Buy recommendations backland hunter questions

Hi there. I've been curios about the backland hunter due to it's specific style. I've been in the market for a new firearm for a bit. I've been deciding on the backland hunter, mk15, and the carmel. I know that the backland hunter has had some issues with customers and other review posts. But like i mentioned. It's current style of how it looks really intrigues me. Please let me know if it's worth dumping over 2,000 on the mk15 or better to get the backland hunter.

We've sold 8 of em so far. Only one guy had an issue (and crusader was super responsive for him, trouble shooting with him at around midnight their time). One guys got about 3k rounds through his and 2 others have told me how fun it is. Havent heard from the other 4. Even the gunfluencer on here who had a dud had his sorted and working by crusader in a rather painless manner.

I was hesitant at first to start selling these things but crusader does really seem to be trying to turn their ship around. Even letting us do them on a per order basis (and thus having to be really responsive) due to you know fears of bans. The lifte time fully transferable warranty thing is a big stand out, especially since we have seen the mk15s have similar level of qc issues, and while the Carmel looks really really solid so far, we have no idea how easy it will be to get parts etc.

That being said, its your money, and if youre having any doubts wait for the Carmel, MK15 and Backland Comp all to mature and be on the market for awhile before commiting. None of them are inexpensive.

my current position the mk15 and carmel are kind of inexpensive. But i'll take your word. the mk15 as soon as it dropped was one of the guns i was leaning 100% on, planning on either buying one this or next year. Thanks for your comment !
