Shipped mine back on 12/13 and got back on 1/2. So really doesn't take long considering it was during 2 major holidays. Couldn't really tell a difference since getting it back. LOVE me some Carmel! 100% agree on the stock, that's the only real annoying thing I've noticed so far.
Purchased mine mid-December 2023. I have fired approximately 2,600 rounds through it and returned mine today (2/6) for FPSB warranty recall. After several failures to fire in a row, I pulled the bolt carrier group and the end tip of the firing pin blocker was broken off and fell out when I removed the BCG. The part of the firing pin blocker that is broken off is depicted on page 32 of the IWI Carmel manual and exactly where the arrow is pointing in the magnified blow out picture of the "Firing Pin Blocker", (and has a perpendicular dotted line across it). This is the firing pin blocker's point of contact with the top of the hammer assembly. Curious to see the design modification when I get it back. A Reddit user post read as follows: " From the work order IWI replaced: Firing pin blocker. Securing pin. Firing pin spring. Reworked gas regulator. "
I’m good! Really appreciate you asking. Have been working 12 hours a day 7 days a week for the past 2 months. Will be posting regularly again in February after my plant closes. 👍🏼
Carmel recall update: Received at IWI for warranty repair : 2/12/2024 Received Confirmation From IWI of completion of repairs : 2/19/2024 Received Back from IWI from warranty repair : 2/22/2024 From the IWI Repair Invoice: Firing Pin Blocker : PN# 027253304 Pin-Securing : PN# 007043107 Firing Pin Spring : PN# 027253004 Gunsmith's Report: "Performed recall procedures" Labor @$60/hr There was $0.00 charge for any parts or repair service I went to the range the same day and fired 60 rounds at 200 yards w/zero issues. Accuracy is consistent with pre-repair performance. I haven't had time to pull the BCG yet and check out the post warranty mods.

That’s good info to know. I still haven’t sent my wife’s Carmel back yet. Need to do that soon.
That's a bummer you have to send it back, what an awesome looking gun though. I hope you have a great weekend Brother
Thanks Chris! You have a good weekend as well bro!
I like that charging handle side swap. easy switch. Ike Turner 😂
I wasn’t sure how many would get that reference. 🤣
Smack it like it owes you money. Man I’ve been thinking hard on getting this. Look forward to the full review

Ok. Glad all is well. See ya soon.
It does everything an AR can do. So I'll just stick to my ARs.
