Gun and gear reviews Fresh Brigade Makasi Initial Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W7JWW_tgM0

Jay's Blades and Bullets gave a more recent initial review of The Brigade Makasi. When he first got it, it would not cycle, but he sent it away for Brigade Arms to fix, and they seemed to have provided him great customer service. He says it is a little less accurate than the Carmel with a little harsher recoil impulse but is lighter than an MCX with similar recoil. He did swap in a different single-stage trigger, so it is nice to have confirmation that works. He says the Strike Industries pistol grip that came with it is nice, and also like the slim, light handguard. He did not the FAL-style stock was heavy, so those wanting a lighter build may want to swap it for a less-hefty stock. Anyways, FYI. Thanks!

This is the only issue I have seen noted on forums and reviews so far. Any item will have the occasional lemon, I would suggest holding judgment until we hear of more bad examples.
