IWI Unveil Steel Sights For TAVOR And X95 Assault Rifles

Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) has launched a foldable, detachable, stainless steel sight designed for the TAVOR and X95 families of assault rifles.

The sight can be quickly and easily removed in order to install reflex sights, telescopes, night vision devices, etc.  Enabling night shooting via built-in Tritium illumination, the new stainless steel sight can be ordered without Tritium lighting, in order to meet specific local regulations. Cost-efficient and reducing maintenance expenses, each sight can be individually replaced when needed. Calibration is easy and user-friendly, requiring no special tools - and is unaffected by sight detachment.

IWI's TAVOR family of Assault Rifles was developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which has a bull pup configuration, a barrel length and weapon size that cover all soldier's fighting ranges - from 500 meters to indoor operations, fighting from vehicles, urban areas.

The X95 (Micro Tavor) - which can be used as an Assault Rifle, Carbine, or Sub-Machine Gun (SMG) –a standard Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Assault Rifle, and is the only weapon available with 3 different calibers. Incorporating advanced technology that allows the conversion from 5.56mmx45mm caliber to 9mmx19mm caliber to 5.45mmx39mm caliber and vice versa, Special Ops can use the same weapon platform for a wide array of scenarios, thus saving training time and spare parts, and reducing overall costs.
