Misc Mk15 or carmel

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 preordered Makasi first before switching to Carmel after seeing reviews on CGN

Tbh the quality of Maksi is wild. Paying 2k4 but they cannot do alignment of its handguard properly.

I will sure buy Makasi later if I have funds but if I need to choose 1, it will be Carmel

That's not the point. Why are you having to fix anything on a brand new rifle that you just paid 2.5k for?

sure, looks are subjective, performance is not. And yeah its a little more, but if youre buying a rifle thats almost 3k after tax, I hope nobodys changing their decision on what to buy over $100.
