Aim Surplus just got in the new IWI TAVOR SAR 9mm Conversion Kit. It includes a chrome hammer forged 1:10 twist barrel and a Colt 32rd magazine. The kit is pricey at $899, but with the cost of .223 still above pre-Sandy Hook prices and 9mm available online from some retailers it’s a great way to still be able to hit the range with your Tavor. These aren’t available for sale to CA, CO, CT, HI, MA, MD, NJ, NY and OH. Check it out over at AimSurplus.com.
Where is anyone shopping that 223Rem is so high that 9mm is that much more affordable to justify this price? Just a quick visit to Gunbot.net shows as little as $0.04/rd difference comparing the lowest priced target rounds of the two calibers. At those prices, it would be tens of thousands of rounds before you’d come close to breaking even. For $900, I could buy a perfectly functional Kel Tec/High-Point 9mm carbine, get some extra mags, and 1,000 rounds of ammo and then maybe be close to coming to this price. Yes, that’s a whole new gun, but wouldn’t a converted Tavor be a whole ‘new gun’ since it’s not like an AR upper that can be swapped out in 60 seconds?
In some places you can’t shoot rifle calibers. That can make something like this practical.
Again, I point to the $295.00 Hi-Point or the $400.00 Kel-Tec Sub 2000 9mm carbines. 33% the price and 100% less pain and frustration on the lengthy conversions.
