The modern operator needs a rifle that blends proven reliability with configurable controls for both hands and a variety of mission profiles. The platform should be durable, simple to maintain, and adaptable for suppressor use, urban work, or range duties while staying within a practical price point.

IWI CARMEL is a combat-proven, innovative weapon system built to be durable and robust. This fully ambidextrous platform features a 16″ M4 profile barrel, a 3 position gas regulator, a flash hider, flip up sights, an adjustable folding stock, and one 30‑round standard AR-15 magazine.

Design and ambidextrous controls

The fully ambidextrous layout is a primary draw for operators who need left- or right-handed manipulation without changing technique. Ambidextrous controls reduce the cognitive load in high-stress transitions and make the platform more versatile for team use. The adjustable folding stock shortens the overall length for transport and tight-quarters movement while preserving cheek weld options for optics or iron sight use.

Barrel, gas system, and sighting

16″ M4 profile barrel

The 16″ M4 profile barrel balances velocity, maneuverability, and compatibility with typical 5.56 ammunition—offering effective performance out to practical engagement distances while keeping the rifle manageable in close quarters.

Three-position gas regulator and muzzle device

The 3 position gas regulator provides user-adjustable gas flow for harsh conditions, adverse environmental fouling, or when running an attached suppressor. The included flash hider mitigates visible signature and pairs with the regulator to maintain reliable cycling across configurations. Flip up sights give a robust backup option when optics are removed or fail.

Magazine and handling

The IWI CARMEL ships with one 30‑round standard AR-15 magazine, ensuring users have a common, readily available magazine format. The platform’s ergonomics and balance accommodate rapid manipulation and consistent follow-up shots, which matters for both duty and training scenarios.
