Duh Moment: The Israeli Travor Platform

Posted on January 16th, 2007 in Guns by Justin

The other day I was watching the Discovery Channel and caught a bit of a new series they’re running: Future Weapons.

On it they had a segment devoted to a new Israeli born weapon to replace their main battle rifle. The Steyr AUGs instead of desining your own…. Oh. Yeah.

Then I laughed at myself for my own stupidity.

Steyr-Mannilcher supplied firearms to the Nazis during WWII.

Yeah. I don’t blame them for trying to roll their own.

Kel-Tec’s Bullpup Price

I was way off with my hopes that they’d be coming out around $800. According to a post by Bill St. Clair they’re expected to start at around $2k for the carbine length version and then go up from there.

I’m really not so sure that’s going to fly.
