Buy recommendations Carmel barrel length

Post image

Is this really how long the IWI barrel is or atleast how it looks on the gun. This is on CRAFMs website.

So ugly. Makasi wins imo in looks alone

When you shoot all 5 rounds you can flip it around and smack people with the Ugg Boot stock.

At least the Mk15 uses a pic rail stock, which is honestly a pretty big plus in my opinion, as you have a huge variety available then, and can even run a buffer tube if you want to. Wider selection of stocks, and able to fold, vs the Carmel which just folds. 

It does look like the Mk15 also uses standard AR handguards (uses AR barrels so I assume barrel nut and handguard are also AR compatible).

Just seems like the Mk15 offers more modularity and modifications. I believe in the US is was also advertised as caliber swappable, although I could be wrong, so a 300BO conversion or x39 seems feasible, not sure if the Carmel would be as easy to mod with all the molded parts.

Both are still sweet guns though. I'm stoked to have both coming in, but only placed an order for the Mk15 since I order it's looks and heavier barrel.
