IWI Carmel Review

[@TasteLikeChicken]

>5000 rounds through mine w/ an OCL OCM5 and a Vortex Strike Eagle 1x6 SFP. Any brand of 55/62/77 grain and even .223 with zero issues. Cool to see one with a Recce setup. Shame that so many folks run these with 1x optics because it drives nails at 500 yards, (range limitation) all day long. When I find some long land, I'll push it out further. I removed the cheek riser and now the glass to HoB is perfect for me. I'm glad that you completed the recall service. The firing ping safety block redesign is very interesting. I have several post on my channel if you'd like to here the can. I don't know the MOA "precision" and I don't care. It places ping after ping on a 5" IPSIC at 300 yards and that's 🙂 for me. You've got to get one of these things man. Absolutely, unequivocally top tier system.

I probably will get one, but I want an SBR version of it. Good to hear that you’ve 5k through yours. There isn’t a lot of info out there on these yet. I’ll definitely check out your videos!

Damn I feel bad now I have a pa 1x prism and with a magnifier on the way should I just do the lpvo? What mount are you using if you don’t mind me asking

I really like this I was excited to sit down and watch this when it popped up this morning. Great review and I hope you have a great Sunday

[@sacrificialscience4405]

Thank you Chris! I really appreciate it. You have a great day as well!

This rifle reminds me of the bushmaster ACR

[@sacrificialscience4405]

I can see it. Especially the stock

[@sentinel208]

If you're considering another 5.56, perhaps consider the Galil Ace in 5.56 or the 14" Bren 2MS pistol and do a form 1 SBR. You wouldn't be disappointed in either one.

[@sacrificialscience4405]

We’ve got a Bren 2 with an 8.3 barrel. I wouldn’t mind getting a longer one that would suppress better than the short barrel one. So many decisions. 🤣

[@sentinel208]

@@sacrificialscience4405 I watched your video on the Gen2 Galil Ace in 7.62X39 and figured that if you liked that platform then the 5.56 version might be just the ticket. That said I currently own 4 Galil Ace's (Gen1) an X95 and 3 Bren 2MS's. Of those I have to say that my 14" Bren 2 MS that I Form 1ed (SBR) is probably my favorite followed very very closely by the X95. The X95 though it's a great, compact & superbly balanced rifle is just on the weighty side when compared to my 14" Bren 2. Not sure if you've seen it yet but take a look at TFB's latest torture test of a Bren 2 at the CZ factory. ua-cam.com/video/ppt8HFqWtjs/v-deo.htmlsi=v-je8tTv8KXDtevr

@@sentinel208 Appreciate you checking out that video too! I’ve looked seriously into an Ace Gen 2 with the 13 inch barrel. The Galil is such a solid gun.

[@TNTactical]

Short stroke or long stroke piston? Jakl was really front heavy... Is this one balanced?
Does it take standard AR drop in triggers?
Very good video dude. I want one

[@sacrificialscience4405]

It’s pretty well balanced until you put a can on it. She’s a bit front heavy though. It’s a short stroke system. Not 100% sure about the trigger compatibility. Looks AR-esque, but can’t confirm if it’s interchangeable. If I buy one, it will get a shortened barrel and be SBR’d. She likes it the way it is, so I’ll leave hers alone. Lol

[@anthonybombaci5266]

Doesn't take AR triggers. Proprietary trigger group - AK-ish

[@sacrificialscience4405]

@@anthonybombaci5266 good to know! I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the info.
