Worst choice for a semi .223/5.56

Probably the only worse option would be the AD500.

I would go for the Akdas Alcor, Makasi, or Carmel instead.

We should make a sticky for how shitty of a company Crusader is

Trash don’t buy it

Buy an Alcor from Kodiak with their new furniture
Or wait for the Makasi or the Carmel

I'm not sure about "best"... Especially considering CA's track record and the upcoming Carmel/Makasi.

It's a top ten stanag mag compatible semiauto in Canada. But that's because there are only about ten of these left in Canada.

Akdas alcor with kd or crusader arms kit on it looks great

For the same price as the backland

Actual owner here: expect to do some hands-on tuning out of the box, but once dialed in, mine's been rock solid. The sub despises Crusader, but if you want an NR 5.56 you can actually buy off the shelf today, it gets the job done.

What did you have to do with yours to get it running right? And what model?

I do like the look of those rifles but man, no one says anything good lol

How are people on these subs still asking about the garbage cope rods?

Just because you really want an AR doesn’t change the fact that we just don’t have them, and no, none of the options are good.

If you need a paperweight for your larp go ahead, but the irony of buying the least reliable rifle you can for “shtf” is baffling.

That said see you all tomorrow for the next “the documented bad gun…is it bad or can you tell me it’s ok because I want to look like call of duty?”
