The IWI Tavor X95 delivers compact firepower with full-size rifle performance in a revolutionary bullpup configuration. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle maintains a 26-inch overall length while housing an 18.5-inch barrel, providing superior maneuverability without sacrificing ballistic performance.
What Makes This Different
The bullpup design places the action behind the trigger group, creating a rifle that's 5-7 inches shorter than conventional AR-15 platforms while maintaining identical barrel length. The X95 features a fully ambidextrous operating system with dual magazine releases, charging handles on both sides, and ejection port covers that redirect brass away from left-handed shooters. Cold hammer-forged barrels deliver consistent accuracy with chrome-lined chambers rated for extended high-volume use.
Key Features
- 18.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
- Fully ambidextrous controls including dual charging handles and magazine releases
- Integrated MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail system with additional rail sections
- Accepts standard AR-15/M16 magazines including 30-round capacity
- Reinforced polymer construction with steel barrel and receiver components
- Adjustable trigger mechanism with 6-8 pound pull weight
- Built-in backup iron sights with tritium front post option
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, while the gas piston operating system reduces fouling compared to direct impingement designs. The compact profile excels in vehicle operations, close-quarters scenarios, and confined spaces where traditional rifles prove cumbersome. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris infiltration during adverse conditions.
