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

Thanks for doing the honest reviews for the Canadian Gun Market

How are you getting it before everyone else?

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.
