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?

Confirm if it has an FRT number and what its classification is. Local manufacturers don’t have to get pre-approvals or classification before selling a new product. Many bought the crypto and the Sterling R9 only to be classified as prohibited few months later.

This doesn’t mean that RCMP won’t reclassify a gun as prohibited if ordered to do so by Quebec girls. But the odds seem less if it has been already classified as non restricted.

i'm fairly sure the crypto and R9 had FRT's. It doesn't matter if they do or don't, these guys make up the rules as they go
