Gun and gear reviews Question about Makasi MK-15

Do y’all’s think it’s worth it? Rn all Canadian stores are pre orders so should I get it from the US and ship it over. Any extra info for a new owner would be greatly appreciated

If someone is getting an R copy from IRunGuns of the Makasi, Third Echelon is still lightly active making Homesteader parts.  In order to see if his mid-length WK pistons would work with the Makasi, he needs measurements from the piston and piston socket. His email is operations at thirdechelon dot ca.   I believe he's in the Edmonton area if someone needs assistance re-barreling their Makasi with an NR barrel from a firearm with a carbine-length gas tube from another firearm, even if the mid-length piston doesn't work out.  FYI, I'm not affiliated with him, just remember him providing parts back in the WK days.
