Templar failure

About 200 rounds through. Brass deflector blasted off at the same time as what looks like the piston shot out the front. First I've heard or seen this happen with a Templar, but I'm not thrilled.

Awaiting word from customer service. I don't want to say it, cause I really enjoy the Templar for what it is, but I should have just gone with the Bren 2.

(aside from this I enjoy the thing... Hoping I'm just the unlucky fluke.)

Are they the reason why Canadian manufacturers can't seem to make quality firearms?

Well, I mean, if Canadians had to compete with American manufacturing, then I think they would do better.

It costs a lot to start building and developing this stuff. Doesn't help that they could invest hundreds of thousands just to have it banned tomorrow.

That's fair, the constant fear/reality of prohibitions has forced manufacturers to jump from product to product following bans and forces products to market sooner than desired in fear of future bans,
