Makasi, Carmel, Both, or Neither?

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.

Im a neither guy . I know I’ll get dogged for saying this but until things are a little more stable I don’t have an extra 5K to gamble on two more possible safe queens . If they don’t ban these, awesome I can pick up the one with better reviews in a year .

This doomer mentality is equivalenty tiresome.

If another person tells me I should do the semi auto conversion on my MRA rifles "cuz dey gonna get banned eventually" ill shit on their shoes.

Provost is just the face/puppet/patsy

The true driving force is Marxism

If you're not dooming even a little at this point, you're either deeply asleep or retarded

Calling an oligarchical system “Marxism” will always make me laugh

[u/jwubadubdub → u/Prudent-Homework6245]

Every marxist system in history produced a protected ruling class. Oligarchs existing at the top of the hierarchy is entirely consistent with how marxism repeatedly manifests in practice.

The pattern is collectivist rhetoric, censorship, disarmament, erosion of traditional structures, centralized control, then a politically protected elite living above the rules imposed on everyone else.

Modern oligarchs using marxist frameworks and tactics to build a surveillance-heavy quasi-feudal system fits that historical pattern.

Surprised you can laugh without choking on sand 🙂
