I second that "flawless or falls apart". I have a late gen 1; only issue it's ever had is the nylon bushing shattering in -20 weather. I've heard many other stories of rifles that fell apart real quick. Guess I got lucky

Id recommend either gen 2 or late gen 1, though I'm not sure how you'd confirm if it's late gen 1 or not. Might recommend waiting a bit on the gen 2 if you have time so they can iron out the kinks

Don't forget about the Steriling Arms R18 apparently they're not bad (2.7k) or the CZ Bren 2 (3.3k) both are cheaper or the same as a Tavor if you like more conventional firearm layouts
