Misc Makasi upgrades?
So we all know there are mixed reviews on the Makasi. Some people say it’s a great rifle, while others say it’s a “180 cope gun.” As someone who has pre-ordered one, I’m definitely a little nervous.
On a more positive note, maybe we can put together a list of upgrades that could improve the platform?
For a possible handguard upgrade, I’ve seen that the VLTOR CASV-EL may be a good fit.
From my understanding, the barrel can be replaced with an AR-15 carbine barrel with some modification.
The dreaded oversized pin that seems to fall out also looks like it could be replaced fairly easily.
Does anyone have any other ideas to improve the platform? The bones seem solid, and with quite a bit of AR compatibility, I think there’s a lot of potential here.
TLDR: What parts can we list to improve the Makasi, besides the obvious easy AR-15 upgrades.

The Ripley Rail is the obvious choice for the HG to receiver pic rail mismatch.
