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.

I hope this is true and gravel imported guns also come with the 15 inch Hand guards. It would genuinely be very stupid to bring in guns plagued with issues while other customers get better built units depending on which importer your store went it. Only time will tell I guess

Glad to hear that all rifles will have the QC fixes. So it’s probably just the handguard that’s different. Personally I want the longer handguard for aesthetics and increased ‘rail-estate’ to bolt more garbage onto my rifle
