Makasi Mk15 questions

[u/cdn_sentry117]

I've seen lots of posts from the NS booth at TACCOM with the the special order FDE Makasi and the regular black one. I heard the FDE one was coming with an exclusive 15 inch handguard, but clearly the black one on display has that too. Did anyone have the opportunity to view or ask any questions regarding it?

I'm wondering if with all the reported QC issues, are the handguards being swapped out with ones that don't have the issues and that's the delay to them hitting retailers?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I've reached out to brigade and they told me that they couldn't discuss any details. Said that the distributors would be able to answer delivery date questions and i have been ghosted by everyone I've reached out to. Not looking great atm.

Well that’s not very reassuring.

My guess is that this is an exclusive deal with NS.
