Preordered both. Still humming and hawing about canceling one of them.. or both, who knows lol. Still concerned about the Makasi QC, not the biggest fan of the tanky bulk of the Carmel though Iām certain its quality is good.
You see those ones with the AR barrel conversion?? Being able to switch between 300 blackout and 223 and put shortie barrels on it makes me really want one!
I went with carmel and am going to be putting a reverse style faux suppressor on it because yeah the barrel is longggg but i was also in the boat of originally ordering the makasi then seeing the qc nightmare and as someone who has currently no 5.56 or .223 guns i just wanted the ONE that i ordered to be reliable. Yeah i unfortunately have to deal with a bit of a different looking firearm but functionally it is all there and im excited regardless to stick all the mods on it and make it a cooler gun
No it is scar at home... i like it. Even got an lpvo for it but i kinda wanna put an elcan or some other prism on it, i just dont have that kind of money
I think ill more than likely end up putting an eotech on it one day, chonker rifle with chonky reflex is it... or you know some other holo derivitive... theres some other interesting looking ones as well the one i can think of is the meprolight m22. This is also why i want a faux suppressor... not because i want function but because who puts a red dot on a 18.5 inch barrel. At least with a suppressor fake it kind of looks normal ish
No, the SCC case has stopped all new bans, it would be beyond ridiculous to ban new firearms. Also I think they would have to launch buyback 2 to ban these new rifles because we are so late into the current buyback.
I'm going against the grain on this one, but I think the Makasi is going to show up just fine. I believe it will cost them more to deal with returns, shipping, etc., to fix issues than address them outright before sending this way. Which is why they already posted they are aware of the issues. Recent YT videos show evidence of hundreds of rounds being put through these with no issues.
I'd still rather tinker with some QC issues with the Makasi than be stuck with a big framed Carmel.
EDIT: Makasi is still going to be better than some Crypto crap that I basically paid the same price for with no FRT.
I had the makasi pre ordered but after seeing all the QA issues i canceled. I'll likley buy one some day if they become available in store & i can handle one.
Pre ordered both and bailed on the makasi when the very first mid review came (CGN Greentips). If the Carmel had been available first i wouldnt have pre ordered the makasi to begin with.
