Which color did you get?
Magpul Pmags work great in the Tavor just make sure you get the most current version, the M3. The previous version M2/MOE will not drop free on an open bolt. Out of 20 M2 mags I had, 3 would kind of drop free. The rest needed to be pulled out. There is also a concern about the bolt hold open being slightly activated with a loaded M2 mag causing excessive wear and tear on the bolt and the hold open (google it if you want detailed info). I didn't see this with my M2s but considering the drop free issue and that Pmags don't cost much, I gave all my M2s to my dad and bought all new M3s for all my rifles.
Also the up coming Magpul D-60 Pmag, 60 round drum mag, will be the first drum mag that will be compatible with the Tavor. Because of how the Tavor's bolt is designed and how AR-15 drum mags normally work, this keep the bolt from closing on a Tavor with previous drum mags. Also the D-60 will be half the price. Most drum mags go for around $300 or more. The D-60 MSRP is $130.
If you don’t mind the stock trigger but would like it to be a little lighter, google on how to remove the secondary sear reset spring. It is easy and the best part it’s free. It will drop the trigger pull weight from about 11 pounds to about 7-8 pounds. The drop in weight was nice and I felt like I had better trigger control too. Supposedly there a few people saying that the trigger sometimes doesn’t reset properly and you have to do a manual sear reset (pushing the trigger forward) with this mod. I put a few thousand rounds through my Tavor with this trigger mod and had no issues what so ever. This included rapid fire and purposely inducing jams and double feeds for training purposes. A couple of on-line/YouTube reviewers have done this mod and also have reported no issues.
Other than Geissele; ShootingSight and Timney both make Tavor trigger packs. Timney’s trigger is single stage vice Geissele and ShootingSight being 2 stage. I’ve heard nothing but good things about ShootingSight’s trigger pack the TAV-D. However Timney's has had a soft primer strike issue with theirs which they have supposedly fixed in the Gen2.
Geissele’s trigger has 2 parts; the Tavor Super Sabra Trigger Pack and the Tavor Super Sabra Lighting Trigger Bow. They are meant to be run together but they can be used independently from one another. The trigger bow replaces the physical trigger up front and has an adjustment screw that reduces/eliminates the take up in the transfer bar. This makes it feel like an AR-15. Also the tactile feel of the trigger bow is very nice. The trigger bow was not bad to install but you do have to take off the barrel which is simple and easy (with the proper tools). Swapping out trigger packs on the Tavor is very easy. Pull two pins; move the bolt release out of the way and it slides right out. The only negative thing about the Geissele trigger pack is that the tolerances are much tighter than the OEM trigger pack. This makes the pins a little difficult to get in the first few times.
Damn I think that is enough for now.
