So I've been having some issues with my tavor. It's failing to eject or extract....everything from not extracting/ejecting to stovepiping to damn near seizing up the bolt. Could this be a small problem with the break-in? Anybody else have any problems like this?

Did you clean and relube after taking it out of the box?
What mags and ammo?
I ran USGI and PMAGS with 55 grain Georgia Arms after cleaning and lubing with Hoppes.
No issues here.

I've used the issued mag, USGI mags, & pmags. I've also been using winchester & remington 5.56 55 grain. Though I have a habit of running my weapons dry (no lube), think that might cause the problem?

Try it with lube and see if there are still issues.

I'll try it out today. Thanks chuck, lol, that really is a dumb thought for me, I just prefer to run all my pistols and ARs with no lube and have never had an issue.

Make sure you are running quality ammo and not some crap hand reloads or steel case stuff.  If it is still malfunctioning on good quality brass case ammo when lubed then there is an issue.

I never use steel case unless it is the milsurp for my Mosin 91/30... I just don't trust it, and I don't trust most people reloading.

well, it's official. I feel like a jackass for not lubing it. I picked up some m-Pro 7 lube and it worked flawlessly...guess I gotta baby the rifle during break-in and fine tune it.

You should never run weapons dry.  You don't run a car with out oil either, do you?  

Oil reduces friction, heat, and wear on metal to metal contact surfaces.  There is a reason you lube your weapons.
