Buy recommendations Differences between Makasi MK15 depending on importer

I spoke with a retailer today after North Sylva posted online that the Makasi rifles they would be importing would have 15” handguards.

Sounds like the rifles being distributed by Gravel will have 12” handguards, and that the longer handguard are exclusive to the ones being brought in by North Sylva.

Its great that they’re making the rifle better for the Canadian market (no giant barrel with short handguard) but also unfortunate that some people that placed pre-orders with retailers through Gravel will end up getting what they might consider a worse product.

Do we know which stores are importing from which distributor?

I wonder where Tenda is getting their rifles from.

They’re getting it from NS, so should be the 15 inch hand guard with the quality control upgrades. Someone said when they call you to pay the remaining balance, to tell them you want the 15 inch handguard.
