IWI CARMEL18.6” Canadian non restricted rifle CSR18

[Jesus.C]

Why is so many people saying its ugly? It look like a g36, acr or a bit like a xm8. Anyway its either that or the makasi

 

[Big bore dinosaur]

Agreed^^ IwI dont care about looks , just function.. im glad it comes with a qautiltiy trigger.. no extra 500 buck for aftermarket is a nice touch..
Want 1 , but what will gen2 and 3 bring.?.
Have no need for another 556 at this price mark.

Because they find the plastic-shrouded Carmel to be less attractive to their eye than most other (or THE other) billet-machined offering(s) on the market. It is really that simple.

For some, form strictly follows function. Others prefer a rifle that speaks to them aesthetically, that ALSO provides exceptional function. The Makasi is more consistent with the latter option.....

Can someone give me a logic reason
This firearm is not in canada yet
This firearm will receive an FRT as a non restricted from the RCMP
If that is the case
What guarantees I have that this also will not be banned for the Liars
Give me logic not politics

Canada is full out of logic.
Canada went full retard.

Nope. Too ugly to be proud of, and way too fat through the midsection. I'll stick with the far more interesting blend of influences and the all-metal construction of the Makasi Rifle. YMMV....

I hadn't seen the MK15 before. It has a distinct FAL look to it.

I too find the Carmel kinda fugly.

I happen to like the looks of both

They are both unique rifles that appeal to me in different ways.

I'm buying both.

Agreed!

We became slaves when we coined 'safe queen' and became resigned to go along.

I don't really think so. I know there's guys taking their AR's out. It's only those of us who are tied to a licenced gun range that are forced to go along...for now. All rules are out the window come November when we're criminals anyhow.

 

[Boblo Rosscobar]

Already put money down for a Makasi now I’m wondering if I made the right choice

Truth.

If something doesn't change... they're about to make hundreds of thousands of people criminals.

For NO reason.

Save your loonies and buy both!

 

[Grove]

I mean, if you're content with a $3000 safe queen, have at it..

 

[vickers vanguard]

$7000 to the RCMP Firearms Lab

priceless …..

I thought the same initially, but as I read and watch more about the Carmel, I have to admit that it's growing on me....

If CGN is full of gun snobs, it's the counter balance to the fudd who thinks he's a crack shot at 800 yards and still working through the last box of ammo he bought in 2010.

And then there are guys like me - buy one of everything, keep the ones I like, and sell the ones I don't.
