Hey guys. Birthday is coming up soon. Looking to purchase myself a birthday gun. Im having a really hard decision whether to get the mk15 or carmel, i have been leaning towards the mk15 but i’ve also been liking the looks of the carmel. Please help!

I’d go with the Carmel personally. I trust an IWI product more than a smaller independent manufacturer. Carmel was made to compete for a military contract, so it should be well engineered. Seems to basically be an X95 reverted from a bullpup to standard configuration. From what I’ve seen on CGN makasi is already giving me WK-180 or BCL Siberian flashbacks.
