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.

The RCMP tends to be pretty reasonable with the FRTs they give guns when they're the ones making the decision. It's the later 'updates' forced by bills / OIC expansions on bills where the FRT classifications stop aligning with the law's restricted / non restricted guidelines, and instead look like a ban on 'scary' guns.

The law is as usual poorly written, because the people writing the laws don't understand what they are doing.

This they would call a loop hole, firearms designed and submitted to the RCMP for classification that they didn't name in the OIC list of prohibited because they didn't have a FRT number but because they were submitted before the 'ever greening' clause came into effect they technically by existing laws fall under the old rules and are classified as such.

They will need a new set of laws or another OIC to 'fix' this but until then this and other firearms submitted in the same time frame will be classified under the old system.

Yep. The commission thing they put together for the.. -I want to say the 2025 OIC? It even pointed out, correctly, that the current mishmash list-based prohibition system made Canada's gun laws one of if not the most complex in the world, and should be overhauled.

Unfortunately I expect we'll see that overhaul going forwards in the next few years with a Liberal majority, likely as a simple blanket ban on semi-automatics able to accept detachable 6+ round magazines, regardless of the year of production or design, possibly with a small handful of exceptions like the M1 Garand. A set of rules and a whitelist system, instead of rules and a blacklist, essentially, so that exceptions are by default prohibited instead of the current system where they're default non-prohibited.
