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

To me it matters nore that they exist, i want an sks but as they are the only semi auto on the market, the prices are crazy. But having hight end models available let the people how can get those gun by them instead.
Tldr even tho it will be expensive I am happy because I think it will drop demand on the sks
