same here. I honestly think the SAR was a better rifle than the X95. There are reports of it being more accurate too. I guess the X95 was an attempt to make it more convenient for the US market due to most Americans being used to the manual of arms of the ARFOW.
Thanks for the guidance Ron! The Streamlight Pro Tac HL-X with the Arisaka SSM-P mount (both on Amazon) fits like a glove as described. All in with the pressure switch included is $150. Nice price point for the quality and fitment.
might be a stupid question is this the correct mount Arisaka Offset Scout Mount - Low Profile Surefire Flashlight/Tactical Light Mount for MLok/M-Lok, Picatinny and Keymod copied from amazon
I have two x95 556/300 blk a TS12 and T7. I have the same flash hider. I want those grips so bad man. I'm jelly. I'd keep the cutlass for the reasons you mentioned. I'm in the rockies gloves are a must. Love the magpul gas blocking tip. I'll have to try that. Have those same panels lying around the gun room.
I got a 18.5inch barrel Tabor x95, with an m150 ACOG, manticore butt plate, military surefire light, bipod legs to boot too. I find my group size is pretty good but not the the best, but after zeroing with military M4/m16 zero card, then zeroing windage at 100m, elevation at 300m, I can hit targets at 450meters every time, so pretty good rifle system. Served wi british army infantry for 14yrs so used to the L85A2/SA80, served wi US Army Inf and still AD, so experience with the M4. Prefer bull pup over all even though they are heavier
Bad News! I heard from reliable sources that the IDF will no longer be issuing the Tavor SAR. I don’t know if they are going to switch to the new Sig SAR. For now they will be issuing the M-4.
I got the model that has the stupid pin and welded brake. Going to get it removed and maybe go with a warcomp or something from hux wrx. Going to get the pistol grip with guard.
Thanks for all the great advice. I was looking for advice about 1/3 coexist. I was hoping to see the iron sites in relation. I get your point about 1/2" being an advantage. I guess for close objects, you either look through the iron sites or just take that extra height into consideration. Appreciate your recommendations.
I am also running an LPVO on mine, and a fairly light weight option. It’s a Meopta Optika6 that weighs about 19 Oz and a LaRue 1.93 QD Mount. It makes the gun feel super sluggish and heavy. I am looking to move to the Leupold Mk3 HD 1.5-4x. Should cut about 6 Oz off the top of the gun, and should help tremendously, but not sure it will be enough. Considering a 3x30 Acog.
@@Tacticalfitnessaustin360 well, good news. I got one for my x95 from the boys at capital armory. They said you’re the best trainer around, so I’ll be doing one of your courses soon. I’ll let ya use mine and get your thoughts in person.
What’s your take on having a vertical foregrip on the x95? Also it looks like you’re running your light at 1:30/2 o clock. Do you feel that is the best position for a wl on the x95? Thanks
I am not a fan of foregrips. It's hard to access the light pad on the support side with a foregrip. With that said, its great for people with long arms. I like the position of the light. It keeps it close to the hand guard so you wont get it stuck on brush or door frames..
I find that a weapon light attached at the 3 or 9 o'clock pic rail, with an end cap button, works best. I'm a lefty, and mount that light on the 3'oclock pic rail. I can use my right hand ring finger to activate the light while it's wrapped around the handguard, and if I need to switch to my weak side my left thumb is right there. I like the clean look of not having tape switches and wires all over. I don't use any grips vertical or horizontal on this weapon. You don't need it, and it's just more junk hanging off the weapon. You can achieve a very good grip at numerous spots along the hand guard right back to the cutlass or pistol grip. If you like it forward, you can adjust the lower rail forward to give you a bit more space and still keep your fingers off of the barrel while firing.
Vert grip isn’t all that practical for the x95 due to it being so in close to your body. Vert grips really aren’t practical at all actually… they teach you poor recoil management. An angled grip, grip stop or no grip at all is much better. I’ve got an angled on my x95, But with it so close to you, I don’t know how I feel about it yet, might take it off.
I have a Magpul RVG on mine, and I feel like it's a necessity. The rifle is way too short to comfortably hold the forend with out a grip (for me) the RVG puts my hand in a comfortable neutral position. When I get a light, I'm going to tape the remote switch to the RVG, so I don't see a problem with not being able to access a light switch.
@@iamcondescending vert grips just teach you poor control. Using an angled gives you more control over your rifle from your off hand, I’m not saying people should not use them, if you shoot well with it, great, but I guarantee you that proper grip with an angle or just a hand stop will help you have better control
I have a .300 blk converted x95 tavor and I have been non-stop suggested to go with the dead air nomad instead of the OSS, heres hoping everyone was right lol
Yes. I have owned this weapon for 4 years. The unused ejection port could do a better job at being more gas tight. There are some aftermarket ones available to help eliminate that issue. At the rear of the pic rail closest to your face is another spot for gas leaking. The presenter had a single MAGPUL rail cover marking the spot; however, along with the single rail cover, an IWI zipper pull can and should be placed under it, and it fits perfectly, to aide in additional blocking of the gas coming out at that location. In my opinion that gas leaking at the back end of the pic rail is of more concern as far as getting gassed directly towards your face, and that little zipper pull does the trick. Gassing IS more apparent when using a suppressor, so something like an OSS or other low pressure model helps. IWI's video with Tom Alibrando show's how to apply that little zipper pull. Have a good one.
Just an FYI to anybody at IWI I'm a fan of your products especially the x95 and the TS-12. I'm no reviewer but feel free to send me some products and I'll review them accurately to the best of my ability. 😌😂

First thing I got for my X-95 was the pistol grip, but I'm saving the cutlass grip because I can fit my thick winter gloves in it.
I have a similar set on my TAVOR SAR. I tried out an X95 once and just prefer my SAR. Thanks for a great video
Thanks

@@RayDCO thanks
Thanks for the video. I really like the Olight Sigurd for mine, fits perfectly on the bottom rail, and doesn't stick out.

Thank you. No idea, never shot it.
What’re your thoughts on running the new Velos LBP with the x95? Seems like it was made with the x95 in mind.
Haven’t tried it.

Nice video
What is your belt set up?
Thanks

Can you test the CGS with the flow thru end cap? I am interested in that. Thanks.
We have a full review on it here th-cam.com/video/x9dDFDNnmMI/w-d-xo.html
No pistol grip in stock, and does not come with a manual or cleaning kit like the SAR did.
What is the L to O dial for on the X95?
Locking and unlocking the barrel
Why would you need a light, it’s illegal to shoot in the dark?
I have a pistol grip on my x95 with the IDF grip plates.
Nice!
So for weak side shooting do you just need to keep your head higher?

Thank you 🙏

For the 300BLK the nomad should be fine though it’s gassy on anything but a bolt gun. Make sure to have your Tavor on the correct gas setting.

What do you think about a 1-6 or 1-8 on the 18” barrel?
If you have a need for it why not? I ran a 1-6 on my x95 for a long time and now run it permanently on my 7. Love it for hunting.
If you are running an X95 without a suppressor, do you have to worry about gas in the face?
No

Is it accurate enough upto 500 yards
