I just got my Tavor and I must say I love it. That said I am relatively new to this and haven't shot an AR yet. The trigger is stiff, but not bad per se. I will likely replace it with a new trigger pack once they become a bit more common.
That's one of the pros/cons: Ecosystems.
The AR has had a loooong time for a massive ecosystem of bits, bobs, parts, and mods to grow up. The Tavor has just started, but will likely be picking up speed as more people shoot and enjoy it.
I think you can add anything to a Tavor that you can put on an AR.
I think he means parts, you can order online every part of a ar15.
I like my AR, don't get me wrong, but I really dont see what all the hype is about them. Fun to build and tinker with but I don't think they are the bees knees of the rifle world.
FYI - you can buy some spare parts now from the IWI website. Essential bolt parts like firing pin and springs, pins, etc. You can also buy the complete factory trigger pack.

Perhaps if your AR was the same quality as your tavor it might make sense. You shouldn't really be having any malfunctions with a quality AR granted stuff happens but they should both run perfect.

Precision shooting with an AR can be done very well with a sling. Using a sling properly (at least the way I was taught) isn't really possible with a Tavor (that I've seen). That really applies to any bullpup though. Again, I'm no expert but that seems to be the big difference to me.
Well my AR isn't just a cheap build. Its got PSA, Daniel defense, and bcm parts in it. I just think the buffer spring I got from PSA was a little light. I'll find out next time I head to the range. But so far the gun has been picky about being dirty, cause it always runs fine after I clean it and lube the bolt carrier group.
