IWI Tavor SAR 5.56mm 18" Left-Handed Conversion Kit

The IWI Tavor SAR 5.56mm 18" left-handed conversion kit lets you transform your existing 9mm Tavor SAR into a modern 5.56 NATO rifle without replacing the entire gun. This is a full conversion solution, not just a barrel swap—it ships with everything you need to make the switch, including a purpose-built left-hand bolt carrier assembly, cold hammer-forged barrel, and all the small parts that make the platform run reliably downrange.

If you're a left-handed shooter who already owns a 9mm Tavor SAR, this kit opens up access to 5.56 NATO's superior range, velocity, and ballistics for hunting, competition, or general rifle work. The included 18-inch cold hammer-forged CrMoV barrel sports a 1:7 right-hand twist, a proven twist rate for stabilizing the full range of 5.56 ammunition. You'll also get an A2 flash suppressor to tame muzzle signature and a 5.56 NATO deflector with frame—critical for a left-hand platform to keep brass from bouncing off your face or gear.

The kit bundles in a Magpul PMAG Gen M3 30-round magazine with witness holes, a barrel wrench for safe, accurate installation, and a complete left-hand bolt and carrier assembly. Assembly requires basic armorer tools and mechanical skill, or you can have a gunsmith handle the swap. Once done, you'll have a true left-hand 5.56 Tavor SAR ready to run.
