Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key benefits of upgrading the IWI X95 with the Manticore Arms Cantilever Forend?

The Manticore Arms Cantilever Forend upgrades the X95 by free-floating the barrel to improve accuracy, raising the optics rail to an AR-15 height for better cheek weld, and adding M-LOK slots for accessory mounting. It replaces the standard polymer handguard and optics rail.

Why is the Elcan Specter DR 1-4x considered a high-end combat optic for the X95?

The Elcan Specter DR 1-4x is a high-end combat optic known for its exceptional clarity, a toggle lever for instant 1x to 4x magnification, a 24-degree field of view, and extreme durability, making it suitable for demanding tactical applications.

How does the bullpup design affect the balance when using a suppressor like the Innovative Arms Deception on an X95?

On an X95 bullpup, the weight of an attached suppressor like the Innovative Arms Deception is shifted closer to the shooter's shoulder. This configuration enhances the overall balance of the firearm compared to mounting the same suppressor on a traditional rifle.

What is the purpose of the Phase 5 Mini Handstop when installed on an IWI X95?

The Phase 5 Mini Handstop is designed to serve as a barrier brace and to prevent the support hand from accidentally moving too close to the muzzle. It aids in maintaining a secure and safe shooting grip, especially during dynamic movements.
