Description
Product Overview
The IWI US CARMEL is a semiautomatic rifle built around a reliable short-stroke gas piston system and locking rotating bolt. Its cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel measures 16 inches and is designed for consistent accuracy and long service life. The rifle combines an impact-modified polymer body with corrosion-resistant metal components, an adjustable side-folding stock, and fully ambidextrous controls. A two-position gas regulator provides regular and suppressor settings, while the monolithic top rail and M-LOK accessory slots support a wide range of optics and accessories. The CARMEL accepts NATO-pattern 5.56 magazines in steel, aluminum, or polymer construction.

I can't believe how...
I can't believe how much the price came down on the Carmel I had to get it. This is my third IWI purchase and just like my last two the Carmel is solid. It may be my next favorite battle rifle. Was shipped promptly. Buds is the absolute best!

IWI has a reputation...
IWI has a reputation for exceptional firearms that are a bit unique, such as the flagship Tavor. The Carmel is a fairly recent product (at the time of this review), and it lives up to that reputation with ease. The rifle features a polymer lower and stock, which is foldable, and adjustable for length and cheek height. There are two QD sling mounts, left and right, where the stock folds. My only complaint about this rifle is the lack of QD mounts on the buttstock. Instead, there are left and right side wire loops. Safety, mag release, and bolt catch are all ambidextrous. The charging handle can be swapped left or right side. And a final feature worth mentioning, it has an adjustable gas system for suppressors. Note that the Bud's image is not correct. Match the Bud's listed manufacturer part number on the IWI website for correct photos. The proper version has a metal handguard with several MLOK spots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. It is not a small or light rifle, but it feels good and is a joy to shoot.
