Just watch, the RCMP will rubber stamp both the Elite and Backland Hunter with a prohib FRT entry in less than a year from now...

Yep. Obvious crusader QC issues aside, the same people who buy this are the ones who bought a crypto and were surpised when it was banned.
Crusader really making bank off the gullible.

some people just really don’t fucking care if it’s prohib or not. i don’t blame them. at some point you just stop taking this government seriously.

i always thought they were decent quality since they are like 2k$. so they are not so good?

Unless it's those people who bought the Crypto receivers as non registered AR15 variants knowing they will get banned.

Oh, I'm aware, but what do you think the first thing a conservation officer is going to use is to verify the classification of a firearm? The FRT... I'm sure they're not going to have time for you to explain to him that the FRT is not law, as he charges you anyway 🤣
It really sucks that the court of appeal in the CCFR case did not really address the whole FRT issue where de facto the FRT status is taken as gospel despite the courts ruling in that same case, as well as straight from the RCMP's mouth itself, it is a reference table, not a legally binding document.

Love to fire me some 8855 5.55 mm BALLL CARTRIGGES
If they put as much effort into the gun as they did the ad, you're in for a bad time.

The crypto was a solid rifle. Even the Templar gen 2 was solid too

Some people have modified their Backland Hunter by adding a pistol-grip stock from platforms like the Benelli M4 or Panzer Arms models.
It honestly seems like Crusader Arms followed the same concept — simply adding a different stock to the Backland Hunter and rebranding it as the “LOL Elite.”

Lol what's the double sided bullet for 😂

Clearly it's for the double ended mag, how else are they supposed to fit /s

u/MasterScore8739 Feb 26 '26
Ah yes. The good ol’ double poker. It’s twice as lethal so it makes it more effective when hunting medium sized game. 😉

Two strikes. 1. Likely banned soon, if semi auto. 2. Canadian guns equal shit quality. I will gamble my money with turkish guns.

Waiting for Türkiye to copy this design and flood the market at $899 plz.

u/BowFella Feb 26 '26
Hooray. What an upgrade. A pistol grip on a gun that still can't go one magazine without failures to eject or the action getting stuck or broken.
If I was the poor bastard in Ukraine getting a prohib I'd rather have a GSG .22 over this thing.

u/rastamasta45 Feb 25 '26
If this is real, as much as I hate crusader arms QC, I really appreciate the absolute commitment to the cause and our culture.
They just keep going and I absolutely respect that!

u/Most_Bath5811 Feb 26 '26
Found it on town post after some investigative work. Not sure if it's aftermarket upgrades done by someone or if this is an actual crusader offering.
"New Feature: an adjustable length of pull Pistol Grip Stock w/ cheek riser
Ambi Mag release,
Stronger Buffer/Spring,
One Piece Titanium Nitride Carrier
Captured trigger pin
refined magwell for fitment. "

What in the AI bullshit is this?! Asking all that money and they can’t afford to pay someone to mock this up or even bother to touch up the mutant cartridges or “spelling” on the ammo cans lmao

Cool stock and grip if that’s part of the “newness”. Maybe it won’t run like crap? Anyone know what the actual proposed differences are?

u/JaxIsLoud Feb 27 '26
Ai photo here but the product is real yea. Just a pistol grip stock slapped on. I don't mind the look but they were playing with fire before this will get banned in a few weeks.
Haven't seen a single good review of this gun that wasn't a promo video

I've never owned a Crusader Arms gun, is there anyone with feedback about this specific one? I have heard before (including this thread) that they are shit, but a semi-auto 556 would be fun. Turn-offs included their "proprietary mag"

u/Commercial-Ear-1962 Mar 22 '26
People have opinions even if they don’t own or have ever shot the rifle. I love my backland hunter. Functions and cycles flawlessly after 15 mins of mods, very fun to shoot, zero issues after ditching the stock mags. Expensive yes, but pay to play

They also decided to have some crazy obvious AI art for the backdrop instead of, you know, throwing the gun ontop of a trap with a bunch of bullets and calling it a day.
