Tavor TAR21 slam fire malfunction, part 2, whole stage

Brand new TR21. Closing the bolt, it has been slam firing. Have been running 55 grain FMJ American Eagle and 62 grain FMJ Winchester ammo. Maybe soft primers? Soft primers or not, the firing pin is striking the primer. Shooter's finger is clearly off the trigger.

whats that dude holding next to him? seems like he's controlling something and must stay with him at all times.

@abzemer The guy following him is the range officer. He is holding a timer that counts each shot. This competition is based on time and every miss is a 10 sec penalty.

Can anyone tell me what would cause the TAR-21 to slam fire?

[devloran]

@dellthinker The cause was the floating firing pin design. Israeli Arms has now developed a civilian bolt that incorporates a spring on the firing pin so when the bolt slams forward the pin doesn't strike the primer. Everyone that bought the riffle was issued this civilian replacement bolt from Israeli Arms. This wasn't an issue for the military because they use mil spec primers (very hard primers) in their ammo.

Lol i thought you had an ND till I saw the description. What do you think of the tavor in terms of accuracy, trigger, cocking handle, bolt release, and balance. I am thinking of getting one.

@mcbain434444 . For myself, I much prefer the AR-15 M4 platform.  The Tavor is cool but after competing with the AR-15 for years, I kinda find it a pain in the butt with the location of the magwell and the lever to lock open the bolt on the bottom at the back. The price is a double for a Tavor then a AR-15. I find it quite heavy but that is good too b/c it absorbs the recoil, not that 223 has much anyway. Overall great gun, but I'd take my AR-15 to a competition anyday.

@dato666 no it sure as hell wasn't there's another vid of this much closer up to the shooter. His finger was straight as an arrow...NOT on the trigger.
