Makasi, Carmel, Both, or Neither?

[u/yummybunnybear]

Both non-restricted 5.56 short-stroke gas piston semiauto accepting Stanag mags. Both taking orders with similar delivery dates. What is your choice and your reasons?

Edit: So to summarize what y'all are saying: - Makasi for AR aesthetics and compatibility, - Carmel for reliability, - Both if you hate money, - Neither because of potential bans.

Fully ambi (I'm a lefty), looks better and by IWI. I had an order for the Makasi but I asked the store to switch it to the Carmel.
