    IWI Zion-15

    Just got the new IWI Zion-15.
    Obviously haven't been to the range with it yet but this feels like a excellent quality rifle.
    If you've purchased complete rifles from other big names (DD, BCM, Ect) you'll feel a familiar quality. All staking looks great including the castle nut. Upgraded furniture is a nice touch. This is my first time using the B5 grip wit texture and I LOVE it. I may like it more than the K2 that's on literally every other AR I own. Some of you might recognize the rail design.

    Thinking I'll probably move my Accupower over to this rifle for now.
    Also have some FCD goodies on the way already.

    At least they aren’t a dollar short

    EDIT: That may sound negative. I mean, though they are coming in long after the AR market had fully matured, it seems that they didn’t cheap out on materials.
    Looking forward to range reports. The price point is solidly under BCM and Colt.

    Hahahaha. The reason they started with an AR was to get a manufacturing facility up and running here in the US. And why not start with the most popular, best selling rifle in the country?

    Yeah, I was editing my comment when you sent this. I agree, probably a good choice on their part.

    What exactly are they manufacturing? The rail looks to be a custom design from Cross Machine & Tool, the furniture is B5 Systems, the upper receiver is a Brass Aluminum forging... The Firearm Blog claims that IWI doesn't make the BCG or the barrel, either.

    Just like a lot of AR-15 "manufacturers..."

    They must be busy. They are hiring assembly line workers and offering $13.50 an hour. I know assembling an AR isn't rocket science but it is hard to find hamburger assembly line workers for $13.50 an hour.

    My point exactly. Surely the OP is aware of this, but he's sure acting like he's not...

    seems like a very nice rifle coming in at a very competitive price point and feature set (stock, grip, rail, full-auto bcg). I'm sure it will sell very well if IMI will be able to get it to their dealers and store displays.
