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

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

I'm against the buy back program but it was the only way to get my moneys worth for the rifle since its banned.

I’ll never buy anything Canadian like Crusader Arms. The fact that it may use AR parts but doesn’t take standard AR mags is already a huge negative for me. Then there’s the question of quality control with these Canadian companies and we'll just leave it at that... IWI on the other hand, has been producing military service rifles for decades and has proven itself as a company capable of building reliable, high quality combat rifles. The Makasi MK15 definitely looks cooler and offers more room for upgrades, but at its core the IWI Carmel is a service combat rifle. The Makasi has already had numerous reported issues so for me thats a hard pass and makes my decision pretty easy. My pick is the Carmel 100%.
