Of course.

Out of curiosity, did they mention if there's been an unusual delay, or if this is just the regular time it takes to import a shipment like this?

u/Candid-Tomato2971 Aug 19 '26

I think (total speculation) is that the plan is to deliver all the rifles via pre-order into Canada in a single mass shipment, ie all dealers will a ship/release date, where they will ship out all the firearms in a single go.

I believe that the worry from everyone in the firearm community is that if a few Makasi's and Carmel's get a bad rep, the whole thing gets shut down asap. To counter this, a large number of the rifle (talking many many thousands) must get manufactured, clear customs, be held in quiet (even with retailers and suppliers) and then shipped out at once. This allows a) Brigade to manufacture a large number b) Grants the distributor and retailers to sell large volumes and c) Allows as many Canadians to be able to possess these rifles. Such a process will send thousands of packages into circulation overnight, and be sold products upon their departure (which is why I think pre-order was heavily pushed here_

No but i wouldnt be surprised if the amount of QC complaints and brigades response didnt have something to do with it. Same idea when a game gets delayed to work out bugs is my guess but could be wrong

u/Dootbooter Aug 19 '26

Damn that sucks for they mention why the delay?

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn Aug 19 '26

Could be the amount of QC complaints that happened. But im not 100% sure.

Could be fake or scam but I know two people who have their Makasis already

Probably the 16" restricted models though, guys have been privately importing those for several months now. I personally would not want a restricted one and register it with the LPC goons. 2" more barrel and I can use it on crown land AND not tell the LPC about it!

I actually turned in a restricted AR15 and got my money back through the compensation. Not doing restricted anymore, going out and buying something else with that money

u/HappyCan7250 14d ago

While im not a fan of anyone turning anything in, should have destroyed, its great you're going to buy an NR replacement.

The Crusader Backland comp is like 90% AR parts, more than the mk15 or Carmel if you have any parts leftover. Fun rifle, stoked for my mk15 too

u/HappyCan7250 29d ago

Thanks, the shop im dealing with told me expected Aug 15th just the other day and then never answered when I asked again if they got them.

How far out are your pre orders sold out I you don't mind me asking? I jumped on day 1 at a shop so pretty sure ill be in the first round, but been wondering how far out some of the later pre orders will be. I imagine guys ordering now are probably looking at a year or so till supply catches up.

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn 29d ago

They dont give us any etas unfortunately. Just broad terms. Which is why im surprised some dealers were putting out hard dates. That being said theyre far enough away from me that they have a different rep

I looked up the listing on GunPost.

Everything about that photo screams AI; tons of inconsistencies.

Look at the Makasi logo, and look at the handguard (mlok slots are missing)

That also ain’t no 18.6 inch barrel.

u/LordRaizer Aug 19 '26

Oh yeah, good catch

The logo looks like gibberish

The OpenAI tool says that it was generated by them.

Was just the first thing I saw when I opened it up and wanted to share and see what people thought

u/Einyrki Aug 19 '26

Private seller or dealer ?

u/DarkHeroes5 Aug 19 '26

I believe he is private ish, see him all the time on there selling stuff and combos. I think I met up with him one time to buy ammo from a year or so ago

u/starw24-ps4 Aug 19 '26

Weird this is from KiloMike. He has 1500 5 star reviews which is nuts. Talking to him he said this is a pre order idea. Not sure why he’d use AI though. Strange

u/DarkHeroes5 Aug 19 '26

What I thought but the $2500 doesn’t make sense, they sell for that plus tax

u/thingk89 Aug 19 '26

Scamming a firearm sale is just SOOOO wild to me. the paper trail is stored with the RCMP…

2

u/PsychologyTrick7306 Aug 19 '26

How? I've had zero notifications from Tenda to go get mine.

u/DarkHeroes5 Aug 19 '26

Same and I live in Ottawa and ordered with a local store

u/YOUIGNORANTSLUT_ Aug 19 '26

What store in ottawa?

1

u/Armedfist Aug 19 '26

Interesting… only way I see it is that the person probably work at the store and got one already

u/LilCamCan 29d ago

Isn’t this just gonna get banned aswell and become a paperweight?
