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!

The correct answer is always both.

I think the MK15 edges it out slightly IMO, but maybe 51/49.

If i had the money and if i were rich. Id get both, unfortunately im neither

Yeah fair.

I like the look / size of the MK15 a bit better, especially with an after market stock (Magpul or B5)

I’ve got a magpul ctr and Midwest industries buffer tube with the pic mount waiting for it lol

Nice!! I have a Magpul UCS on the way and tempted to get a B5 as well just to see what works.

I’m pretty pumped for it! Super pleased with the tube kit I found, wasn’t a fan of having exposed threads like I would’ve had if I just got a pic attachment and a separate buffer tube.. Midwest has one all attached as one piece though, looks super clean

Man - that is sick! I like that better than the UCS. I guess I’ll try to get one of those as well and see what works better.

Only place I was able to find it at for a decent price was canadiansafetysource, they should have 1 left in stock, had 2 before I bought mine
