IWI Carmel Release?

[u/cdn_sentry117]

So since we know a bit about the delays on the Makasi MK15 with its QC issues, has anyone who went to Taccom or anyone who talks with North Sylva have any information on what's happening with the Caramel release date?I know my LGS said they were expecting them to arrive late August. But they have heard nothing in regards to any updates. Seems like the Redditors here have all the inside scoops

I think MK15 is arriving to stores end of October

I emailed North Sylva directly, they said they first shipment is anticipated to land on October 10th.

Thanks for the update

Im genuinely surprised they even replied and said that

[u/dannysmackdown → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

I am too, lol. I used my best manners and passed the speech check I guess. Was nice to hear confirmation from the source though.

[u/moonpie_888 → u/dannysmackdown]

they told me a week ago that they didnt have any delays for the order lol

[u/Tookan_ → u/dannysmackdown]

Just like how they were anticipated for August... Really hope another delay isn't going to be a repeat occurrence this time around, especially considering how close we are to Poly's potential annual grave dancing date window.

But hey, definitely a bit more hope than before if they're communicating this to customers directly. Still won't get my hopes up too high considering it's North Sylva after all.

[u/dannysmackdown → u/Tookan_]

Yeah, unfortunately it's really hard to say when they'll actually start to arrive in country.

For the Makasi or Carmel

I pre ordered NR a few weeks ago from Tenda. It said expecting mid-late August. I checked recently and it now says "mid October".

[u/cdn_sentry117 → u/Substantial-Onion-92]

My LGS has multiple on order. They were telling me they aren't very optimistic they will show up, they have had zero updates on when they are coming. The wouldn't take pre orders in the event they didn't show up, and too many people call and nag them asking where they are daily. My name is on a couple of rifles through them so I really hope they do show up

[u/DarkenemyxXx → u/Substantial-Onion-92]

If they do show up mid October and your on the back order list I’d bet more mid December into next year. I pre ordered about two months ago and I have no illusion of getting it this year .

[u/ConstructionOk4528 → u/Substantial-Onion-92]

Someone on insta said the pre orders for tenda are at about 1000 so if you weren't in the first couple shipmena you'll be waiting a while

[u/Cock_ball_dickin]

Idk about Carmel but from what I’ve heard mid October is the timeline for the Makasi

[u/Sad-Stop-2401]

errrr.... am i missing something? Isn't IWI Carmel already selling in canada?

[u/cdn_sentry117 → u/Sad-Stop-2401]

There were pre orders for it. I haven't heard of anyone getting one yet. These are also the NR version

[u/Sad-Stop-2401 → u/cdn_sentry117]

Ehhhh?

I think 313 Operator has a reddit handle here.

[u/dannysmackdown → u/Sad-Stop-2401]

I think it's the restricted version that they had directly imported but I'm not sure.

[u/dgod40 → u/dannysmackdown]

Yup. Restricted. He literally says it in the first paragraph in his post. "Mine’s a restricted-length version that I purchased through I Run Guns"

[u/cdn_sentry117 → u/Sad-Stop-2401]

His is restricted

[u/Banana_war → u/Sad-Stop-2401]

I think the restricted version is available. I haven’t heard of anyone have the nr right now.

[u/necros911 → u/Banana_war]

I got the Restricted version at end of July

[u/Even-Somewhere-9554]

It is ok. I am broken now. My preorder could take time to arrive as long as it arrives at all

[u/TheRealBlue68]

They have a new model coming out soon right ?
