IWI Carmel Features

The IWI Carmel is a semi-automatic rifle that was designed to maximize ergonomics for its user while offering all of the performance.  This rifle operates on a short-stroke gas piston operating system with a multi-lug rotating bolt - a design inspired by the Armalite AR180.  This rifle’s design takes inspiration from a lot of different firearms where the engineers cherry-picked the best features in order to create the best possible rifle.  This rifle’s gas system has two gas settings allowing you to reduce the gas flow to mount a suppressor without causing unneeded wear and tear, and the receiver has a full-length optics rail that allows the user to put any combination of optics without worrying about space.

IWI Carmel Capacity

The IWI Carmel is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 Remington) and according to IWI, this rifle can feed every AR15 pattern magazine that is designed to hold 5.56 cartridges.  This gives the Carmel a standard magazine capacity of 30 rounds since that size makes up over 95% of the market, but it can also feed the smaller 5, 10 and 20 round magazines.  If that’s not enough for your competition needs, there are also 40, 60 and 100 round box magazines that will work along with 60 and 100 round drum magazines that can easily be found on aftermarket support sites.
The IWI Carmel measures 26.75 inches long with its stock folded and anywhere from 33.75 to 37.25 inches long with the stock extended.  This rifle has an unloaded weight of 8.1 pounds, and this gives the Carmel the same overall length as an AR15 with about 1.5 pounds of extra weight.  This gives it a lower mobility score, however it does reduce the amount of felt recoil as well as help keep the rifle on target for a quick follow-up.  In addition to that, with its stock folded, it is much easier to stow as well as maneuver with as you climb in and out of vehicles.

IWI Carmel Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The IWI Carmel has a folding AND collapsing stock that allows users to adjust the length of pull to account for height and apparel differences, and this stock includes an adjustable cheek riser that ensures a proper sight picture.  The pistol grip that comes with the rifle is an improved AR15 pattern grip that pairs nicely with the ambidextrous safety.  While the bolt release is only on the normal side, the magazine release can be engaged from the left or the right, and the reciprocating charging handle can be swapped from the left to the right side without disassembling the rifle.  The handguard is a bit on the boxy side with its square cross-section, but that can be remedied with an M-Lok compatible front grip.


IWI Carmel Fit & Finish

This rifle, according to IWI, is “designed for minimum operator and armorer level maintenance” and has corrosion-resistant finishes on all of the steel parts.  The receivers, stock, and other polymer components are made of a high-strength impact-modified polymer that can take quite a beating and still come out swinging.  As of its release, this rifle is only available in black.
