Overview

The Tavor X95 achieves what no carbine-length AR can: a 16.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel in a 26.1-inch overall package. The bullpup layout moves the action behind the trigger group, eliminating the dead space of a conventional stock and delivering full-velocity 5.56 performance in a platform that handles like a short-barreled rifle without the NFA paperwork. IWI's long-stroke piston system runs reliably across ammunition types and suppressed configurations. The X95 is the standard-issue service rifle of the Israel Defense Forces, a distinction earned through sustained operational use across varied environments and conditions.

Key Features

  • 16.5-inch cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel
  • Long-stroke piston gas system for reliable cycling
  • Bullpup configuration: 26.1-inch OAL with full-length barrel
  • Ambidextrous safety, magazine release, and bolt release
  • M-LOK handguard with top Picatinny rail
  • Integrated ambidextrous brass deflector for left-hand shooters
  • Tool-free conversion to left-hand ejection

Pros

  • +16.5-inch barrel in a 26.1-inch package beats any comparable AR-15 carbine for maneuverability
  • +Long-stroke piston system runs suppressed and with dirty or varied ammunition
  • +Fully ambidextrous controls including ejection port conversion
  • +IDF service rifle with extensive documented operational reliability

Cons

  • Heavier than comparable AR-pattern rifles at 7.9 lbs unloaded
  • Aftermarket accessory ecosystem is limited compared to AR-15
  • Bullpup trigger linkage produces a longer, heavier pull than direct AR trigger groups
  • Balance point is rearward; takes deliberate adjustment for shooters coming from AR platforms
