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.

I never looked but can it take .223 as well or just 5.56?

I only ran 556, didn't try any 223.

Think there’d be an issue? Just thinking because I have a bunch of .223 stocked up already

Might be fine. My ejection pattern with 556 was 2-3 o'clock, so its slightly overgassed.

Be aware, I'm not using the original barrel with mine, I converted it over to a Criterion Hybrid barrel chambered in .223 Wylde, so could be Apples to Oranges with the factory Nitride barrel. Gas port was the same between the two.

I noticed in videos most of theirs were going that direction, and i’v seen posts about the higher/lower gas adjustment on it as well. Guess we shall see
