Tavor - Can I get one in 9mm without buying it as a 556 first?

[Guest mechanically]

I think I already know the answer here, but is the only way to achieve a 9mm Tavor to buy a 9mm kit and swap it into the stock 556 Tavor?

 

I'm not as interested in a Tavor in 5.56 for a variety of reasons, and the Tavor + 9mm kit = Mucho Moolah. Sheesh. 

 

Thanks all!

I've never seen them listed in any caliber except 556. Then of course the 9mm conversion as an addition.

How much are 9mm mags for them?

Rumor is that you will be able to in the near future.  There has been at least one factory 9mm Tavor reported over on the  Bullpupforum in this thread http://bullpupforum.com/index.php?topic=6914.0

 

Gear Head stated that it was a custom order.  Hopefully he can comment since he is on this board under a different name that I can't rmember at the moment.

I'll echo what Verne has said. Rumors are that they announced factory 9mm versions at the recent bullpup meet
