Originating from Israeli Military Industries (IWI), a company with a long history of creating robust and innovative firearms, the Tavor SAR has become a popular choice for both military and civilian users. This platform is built for durability, featuring a high-impact polymer body, a chrome-lined Cold Hammer Forged barrel, and a monolithic Picatinny rail for optics and other accessories.
