IWI Zion Z-15 SBR | 5.56 NATO | 12.5in

The IWI Zion Z-15 SBR is a compact, semi-automatic M4-variant carbine assembled at IWI US in Middletown, Pennsylvania. It pairs a 12.5-inch barrel with an 11.5-inch free-float M-LOK handguard, a B5 Systems adjustable stock and grip, and ships with one 30-round Magpul PMAG. The barrel is nitride treated and built from 4150 chrome moly vanadium, with a 1:8 twist rate suitable for common 5.56 ammunition. For a versatile optic under $1,000 that complements this platform, consider the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for close-to-mid-range shooting.
