Buy recommendations Makasi, Carmel, Both, or Neither?

Post image

Both non-restricted 5.56 short-stroke gas piston semiauto accepting Stanag mags. Both taking orders with similar delivery dates. What is your choice and your reasons?

Edit: So to summarize what y'all are saying: - Makasi for AR aesthetics and compatibility, - Carmel for reliability, - Both if you hate money, - Neither because of potential bans.

Team Makasi because I already placed an order and I'm too lazy to refund

I emailed the store I ordered from and they were happy to switch my preorder from Makasi to Carmel. No need to refund or anything else.

Yet ppl will cry about Tenda's service lol I don't get it, they're one of the best stores we've got and their customer service is stellar. Not saying you're crying about them btw just sharing your sentiment that they're easy to deal with.

Rudest service I’ve ever had in my adult life. They acted like I was the worst person they ever met for buying a shotgun from them in person
