Umarex Tavor Sportline. Yeah, its the non blowback, short barreled, ABS receiver rather then the Fibre one. But it has the metal gearbox and only cost 75 quid shipped!
If you want a Tavor and dont want to spend much then this is the one.
Best Tavor is either the Elite Force CTAR which isn't sold outside the US (made by S&T) Or the S&T tavor professional in the UK.
The Umarex is just a rebadged S&T Explorer Tavor.
Ares have released a new Tavor which has the Amoeba gearbox but its very expensive and I haven't heard anything about them myself. The Ares externals are better then the S&T but have more proprietary internal parts.
Also the allergy was reported on reddit. But it was unlikely caused by the rifle alone. If it really was the rifle then they would have technically been allergic to their own body fat. I get rashes when I am very sweaty and it's a hot day rubbing against plastic.
So my search for a cheap as chips Tavor has ended. Unfortunately it had to be a Umarex branded one with the plastic fantastic receiver and metal gearbox rather then an S&T Nylon fibre pro jobbie.
However this was very cheap at 90 euros shipped from France!

1X Umarex Tavor Sportline.
Here’s my MTR, all finished for now mainly cosmetic stuff done to it, with just a modify tan bucking and sixG nub internally.
Replaced broken MTR stock with a MFT Battlelink, fitted Magpul K2 grip, PTS Radian Raptor charging handle, BCM stubby grip and MLOK rail grips up front. UTG scope mount with vision king VPO on top.
