There’s already been multiple reports of the Makasi being M10X levels of shit

I heard a couple issues nothing near that extreme though

First or second review on YouTube can’t get the gun to cycle with out mortaring it every round. Someone posted the other day here saying the charging handle jams into the receiver. Sounds like a paper weight to me

There was also a video just the other day of it being fired without issue (After setting it to the unsuppressed gas setting), and others you can find of the same thing, the gun being fired, reloaded, having the charging handle cycled etc. and not suffering those issues.

I'm sure the people having problems were having real problems, but you have to look at the entire spectrum of reviews.

It’s a shit rifle if you gotta gamble on if it’ll function or not

I think I’m close to changing my pre order from Makasi to Carmel. It’s not that I think they’re bad I just feel safer betting on the other.

The weight and awareness is the only reason not to tbh
