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.

Anybody knows if these will come out in 308 at some point? I already own a few 223 and am now looking for another one, would much rather have some sweet 308. Would also make sense with its FAL DNA.

It would indeed be a true FAL/AR hybrid with a 308 version. Also 6.5 Creedmore would be doable. Would the Calibre change require a new FRT? Probably, but hopefully it would pass. Hopefully they use a good barrel, so the firearm can use the new high pressure 6.5 ammo without issue.

Unfortunately, I think we're both dreaming... nobody ever releases a platform in 308/semi auto. Closest we got was the Raven 762 before it got banned in 2025 :(

i saw a video from taccom of a 308 to be released, think it was one of citadel, akdas alcor or canuck manufacturer.
