Buy recommendations Backland Hunter Elite - Thoughts??

Yeah yeah I know it’s likely just another cope garbage rod…but let a man dream lol. Anyone think it could be decent?

Sounds like the elite features a heavier buffer and spring, as well as some changes to the bolt carrier. Could the improvements make this thing at least somewhat reliable out of the box?

Waiting to hear news on the reclassification process since the RCMP are working on rewriting the firearms classification system before I purchase anything that looks like that lol considering future bans could be happening

Fuck me, I didn't know the RCMP were rewriting it. Guess I can probably kiss my Homesteader goodbye. Or maybe just goodnight I guess? Since it'll be another 6 years before the government decides to try and take it? 

Honestly, I don't see how rewriting the classification could work with our current laws. There's no real way to ban something like the Homesteader but keep the SKS and Garand, our laws are just so fucking convoluted and insane since Trudeau dictated them. I guess they could just ban detachable mags and wrap in duckbill SKS, the Homesteader, while keeping the Garand still legal.
