IWI Tavor X95 XB18RS 5.56 NATO 18.5" Barrel NJ/MD Compliant Rifle

The IWI Tavor X95 XB18RS delivers proven bullpup performance in a configuration that meets New Jersey and Maryland compliance requirements. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle maintains the compact advantages of bullpup design while extending the barrel to 18.5 inches for enhanced ballistic performance and legal compliance in restricted states.

What Makes This Different

The X95 represents IWI's evolution of the battle-tested Tavor platform, incorporating user feedback and manufacturing refinements from military contracts worldwide. The bullpup configuration places the action behind the trigger group, achieving a 26-inch overall length while maintaining an 18.5-inch barrel. This design provides rifle-length ballistics in a package shorter than most carbines, with better weight distribution and faster target transitions than conventional rifles.

Key Features

• 18.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate optimized for 5.56 NATO ammunition
• Ambidextrous controls including safety, magazine release, and bolt release accommodate both shooting styles
• Integral Picatinny rail system with 13 inches of top rail space for optics mounting
• Reinforced polymer receiver and stock construction reduces weight to 7.9 pounds unloaded
• 10-round magazine capacity meets NJ/MD compliance requirements
• Modular trigger pack allows for easy maintenance and potential upgrades
• Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility with included adapter

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, while the gas piston operating system handles adverse conditions without the fouling issues common to direct impingement systems. The shorter overall length excels in vehicle operations, close quarters scenarios, and hunting situations where maneuverability matters. The 18.5-inch barrel maintains sufficient velocity for effective performance at extended ranges while meeting barrel length requirements in restricted jurisdictions.
