Misc [Megathread] Makasi MK-15

This will be the place where all Makasi related discussion will be concentrated (until the rifle starts getting into peoples hands). We’re seeing a lot of repeated posts, hype, and speculation on sub right now and we want to try to keep it from drowning out the rest of the content you good folks are making.

We expect to remove this megathread once the rifle actually gets into people’s hands and gets some actual canadian reviews. In the meantime feel free to speculate, discuss your purchase/preorder or otherwise in this thread.

Why did the Liberal Party ban other semi-automatic rifles but leave this one out?

Let's be fair, neither are conservatives. All are shit. Remember that it's the RCMP that makes these decisions, not the party itself.

What? RCMP makes the FRT entries, the liberal party decides to OIC ban things and why we are in this shitshow. Rcmp already said this is a NR/R rifle.

In all honesty, probably just got missed when doing up the lists. They've done it in such a weird convoluted way that stragglers kept getting through. In spirit, the Liberals would love to have this banned, but I'm maybe being optimistic and thinking they don't want to deal with this file anymore and will just sort of quietly ignore the last few semis that are still around. I don't foresee more bans coming. Trying to be glass half full. 

Stoked to get mine. I'll sell my left kidney to cover the payments if I have to. I have been thoroughly enjoying my tacticool TM22 lately and await the arrival of it's big brother

That question is as old as time. Gun owners have been asking that since the 90s as to why AK rifles are banned, but SKS and Valmet was legal, or despite Marc Lépen using a Mini 14, they banned/restricted EVERYTHING but what the shooter used...
