Feets / Collection / My build Carmel setup

Just put the pieces together, havent shot it yet.

Feels fat and plasticky

Wouldnt be my first choice, but pretty good for what we have. I like the ambi controls and the adjustable stock

I think he's likely referring to the top mounted dot. I also prefer top mounted but the HOB math on this will definitely keep you on your toes! That being said I love seeing fully kitted out rifles on here so don't let folks ruffle your feathers.

Here's a word I've never used to describe a firearm before, but is an accurate description of the Carmel:

Tall.

FN2000: “I’m the bulkiest and ugliest of us all!”

IWI Carmel: “Hold my beer.”

How’s the weight ? Man looks beefier than the online ad photos.

u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 1d ago

Its lighter than it looks, probably due to the plastic. This is the 16 though

u/moonpie_888 1d ago

Ok bro we get it your wealthy

All jokes aside never seen a t2 being used as a red dot mount on a lpvo before.

u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 1d ago

Hm, its all over the gram and gun tube

u/iatekane 1d ago

I used a T2 on an offset mount with a LPVO for 3-Gun and worked great

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn 1d ago

Short barrel, this would be an R id assume

u/yummybunnybear 1d ago

You got yours already?

u/iatekane 1d ago

Short barrel looks like an IRG US import I would guess

u/GodsGiftToWrenching 1d ago

That thing is gigantic, gotta have thumbs as long as fingers to reach that tail cap on the surefire lol

2

u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 1d ago

Its not that bad, but yes, handguard is too chunky

2

u/NapsRNeeded 1d ago

I love that we have these.

Although it looks like you have to turn your head 90⁰ to look through that scope.

Would that be considered "Temple weld" ?

2

u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 1d ago

No, its pretty normal for lpvo. Cheek piece is adjustable up and down though.

u/Agent_Smithx2 Combloc best bloc 1d ago

Chunky, but if this is built and runs better than the Makasi, its pretty much a no brainer

u/arnold507 1d ago

u/saneboy 1d ago

u/moonpie_888 1d ago

Where are you guys finding the restricted versions?? I haven't been able to find them anyhwere

1

u/Even-Somewhere-9554 1d ago

Idk why people hate Carmel.

I love FS2000, Italian ARX series so I prefer Carmel’s appearance to Makasi’s one.

Plus Carmel comes from a reputable gun manufacturer who is making guns for armies not some guys with CNC machines in the garage

In fact we have pictures of Carmel prototype being used in military

Yeah it is chunky and big that is why I will put a micro prism 3x on mine not a LVPO

u/DistiIIer 1d ago

Is this the restricted or non restricted version ?

u/truthdoctor bc 1d ago

It looks heavy. How much does it weigh kitted out?

u/ConnectAd5999 1d ago
