I’ve got a Makasi pre ordered but I think I’m gonna go for one of these instead. I know it’s gonna look a little goofier with the longer NR barrel, someone will make a reverse fake can for it if there isn’t one that’ll fit already to help with the proportions

Maybe, being restricted versions, theyre not in as high demand.... who knows. I wouldn't buy a restricted rifle..

The 16" version is the minimum barrel length for the US market to avoid needing to register it with the AFT; but is restricted in Canada so has much lower market appeal

There is also possibility of longer aftermarket hand guards which would make it look less goofy with long barrel.
