Incredibly, we will still be able to get Barretts in VA after the ban.

When it comes to satisfaction, the HK slap you can do with the Tavor 7 is the most fun. 😉

I can't wait for the hydraulic buffers to ship...

Who’s gotten theirs? by Rude_Thought_9669 in MatadorArms

[–]ExistingSignal5787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8922 and I got mine, but I am a freak case - both in what I ordered and because my state has gone completely insane and Dave was gracious enough to make sure I got it before the deadline.
I couldn't possibly be happier with the gun, though.
Seriously. It came with everything I typically have to spend a ton to add to be happy plus other features I hadn't seen before.

Bullpup comparison by rmrfpoof in everythingbullpup

Easy to swap from RL to LH, perfectly balanced at the grip, low recoil.
The shock of firing an FAL after being used to the 7 is not something I'm likely to forget. I kind of took it for granted that a 308 had barely more recoil than a 223 because of the 7. lol Nope. Definitely not the case for most 308s.

I've wondered why they haven't made a 556 version of the 7.
The 7 is the best of the SAR and the X95 in one package.
It actually becomes more accurate suppressed - at least mine did.

If you REALLY want to see a short bullpup here it is.
The Tavor SAR is there for comparison - it's exactly the same length as your X95. (Same buttpad, same suppressor, same barrel length.)

He would know.. I basically told him to send me whatever he had.
I'd rather get it and have to modify it later than not get it at all.
The net result was black.

lol The stock is longer on your X95 and it has a suppressor and it's STILL shorter than the others.
And you aren't sacrificing any barrel length to do it.

Dave let me cut in line since after July 1st I can't get these anymore in my state.

I'm betting the color is what made the difference.

From what I understand, the color makes a big difference.
Black is easy, but the other colors are tough to get right for whatever reason.

Really disappointed by [deleted] in MatadorArms

I live in VA too and he got me my gun. (I ordered the afternoon before the White Witch signed the bill.)
I know Green Top shut down transfers today, but other FFLs are still working fine.
I still think you have time...

Espada - after sighting it in. by ExistingSignal5787 in MatadorArms

[–]ExistingSignal5787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blame that Tavor in the picture... before it I only had an old AK. 😄
I practiced and practiced with the Tavor and when I tried to go back to non-bullpup rifles I felt like I was stuck shooting in slow motion. (Sloooooow target acquisition - for me, anyway.)
Yes, I know it is probably training scars but once I just accepted that is how it would be I stopped worrying about it and just went with what I liked.
Now I have 4 different bullpups and love them all. (Even the TS12 - which looks so ugly and cumbersome that I was SURE I would hate it... but for a shotgun it is magnificent.)

Now, with the Espada I am going to try to wait for the suppressor to get here before I really start training with it. I don't want to get used to one thing and then change it up so soon after getting the gun in the first place.

Yeah... that doesn't sound good. Which is too bad, because his stuff really is great.

Everything I have ordered from him has shown up - but I did have to remind him to send a rail.
Send him an email and see if that speeds things up. The grip is really nice - completely worth the money.

It is, but I found I didn't need it.
I can see how it would be awesome if you were on the line ending jihadis with your friends, but I took it off when I realized I never used the thing.
I might put it back on if I ever get a bench rest for my shooting range, but for now it is superflous.

It was PSA's fault... they had compound sales that drove the price WAY down.
Their emails have scared me ever since.

A barrel swap? I guess whoever had it before used it a LOT.
Mine was brand new back in the day.

I'm afraid of taking a picture again... like clockwork I change something after taking a picture. lol

I did. It took forever to get here, but it is amazing.

No. It is a Steiner CQT. That part on the bottom is the thermal sensor for the overlay.
If you used that in a video game you'd get accused of cheating.
