Probably close to what the Magpul Masada should have been.

Pros:
-light
-folding stock
-adjustable gas system with standard and suppressed settings
-STANAG mags
-true ambi controls with a quick change, ambi, non-reciprocating charging handle
-CHF barrel
-plenty of Mlok railestate
-4.5# trigger

Cons:
-no user barrel swaps
-tall height over bore
-proprietary trigger pack
-MSRP $1800

I might bite if it had a user replaceable barrel and AR trigger pack. At $1800 I’d go with an MCX Spear LT if I wanted an AR alternative.

-light

8 lb 2 oz for a 16" 5.56×45mm barrel rifle doesn't seem very light to me. At least that's what the IWI USA page says (https://iwi.us/product/csr16/), not sure why the guy in the video says otherwise, but even 7 and a half lb isn't exactly light.

The PSP pricing will likely be under 1500 USD, if IWI maintains their standard 20% discount.

At $1800 I’d go with an MCX Spear LT if I wanted an AR alternative.

At $1800 I’d buy as many Spears as I could for resale.
