Of course we all know that. I mean if they had any plans of adding this to the list they would have done it already and now with half the country in rebellion about the gun ban they probably aren't going to add this any time soon.

The ones that came with the rifle.

The mags that come with the rifle are atrocious…most of mine couldn’t even be loaded to 5. And none cycled the full mag. Apparently they loosen up with use and run ok after a while but I didn’t wait to find out. I switched to stanag mags and I have been problem free since.

Regarding your off centre pin…another member discovered that the hole for the retaining pin was not drilled all the way through on both sides of the bolt carrier and he couldn’t remove his either…could that be the problem with yours?

Could be, though it seemed like the hole had been drilled through. I wish I had taken a picture before my mate packed it up to send back to CA. Either way, he's going to let the company sort it out.

On a positive note, it doesn't look like the liberals are adding more guns to the ban list right now.

Give it time... They know how to get people to change the channel on another lieberal scandal, which we all know is imminent...

Once they pull the trigger on banning the SKS, they'll clean up the remaining semis with it.
 


Crusader Arms sent me some new parts under warranty, and it now shoots like a dream! Can't wait to burn through a few hundred more rounds and really stretch its legs.

Here's some shots taken at a local range.

I am torn on this one. I have a number of semi auto .223 / 5.56 rifles on the ban list and I would love to find something to break out the ammo that has just been sitting around, especially the 5.56 ammo which I can't really use elsewhere.

While I know many of us have mixed opinions of Crusader Arms as a company and their previous products, I do applaud them in having the gonads in this political climate to put out new products, regardless of their motivation in doing so. The government would love to have further development of new sporter models die off, so it is nice to see some new models introduced into the environment, whether it is locally developed/manufactured or done from abroad (ie. Turkey).

That said...and I know perhaps some may say this is just capitulating to the Liberal fear tactics, but...

I think we are long past the sense that manufacturers can do their due diligence, and be in full compliance with the parameters of, say, a C21 based characteristics of a firearm, meeting all regulations for both function and compatibility/lack of, and still get burned with the whole "variant" thing. The Crypto and R9s are only the most recent reminders of these, both of which I believe had their designs and development in light of C21 design and function characteristics. Both were then considered variants.

But you can even go further back than last year, to when they banned the GSG-16, saying it is a variant of an MP5. There is no internal parts/functioning that would justify this and as always, the overarching attribute that affects how these firearms are being treated is LOOKS. APPEARANCE. AETHSTETICS.

I also worry about the discussions about interchanging parts to make other parts work - seems to be the government can read into that kind of thing into their "variant" definition - ie. who cares if this magazine for this rifle is proprietary and cannot be altered beyond five rounds when, with a magwell change, the previously maligned stanag or pmag natively more-than-five-round magazines can be used. The government can easily redefine variant as any way to circumvent existing restrictions.

So they can make the Backland Hunter, or Turkey can come up with the other models (forget their name - Alcor, Chimera or something), but if it even closely resembles an AR or anything that looks like an AR, it is almost certain that it will hit a ban list, if past history is any indication.

I really don't get why manufacturers don't just get the FRT first to see how their designs will play out, before mass selling them to a partially unsuspecting public (I know a number of people who recently got PALs that are excited to buy their first gun - they have no idea what has / has not been banned, and aren't on CGN to follow both the legislative developments and the federal social policy climate). I suppose from a business perspective, if they were truly unscrupulous, it would make more sense to sell off as many as possible and if people are stuck with it via ban, oh well, rather than protect their potential customers in ensuring that in fact their design will be accepted by the RCMP...but even then, that is no guarantee that it won't get banned later via OIC.

Now, one can argue (and understandably so) that who cares, buy what you like. In principle I agree. But unless one has deep pockets, or has zero risk aversion (I have neither, getting married in 4 months and paying for wedding and honeymoon, not to mention putting another child through university on my own dime), it seems more of a true gamble than anything else. Perhaps if this rifle was half the price, the risk would be easier to swallow. I am in the double digits for guns that are safe queens at the moment, so the appetite for risk is not as strong as it once was. I would love to buy a new Canadian-developed product, but in seeing how the previous ones have played out, would rather see the RCMP assessment process advancing much further before taking the plunge.

My biggest fear on this gun is that it may cause the light to shine more on the Benelli M4 (and the implications would be pretty obvious by why I would be concerned as an owner of one...

FRT means nothing, everything is enjoy while you can before the liberal screw it up, Majority of guns that are banned went through have FRT, doesn't mean a shizzle. Order less uber eats, save a little, and enjoy it while you can,

Do you think the parts they sent you the ones listed in the "Elite" model?

I was wondering the same, my guess is probably. Funny how the "Elite" is really just a Gen 2, courtesy of customer beta testing. I wonder what they'll call the Gen 3 after people find more issues? Perhaps the "Wasteland Ultimate".

In a sort of self-defeating way, if it was actually reliable and people bought it, it would probably get banned. Maybe that's the angle here, make it just bad enough where it won't get banned lmao.
