i want a tavor or hellion, however they cost around $1,000

Prestige pricing most likely, or possibly high demand low supply.

yeah probably, on the official IWI website Tavor's are $2,000 MSRP. Hellions are about the same price everywhere I've looked

get a ruger 1022, turn it into AR

Buy once, cry once.

Where in god's name are you getting a Tavor for only $1000?

buds gun shop. i'm pretty sure it was used or refurbished

Whatever the case, used or not, that's a pretty good deal.

compared to the regular price yeah, but i don't even have $10

mostly because i'm in highschool, and because and secondly every time i get more than thirty dollars something i have breaks and i have to replace it, or someone needs gas money because we spent all our money on food

Oof, that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Also, I'm pretty sure you have to be at least 18 to buy a rifle anyway in most states.

in my state you gotta be 18 to buy rifles and ammo, but not to own them if given by a parent or guardian.

Unfortunately, my state isn't so lucky. In fact, it's racing to beat California and Connecticut for the title of the worst gun laws in the country.

sorry brother.
