IWI US
The IWI US Carmel CSR16 is a 5.56 NATO semi-automatic rifle built for shooters who demand reliability, modularity, and rugged performance in the field. Built around a short-stroke gas piston system and cold hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel, this 16-inch tactical rifle delivers the accuracy and durability you need for training, sport shooting, or home defense—without the maintenance headaches of direct-impingement systems. The Carmel's fully ambidextrous controls, monolithic aluminum receiver, and M-LOK accessory slots make it equally at home in the hands of a left-hander or right-hander, and easy to customize as your mission evolves.
IWI US engineered the Carmel for real-world conditions: the short-stroke piston runs cleaner and cooler, the free-floating barrel supports consistent accuracy, and the rotating locking bolt locks up tight. All steel and aluminum parts are corrosion-resistant, and the impact-modified polymer furniture withstands abuse. The 2-position gas regulator lets you tune the rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed fire, adapting to your setup without breaking the gun down. At just over 8 pounds unloaded, the Carmel balances control and maneuverability—light enough for an afternoon at the range or a longer day in the field, yet substantial enough to manage recoil and stay on target.
Field-strip and maintain it like a pro: the ambidextrous charging handle, safety, and magazine release mean you can run the gun hard regardless of your shooting hand. The side-folding stock collapses for tight spaces or vehicle carry and extends smoothly for a full cheek weld. With M-LOK mounting at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, you can bolt on lights, lasers, grips, and covers exactly where you want them. Ships with a 30-round Magpul PMAG Gen M3 window magazine and accepts any NATO-standard 5.56 steel, aluminum, or polymer magazine.
