If they were even a little bit close in pricing it would be true, but these days a lot ppl can’t spend that much on rifle. I can tho so suck it broke losers, I’m playing.

I have no idea how the RCMP even allowed this. I'm not complaining... Just very confused

u/SirKickBan Apr 19 '26
It makes sense by the RCMP's standards. Given its length, caliber, etc.etc.. They haven't been the ones making weapons prohibited for looking tactical.
It shares architecture with the FAL and AR15, but not to the point anybody making a technical decision would say it's a variant of either, given that it has (As far as I know) extremely limited parts commonality among its major components, like the barrel and receiver.
..That said.. It's probably going to be banned via bill or OIC at some point, because the RCMP aren't the only ones who get a say.

u/Infinite_Price_3550 Apr 19 '26
I agree with what you’re saying about limited parts commonality but the R9 got banned because it uses the same trigger as the AR-180 and that was enough to call it a variant. Even tho the R9 is a blow back operated. And I’m pretty sure the Makasi uses AR-15 trigger groups sooo 🤷🏻♂️

These were bans via OIC, not the FRTs they were given, unless you're referring to something else?

I felt the same about the Type-81. I suspect they have one employee who lets in cool shit before anyone else notices.

I wanted to start shooting 223/556 this Spring and was close to dropping the wad on a MRA Renegade. My mind was set, choices were made and I was very happy and at peace with myself...
Then this fucking thing showed up.

u/bosnanic Apr 19 '26
On the bright side you will still be able to shoot the Renegade in a year. I pre-ordered a Makasi but am 100% certain I'll end up buying a Renegade due to future events.

u/Status_Ticket5044 Apr 20 '26
I just wish I wasn't so imbued with fiscal responsibility and common sense. I absolutely know my brain would explode having all my eggs in this basket... and it gets banned, with my luck, while it's being shipped to me. I'd be mad at the world for a month.
One bright spot... wait on the Renegade for a couple of weeks. While the Canadian firearms buying public is pouring all of their new-buy money into these things, they'll be buying little else. It might drive the prices of everything else down a bit.
But not .223 or 5.56 ammo. Better get smart there...

There also a bullpup 556 in the works

You can't just drop a teaser like that and not tell us more

Murdoch and CO is producing a new semi auto versions to look like the L85 Rifle known as the EM85A3.

u/Relative_Risk_9476 Apr 20 '26
For like 5-7 grand I think, no thanks lol

u/JacobA89 Apr 21 '26
It wont sell if its much more than a Tavor X95. Has to appeal to the American market also.

u/Rookie_52 Apr 20 '26
I actually want a .308 version of the Makasi.

u/moonpie_888 Apr 20 '26
Yes that would have been the better option for this rifle 100% but ill take 5.56

u/Status_Ticket5044 Apr 20 '26
On the Brigade Mfg website right now. I want one of everything. Where have these guys been hiding?

As a wise man once said "don't be chirpin no SKS bud"

u/Murray3-Dvideos Apr 20 '26
Should replace the SKS with MRA Renegades or Turkish. 223s. lol.
The SKS still owns the Soviet / combloc rifle vibe.

u/Armedfist Apr 19 '26
In my opinion unless you have plenty of disposable income. Otherwise stay away from that new thing

u/DougMacRay617 Apr 19 '26
"Stay away from that new thing" sounds like somthing this government wants you to do.

u/escv_69420 Apr 19 '26
Welcome to guns lol. It took a century for people to be emotionally willing to drop .45 for 9mm.

u/Armedfist Apr 19 '26
Like I said. If you want to spend it go right ahead. It will get banned before the summer vacation in the parliament
2
u/Unknownuser010203 Apr 19 '26
So if they ban it, will they open up a 2nd compensation program?
8
u/TheRealTwooni Apr 19 '26
Does your heart really tell you this to be true?
4
u/Unknownuser010203 Apr 19 '26
Well if they ban it they at least have to make it look like they're gonna compensate people right? RIGHT?
8
u/Infinite_Price_3550 Apr 19 '26
Talk to crypto owners about that
0
u/Unknownuser010203 Apr 19 '26
That rifle was included in the compensation program, no?
5
u/TheBulletBuddy Apr 19 '26
Nope. Banned by name/frt ban
1
u/Unknownuser010203 Apr 19 '26
Yes but it was included in the compensation list so if a boot liker wanted they could declare it
4
u/Infinite_Price_3550 Apr 19 '26
R9 was added to the compensation list but NOT the Crypto.

u/Content_Sky_2676 Apr 19 '26
They'll give you what they're giving the first ban. $0.
3
u/Unknownuser010203 Apr 19 '26
Yes but a 2nd failed compensation program is an opportunity for us to humiliate them again
2
u/Nearby_Purchase_8672 Apr 19 '26
Hope it makes the sks price go down
4
u/bosnanic Apr 19 '26
no because they are not in the same price bracket.
Someone who can confidently drop almost 3k on a limited time item is not in the same demographic of those buying an sks. The SKS will still have demand from every new PAL owner because it is still under 1k.

u/ThatBigFuckoffTree Apr 19 '26
Not getting burned again. No more semi-auto centerfires for this guy.

It's worth it to have one! If things could just move on from where they see now that would be awesome. Stop more bans and let new things come into the country

The SKS will probably be back in the spotlight when the Makasi gets banned.
