This is convenient for those that need to release spring tension for storage or a spring change, but is a little bit excessive for those that adjust the hop-up constantly. Pressing the bolt release not only closes the fake bolt, but also resets the gearbox. One feature that is a trademark of S&T and Ares designs is the gearbox reset button. The ejection port cover can be swapped to the right side, but this will prevent direct access to the hop-up wheel. Like the real Tavor 21, the S&T replica has an ambidextrous ejection port.

The bolt release is located behind the magazine. The fake bolt exposes the hop-up adjustment, and locks open when the charging handle is actuated. The charging handle on this model is actuated by the support hand, and opens the fake bolt. The fire selector is easily activated by the strong hand thumb without breaking the shooting grip. The controls of the S&T TAR-21 AEG are placed well, for right handers. A section of sorbo pad or some other shim would tighten this up, as there’s no side to side movement. The space doesn’t quite hold the assembly tight enough, so there’s a bit of front to back movement. This piece sits on top of the body and is held in by the front receiver cover. The only place I found any play is in the scope mount rail.

The entire rifle body is a single piece, which gives it excellent rigidity. We’ll take a look at the internal components and the actual reliability later, but first we’ll check out the externals. With the TAR-21, S&T has produced an AEG t hat is fairly affordable, and still fairly sturdy and reliable. One question that persists is about the quality of S&T AEGs. However, many Ares rifles are released in a lower cost version by S&T, so this nomenclature will likely persist. S&T is actually a design company which does R&D for a number of different airsoft companies, including Ares. S&T is often referred to as an Ares Sportline. This stands for Compact, and denotes the shorter 15 inch barrel compared to the standard 18 inch barrel. While the S&T Tavor airsoft gun is often referred to as the TAR-21, the available model is actually a CTAR-21, or TAR C21.

With the arrival of the S&T Tavor TAR-21, and the second generation S&T TAVOR T21 with the metal gearbox, this awesome rifle is now available to almost any airsoft player. However, when a TAR-21 airsoft gun first came out, it was too expensive for most players to afford. The TAR-21 is one of the most recognizable bullpup rifles, and as such fairly popular in video games and airsoft. The Tavor TAR-21 is a bullpup rifle developed by Israeli Weapon Industries, or IWI.
