Gun and gear reviews Makasi Mk15 questions

Post image

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.

Talking with a guy that was there (taccom) as well as north Silva and brigade.

They changed the barrel nut, as well as new handgaurds that are longer for NR version. The new handgaurd also has been made to address the charging handle issue.

North Silva told me they expect to see them in October.

Brigade said the first 50 shipped a couple days ago.

A sponsored shooter I talked to said that RDSC is getting the first batch.

they only recently updated the pre-order to state that the initial batch has all been spoken for, I wonder how many rifles that was.

Not a lot of people I know who pre-ordered went through RDSC, I did.

Thanks for the heads up, just switched to FDE 15” and yeah it did cost me the same but I think more than worth at this point I would have been pissed if I got the shorter one tbh
