Misc Makasi (FAL-AR hybrid) approved by the RCMP as NON-RESTRICTED

Post image

According to CGN it was granted a NR FRT #198428 very recently. Any BFL/verifiers here care to check?

Edit: Multiple BFLs have verified it to be true NR, and the importer/distributor is Gravel Agency

From the manufacturer's website:

The Makasi marries the functional aesthetic of the FAL with the familiar handling of AR-style controls. It features a short stroke gas piston system and bufferless recoil system and operates with a non-reciprocating side charging handle. The Para-style stock is also side-folding and is supported with a robust two-screw mounting system that allows for firing in both the folded and deployed positions.

How many poeple got bit by buying a semi-auto rifle which got banned out of no where within months, if not weeks?

Who wants to try their luck again?

This manufacturer didn't even TRY to make a version like Alcor did, with wood and stock/etc to make it more "hunting-rifle-ish".

It doesnt matter what they do, they want all guns doesn’t matter if it’s wood or looks like a hunting rifle

So what do you suggest? We pander to their ridiculous "black gun scary" and just use traditional looking guns until they decide those gotta go too?

You offer the non-threatening, hunter friendly variant first.

And then go for the gucci tactical package later on.

I honestly don't know what kind of wizardry this is that it somehow dodged every single "variant" curse in history to be recognized as a distinct firearm.

It's also designed pre-C21 so there's that.

They're not making this for the Canadian market specfically.
