ammo, like .4 bb's.

Can you please stay on topic! Yes we have heard of R-hop. This topic is about the S&T Tavor not sorbo, radius gear box corners or R-hop

Okay, sorry for the meandering. Just replying to the post made about my weapon. Anyway I am interested in seeing your video.

Actually, can you comment on the gears (steel?), piston assembly, compression parts? Don't know if it will be in your video or not. The screw inserts for the plastic gearbox, are they metal? If not can you see someone easily stripping one?

All your questions are addressed in the video. Should be posted by 7

There is nothing wrong with a Poly gear box. I have hooked a crossman plastic gear box up to a 22.2 volt lipo which is actually 25.2 volts and ran it full auto until the motor smoked and through sparks and couldn't break it the shell or the plastic gears. this is not a cheaply made gear box.

i have a new one i got in a mystery box, $150 brand new in box if u want
