Shitpost / Memes Got a PAL? Buy a FAL.

I think that pretty much sums up the sentiment of the week.

Record pre-orders have likely been made.

Anything could be prohibited by end of summer. Don't gloom.

At least this isn't the Crypto or R9 that came to market well before they had an FRT.

The fact it already has its FRT makes me feel more optimistic about it than if it didn’t.

u/Halo3Enjoyer9 Apr 16 '26

How that FRT got approved is the real mystery here

Risky af $2,400. More power to all those who are willing to drop this chunk of change on this thing for a few months-to-a-year of shooting.

Despite me wanting a thing like the Makasi, even just to have it, it would be so financially irresponsible for me to drop THAT much money on a thing... let alone something that would be OIC'd within a year or two.

But hey, some dudes and dudettes make a lot of money (or have poorer spending habits than me haha).

I got my eyes on some bolt-actions that appeared at Shot show to make their way here. Should be a lot safer

To be fair, this already has an FRT. the crypto didn’t iirc. If it’s using its own proprietary mags, it would theoretically fit into the bullshit rules of C-21.

u/VariousCheezez Apr 16 '26

It doesn't use proprietary mags though

u/EliteDuck Apr 16 '26

It was designed pre-C-21, so that doesn’t matter.

u/JustACanadianGuy07 Apr 16 '26

Nvm your right, i thought it used proprietary.

u/VariousCheezez Apr 16 '26

Still tempting tho
