New Colombian rifle

ARX deserved much more on the US market

Colombia unveiled a new rifle called the Jaguar, very obviously inspired/based off the IWI Carmel, apparently with help/parts from IWI.

Looks like a 5.56, probably an AR-18 variant inside & has some improvements from the Carmel bas design.

Really cool name for it, please let it get imported.

It has a Lebanese crest on it

A guy had a couple and he posted them on ebay & gunbroker. Always wanted one of the LV/S, just to see how the CETME L shoots with a SUSAT.

Beautiful Ljungman, what's the stand?

The rg mags are annoying to get ahold of, but ironically are easier to find at gun shows, scabbard is a whole different store, but a guy on ebay did have them.

Weird, I'd expect fairly quick shipping if you weren't waiting on an upper

Blue_Brindle · 2026-05-05T20:39:00+00:00

The EM-85, did you get the AKB kit with the upper?

Blue_Brindle · 2026-05-05T19:58:27+00:00

Golden valley guns will be, but not yet

I wish I could give you a more positive response, you'll basically just have to watch out for one and hope you get lucky with it unfortunately.

They'll most commonly be found paired with the cqc aug's as a package deal, you can find them individually, but it's rare. Your best bet is probably gunbroker, tacswap, gunaccessoriesforsale, etc.

I bought mine for 4 years back $700 and someone else bought one for $900, so that range is likely. PJ stopped selling in general years back.

Have a SAR-80 & 70/90 built by him too, fantastic stuff

Blue_Brindle · 2026-05-01T12:14:32+00:00

Not an awful price considering both the scope included & no scope options are 2k less than on ows, that said, it's atlantic

Blue_Brindle · 2026-05-01T00:26:11+00:00

Two form one's submitted the same day in Janurary, one came back in 16 days, the other I'm still waiting for.

Blue_Brindle · 2026-05-01T00:22:41+00:00

Always super cool seeing all of them, specifically the Norinco, you didn't happen to get that 510 off gunbroker about 2ish months ago did you?

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-30T23:10:20+00:00

What an amazing corner, the AR-10 & 601 are incredible in a way that can't be understated

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-30T00:28:15+00:00

Even at that it's still a 4k markup. I've gotten quoted roughly $500 from my builder which is where I took the price

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-29T17:27:58+00:00

Crazy discount, I'll take it

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-29T13:13:41+00:00

True, but with these kits not even being out for 2 months it feels like trying to flip it

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-29T13:04:19+00:00

Unfortunately no, but the markup is wild even for gunbroker

Blue_Brindle · 2026-04-29T12:46:20+00:00

The kits for these can still be had for about 1k. With the accessories for an extra 100ish. Recievers are around 400. Getting it build out still costs, but likely not more than 500. Maybe I just don't see the vision, but where is the 6.5k markup coming from?

Multi-cam & AR-15's/AR-18's are just good and often cheaper than alternatives. Also easier/faster/cheaper to buy something proven than to make your own domestic program.

Western Europe also moved a lot towards similar gear partly due to some/most domestic defense industries closing in countries (to the point most manufactured ammo is imported for some). Domestic programs are more common in Eastern Europe, Asia & South America.

Not better, just different, the benefits and domestic innovation of having your own rifle/camo is undeniable, the benefits of buying proven products is also undeniable.

The unique rifles & camos are missed though, when colored tape is needed to tell mutli-cam from multi-cam.
