IWI Tavor X95 XB16 5.56 NATO 16.5″ Black

About this product

The IWI Tavor X95 XB16 is a civilian-legal semi-automatic bullpup carbine built around a compact, modular platform. Designed to shorten overall length without reducing barrel length, the X95 places controls and a full-length top rail within easy reach while retaining the familiar AR-15/M16 magazine interface. Key mechanical features include a cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel and a gas piston system for consistent operation. The rifle’s configuration and integrated backup sights make it suitable for compact duty, close-quarters work, and range use.
