Considering how flooded the market currently is, wonder if this would sell well in this country?

"The rumours have been doing the rounds for a while but Israel’s IWI has now announced the introduction of their new AR-pattern rifle, the ARAD. The ARAD uses a short-stroke gas piston operating system rather than the AR-15’s direct impingement system but shares many features with Stoner’s iconic rifle."

Why not? Wonder if it could make it to the market here before any idiotic legislation might get passed though.

So.. They made a piston LMT MARS-L and slapped their name on it?

Don't get me wrong, more options is almost always better.. but it does get old seeing companies use someone else's design and then market it as the new hottness.

I had the same thought about it being a ripoff of LMT's MRP rifle.

So it looks like a SCAR with a non folding buttstock. Anything I'm missing?

Doesn’t look terrible. Lol at rear buis.


But alas, I just want real 416s

You know what to do. You just don’t wanna do it

I’m not opposed to paying off someone overseas and having the upper shipped to me.

I’ll continue buying LMT. No interest in Israeli firearms. None
