Gun and gear reviews Makasi Mk15 reviews

Post image

Sooo since we've all seen some mixed reviews and some concerning QC issues with the R Makasi's that have rolled in to Canada, I decided to reach out to Brigade MFG to see if they were aware of the issues and if the NR rifles would have any of these issues corrected.

Here's their response

Just joined the carmel gang to avoid all of this... why not buy the better rifle for 100 dollars more.... unless you cant stand the look of the carmel... it is simply better

Looks aside, no aftermarket support at all. Makasi at least I can do some adult legos with and make it my own.

I mean sure you are right aout mods... but as someone who just wanted a light, laser, optic, and hand stop, this checks all the boxes... comes with a good trigger, thats money savings, comes with a good stock, savings again... id be spending wayyy more on a makasi to make it likeable and then it still wouldnt be the quality it deserves to be for the price. But i almost went with makasi for the AR compatibility/ style too so i get it, ive switched perspective after the looks of the carmel grew on me. To each their own, glad we just have the choice again, this will be my first 5.56 semi since i was sleeping on the crypto and the raven and the bren 2.

Carmel is just going to be more reliably and better out the box. Someone would have to spend at least $1K to make the Makasi “better”. If people have the money to that, all power to them. But for me, I could only afford one so the Carmel is a no brainer
