New range toy/HD gun - Update w/Upgrades

Post by GunnyGene » Sat Jan 29, 2022 2:59 pm

I've been considering a new shotgun for the past couple weeks, and finally settled on a IWI Tavor TS12 Bullpup, that I picked up this morning. Very SCIFI looking with three 5rnd rotatable magazines. Not a gun for anyone with hand or finger problems tho. I've been getting acquainted with it this morning and will probably burn some shells tomorrow if the weather cooperates. :D I'll be installing Magpul flip up sights for now. Maybe a optic later.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Yeah. Ain't it cool? :D Also accepts Beretta & Benelli chokes, and includes the adapter, etc. in the box.

How does he like it? Has he had any issues with it - ammo, etc.? Recoil heavy or mild (depending on load of course)?

If I get out to shoot tomorrow, I'll post about it. In the meantime, there's a good video from a couple years ago on the MAC Youtube channel. About 30 minutes long. Has some good tips about the gun.

I just got off the phone with him ..... he said that it is one of the best shotguns he's bought in a long time and is one of his favorites .... magazine tubes hold 5 - 2 3/4" or 4 - 3" shells .... it has two recoil gas settings, low and high .... set on low for skeet level load makes recoil a total nonissue .... when set on high for hunting level shells, the felt recoil is on par with the best semiautomatic .... if you make a mistake and set it on low when firing hunting ammo, it will pound your shoulder with the best of'um .... the manufacture offers a recoil pad upgrade which he says is very good .... an optional lever of some type is Fine .... he has a small red dot on his that has a small circle around a small "x" --- he really likes it for shooting skeet

hope this helps

I watched theac vid a couple years back and held on at the lgs. My issue with guntuber vids is that noatter what they say, they are selling you something. It may only be their own youtube content. With that i take any youtube review with a trailer full of skepticism.

Thanks! Good info. I'm not sure what he meant by "hunting level shells". I'm guessing that would be around 1400fps and 1 1/4 oz or more? The manual isn't clear about that either. I've got it set on Low right now and will be shooting some RIO #4 shot (1330fps, 1 1/4 oz Game Load tomorrow I hope. I've used this ammo in the past in my Mossberg pump and it didn't seem bad. Stout, but not painful. I did see that butt pad on the IWI site. Expensive, but I might have to buy one.
