Feets / Collection / My build IWI Carmel 16.5" with faux suppressor

Post image

As titled. It is not as heavy as people thinks.

For reference, I used to run a PEQ15 on a 16.5" Bren 2 and they ran very similarly weight-wise as the PEQ15 was an extra lb on the Bren.

I might take the faux suppressor off after some range test.

Edit: It is about 10.5lb as it stands. I do have a Surefire Scout light on the other side. Without the faux suppressor it is about 9.7lb. I rather suffer additional weight to not see the pencil barrel.

Idk why people are bitching about weight, it’s a valid consideration. Especially if your end goal is to build the one rifle + all the kit required. You gotta be fit, but the old adage is that ounces = pounds = pain. Saving weight where you can is important, mountain hunters know this well.

Nice rifle OP. Please mag dump into trash for all the homies with their rifles on lockdown right now.

This is why I love the su-16. Things hilarious, 6lb kitted out with a mock suppressor adding over half a pound on its own. Under 5lb bare bones
