    Also the IWI 12.5 has a mid-length gas system. The quality and features of this rifle (or pistol) are unmatched in the industry for the price point.

      Is mid-length gas system really fits such a short barrel?

      Now wondering what buffer should use for the suppressor. Standard is H1

      @@FrauFitzer yes. I weighed the buffer in ours and it came in @ 4oz’s. I have a sprinco red/white (contracted spring that is just a touch stronger than their white which is a standard carbine spring) and an rb5000 kynshot hydro buffer that weighs about 4.3oz’s. And without suppressor cycles perfect. I’m waiting on a tubbs 36 AND 42 coil flat wire on order….for when my ocl polonium is out of jail. But, I also have an SA agb ready for install with an FCD 6315rf and Ecco machine adapter. I’ll go as far as the tubbs 42+kynshot rb5000 for both on and off can. But the agb will take care of the fine tuning. Hope that helps. I bet you could run an H3 suppressed with a sprinco blue or tubbs 42. Unless you like A5 setup….i prefer carbine for the options offered

      @@jasongaudreau2075 thank you for your answer!
      In my country options are limited. First, I am still choosing the right suppressor. Then the only thing I might be willing to do (if needed) is to change a buffer weight, not a spring and not touching the gas system. I need my gun to be operated flawlessly with or without suppressor with the same settings.

    I bought a zion planning on upgrading to something “nicer” in a couple years but the time has come and I really don’t see a reason to. Fantastic rifle! Highly recommend even if you’re eyeing a higher price bracket.

    • @RustyStator
      @RustyStator 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@madeintexas1213 Not in my opinion, no. I was expecting weight just based on the fact that majority of firearms IWI makes tend to be heavy, but this thing is lightweight and very well balanced. I also own a PSA 11.5, and it has taken a backseat to the Zion. Just the overall feel and quality is a step or two above the PSA. The midlength gas system makes it more enjoyable to shoot.
      About 900 rounds in with zero malfunctions, and I was ringing steel out to 300 yards with minimal effort. I say if you're on the fence, just grab one. You won't be disappointed man.

    Dude I was just in the shop looking for a 1-4 or a 1-6 and you recommended this. I am always wary when someone sells me something this hard. Clearly you stand behind it and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you for your truthful feedback and recommendations at the shop. It’s nice to know the products you sell and recommend are products you use and love. I feel confident that whatever you recommend in the future is a product I can trust

    Great video been trying to decide on an ar pistol length from factory instead of the massive price tag of a mk18 and had been going back and forth between 11.5 and 12.5. These are sold out everywhere. You are the first to mention mounting the scope higher up interesting take.
