Hey bro,
Three things:
1. Tavor is not cheaper than Bren: In fact it is one of the most expensive bullpups out there.
It costs $2600 for semi-automatic civilian version in USA, with MARS sight. India paid over $6000 for each of them with sights, spares and accessories.

I dont know the cost of professional versions ....................I am comparing cost of civilian version of bren & civilian version of Tavor .(without accessories ) .
according to firearm Blog MSAP of Tavor is 1999$

but is is available in the Market @ 1586$ http://www.quanticotactical.com/asp/itemDetail.asp?dispItemNum=5199&type=C&subCatNum=30&CMN=Rifles
according to official website , MSAP of civilian version of Bren 805 is also about 2000$ ,
i think cost of bren 806 & 807 will be around 2000$ [/QUOTE]
2. Tavors are not made in India. Zittara - OFB produced version of 9mm X-95 (version of Tavor) is lumbering along and may come out of OFB some day. Sad but true despite what mighty OFB claims on their crap website.
3. Tavor is not used in IA as widely as one would hope. It's limited to Para, CRPF, MARCOS and few SF battalions. Bren will be standard issue for Paki.
thanks bro for the Information ...............if it is not Inducted in Large NO. then License production will be costly ........& Importing few riffle is a better Idea .

I Hope Private Indian companies can develop a world class riffle .
