Looks like turkey’s been smoking whatever was left in Keltec’s pipe while looking a famas.

Okay but real talk, I love that there's still someone bringing in stuff to Canada, even if its Turkish junk.

Also no hate on keltec, they just let their engineers go buck wild. Top loading stripper for a handgun? Sure why not!

That kind of innovation is both cursed and blessed all at once.

It at least gives more risk averse manufacturers the green light to stay in our market. Without Turkish manufacturers pushing the AD500, alcor, chimera, etc. it’s possible importers weren’t going to take the risk of pushing through the Carmel or Makasi.

At least that’s what would make sense.

Oh I believe this 100%

A couple semi auto Turkish guns gave others bravery to go forward with theirs. The fact the chimera and Alcor have been sitting untouched is awesome and definitely paced the way for the new 2.

Heck I'm tempted to save the money and just buy the Turkish 223 rifles. The things kodiak does with the Alcor looks amazing to me
