Damn that Carmel is not the best looking gun lol

u/yummybunnybear 1d ago

I don't like how it looks but I'm so glad it exists

u/ExplorerEnjoyer 1d ago

A gun being ugly is half the cool factor. And at least the iwi functions

u/Neat_Imagination2503 1d ago

I dunno the x95 I lost in a tragic boating accident looked sick

u/ExplorerEnjoyer 1d ago

Definitely giving 2000s sci-fi space rifle vibes

Lmfao its hideous

u/jollygreengiant1655 1d ago

Meh, different pews for different folks.

I actually thought the Carmel was the better looking of the two in that pic. The makasi doesn't look good in that grey colour, and I still don't like the stock on it.

I saw a guy posted one with a buffer tube adapter on a Mk15 and I think it looks pretty good with a buffer tube on it and collapsing stock.

I also really like the look of the Backland Comp, but that might just be cause I love top charging handles, and own a BH Comp. I saw they're releasing a new FDE cerakoted one this week.

Natalie's Nightmare. I wouldn't even mind some tax dollars going towards improving her mental health.

. As long as it wasn't in the form of furthering gun control. Also, if we gather enough nuts for the winter, maybe Gary will leave us alone too.

Beyond the memes, it's clear that she has genuine untreated PTSD. You can't leave these things get the best of you and become your whole personality.

It's like weed smokers that make it their entire personality, but just much more depressing. I'll gladly shit on her for the non sense she says, but I hope she gets help one day. PTSD is no joke.

u/Appropriate_Tart9535 1d ago

Thank you for coming at this with a humane approach, femicide and violence towards women is a genuine issue in the world. As a veteran with PTSD from the military due to the constant sexual harassment and violence i faced its tough.

Surviving a mass shooting is awful. But time and time again has shown bans just don't work. Instead education and tackling the underlying issues of WHY mass shooting happens would make more sense.

Now for my tin foil hat stuff, I would not be surprised if she is not the "token" woman of the liberal party to push this de-arming of the working population in canada as material conditions deteriorate and the wealth gap increases.

  Now for my tin foil hat stuff, I would not be surprised if she is not the "token" woman of the liberal party to push this de-arming of the working population in canada as material conditions deteriorate and the wealth gap increases.

But why would the wealthy want us fighting amongst ourselves instead of solving the issues of rising inequality and a lower standard of living for the average Canadian?

You’re crazy.

u/greendoh 1d ago

It's rough. Mental health is a son of a bitch.

So are politics - they tell us the crazed murderer was Marc Lepine and not Gamil Gharbi (his birth name) because from day 1 this was politicized.

Do we feel bad for the murderer who was abused by his father? Raised in a disgusting version of Islam that treats women as chattal?

I don't - I do feel bad for the victims - and without the ability to blame someone or something they've fixated on the objects that revolved around their trauma. I get it.

The government went along with it - not because they care - but because they were living in the shadow of Oka. That uprising led to the AR15 being restricted - the mini 14 that Gamil used was non restricted up until recently - that's all you need to know about the relationship between our government and Poly - formerly the coalition for gun control.

I mean outside of the fact that the Coalition received $250k in funding from the Liberal government in the 90's and turned around and made a $250k donation to the LPC (before limits were introduced) so it was all a scam from the get go.

Just an old man ranting at the clouds at this point, but it's sad what these women went through (and how they've been manipulated).

u/Medical_Bluejay_7506 1d ago

The funniest thing about her is she lives next to one of the most armed communities in the country.

16

u/LordRevan1996 1d ago

Genuinely tho. Her and poly allow their trauma to blind themselves and in turn dictate policy for everyone else.

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 1d ago

I will never leave you alone. HOWEVER I do love to stuff my cheeks with nuts that the taxpayers have payed for

u/plasticproducts 1d ago

NR versions?

14

u/BonaFideDueDiligence 1d ago

Makasi, Carmel both restricted. Backland NR.

7

u/plasticproducts 1d ago

Thanks, I figured as much with those tight looking barrels. Fake silencer sellers had better stock up before the NR versions start shipping.

6

u/AsparagusUnhappy5395 1d ago

I was thinking the same thing. I’ll be throwing a fake suppressor on my Makasi the day it comes in.

u/Doogie-Howser 1d ago

How's the Backland?

u/CrumblingCanada 1d ago

I think we need even more fat ass bulky guns on the market🥴

u/twistedhumoraffy 1d ago

Thanks for the credit

u/BonaFideDueDiligence 1d ago

You're welcome and thank YOU for your contribution to the community! Always happy to see you post.

u/twistedhumoraffy 1d ago

A lot more to come, my brother thank you for the support

u/son_of_ghandicap 1d ago

honestly I like the look of the Backland the most out of the three. too bad it is what it is... If it was available in 7.62x39 I'd probably guinea pig it for the community lol

3

u/Old-Selection-1012 1d ago

Could probably convert it or contact them?

3

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn 1d ago

We brought one in for testing. It actually ran surprisingly well. Corie at Crusader has also been super on the ball communication wise with me so im cautiously optimistic theyre going to turn things around here with this one. (Theyre also doing the vortex thing with their warranty now which is the first ive heard of in the firearms industry)

2

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 1d ago

Wow if they accept all of the ones that they fuck up then they will be out of business in a week lmao

Jokes aside good on them for finally taking initiative and helping out the people that they have fucked over

1

u/son_of_ghandicap 1d ago

You mean you got a 7.62x39 version for testing?! Or the 556?

1

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn 1d ago

556

2

u/HappyCan7250 17h ago

I've got one, so do a few other guys who've posted. Its a fun gun, mags aren't great (lacks an anti tilt follower), and it is a bit overgassed from the factory, but i know the mags were a compromise to make it legal, and it could be converted to STANAG if you felt inclined to do a bit of dremel work quite easily.

Its like 80% AR, so almost everything except the BCG and buffer system can be swapped to aftermarket if you wanted. It also comes with a lifetime warranty which honestly is pretty sweet. I've exchanged a few emails with Crusader since buying it, and despite the horror stories I've heard, they've been super fast to reply and helpful with a few minor issues and questions. More accurate than I was expecting too, shoots around 2moa with bulk 62gr green tip 5.56

The AR compatible parts - Barrels  Gas blocks, gas tube, and gas key Handguards Triggers  Charging handle  Bolt/firing pin/cam pin Dust cover Safety Mag release

Incompatible parts - bolt carrier, buffer tube/spring, mags and proprietary upper and lower design despite being similar

I would also love to see them offer a 7.62x39 model, or offer caliber conversion kits. Based on a few design choices they took with the rifle and receiver, I do think there may be caliber swap kits coming eventually or just other chamberings from the factory

u/imnotm3h 1d ago

Which you think would stand the test the time more than the other

u/zporb 1d ago

Likely the Carmel based on what I've gathered.

Heard a few reports of mediocre QC on the MK-15 in this sub

u/Current-Speed4096 1d ago

it is good to be rich enough

u/DougMacRay617 1d ago

Waht the fawk is on the Mk15 lmfao looks like the final boss mailbox optic

u/Odd_Sherbet_5476 1d ago

Looks like one of those holosun digital thermal or nv units. They're very tall lol.

u/MapleNationalist 1d ago

Holosun thermal looks like

u/krimsonkodiak 1d ago

Looks like one of the Holosun Thermal/NV sights, they tall

u/Enough_Challenge7264 1d ago

Are those NR barrel length? I've committed to a Makasi and if that's the NR with the OEM barrel shroud, I'm a happy camper when it comes in. If it's the restricted length, I'm convinced I'll NEED a longer barrel shroud.

1

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn 1d ago

Both are the R version i do believe

1

u/Round-Inflation-7112 1d ago

i really need to get a carmel, never in stock

1

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 1d ago

They haven't arrived yet and I think g4c wasn't taking pre orders and they were just selling stock after it arrived so they are an option 

1

u/OwnEstablishment5101 1d ago

someone sell me the carmel and mk15

1

u/Bagginssss 1d ago

Anyone got any insight on how the backland runs? looks nice

1

u/Unknownuser010203 1d ago

Is that the 18.6 Makasi?

1

u/GFN_good_for_nothing 23h ago

Just fyi I believe his Makasi and Carmel are the restricted versions, could be wrong but if I’m correct the standard versions would have different barrels.

1

u/R4ID on 22h ago

makasi it is

u/Zealousideal-Hat5814 22h ago

Dude is made of money here xD
I’m still saving up for one

u/necros911 8h ago

I'm just curious if getting a restricted for the first time takes a while longer with CFO? I ordered the Restricted Carmel in May. It is in Canada awaiting CFO approval. Still haven't gotten rcmp email. It's being shipped to my home so no ATT needed. Or is it they just haven't gotten to my order yet? Assumed since others have received it I would have. I'm in Alberta. Thanks.
