Buy recommendations Makasi, Carmel, Both, or Neither?

Post image

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.

I put a stock photo of it into Gemini and changed out the stock and added some things I’d be putting on it and it becomes REALLY nice.

Okay that definately looks better than the iwi. I cant find what kind of stock you used for your image. Closest i found is the f5 gen 2 modular stock but still looks different.
