Gun and gear reviews How some Canadians companies stand by their product.

With Sterling Arms standing up for themselves against the prohibited classification the RCMP put on the R9, and winning, it got me thinking about the Crusader Arms Crypto. Those guys came out with a rifle that met the new laws, then pumped out a bunch of beyond subpar rifles with worse than Chinese QC. Made a pile of cash and as soon as it was banned, did nothing to stand up for their product. Instead created another piece of garbage.

Not to just bash CA (well, maybe a little, actually a lot), we now have seen what a good Canadian firearms manufacturer does. Makes a product, stands by it, then fights for it. Their win, to me anyway, shows what companies we should actually support.

After CA removed their website, blocks peoples comments on Instagram that comment the issues they have with their new Backland Hunter rifles I am genuinely shocked anyone can still support them by giving them a dime.

Anyway, I'm kind of curious what other people's thoughts are on CA doing nothing to fight for the rifle they developed, that also being a fight for their customers base. Especially now that we have seen Sterling Arms having being successful with their R9 reclassification. Will this maybe get them to take a stance for the crypto classification?

I've never heard of this issue on him getting stuff banned? Can you explain it to me?

Yeah so pretty much he was kicked out is CSC because he was difficult to work with. Then CSC started importing the Classic Green and cz 858. Jr Cox was pissed at thst and he wanted to be the majority importer but of course CSC said sucks to suck just be another importer, so Jr modified a classic green and cz 858 to become full auto and reported it to the rcmp to which the rcmp said " oh shit these can be altered" and then changed the classic green and 858 to prohibited status. The Classic Green did get a classification reversal shortly before the 2020 bans since it actually took a very extensive not easy process to convert to full auto. But yeah instead of being another importer he got them banned, JR was hurting canadian firearms owners long before the 202 bans

Wasn't TSE around for years before CSC?

It sure was, and JR was never at CSC.
