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!

Why would they make a FAL that’s not in .308?

I don’t want a peasant cartridge glorified .22

Because it's cheaper to shoot, so there is more of a market. Hopefully if there is enough business, they will make a big bore version. They do have 300 Blackout and 7.62x39, but I don't know if that is covered by the FRT.
