Hey i know i probably already asked but cant remember.lol
Are barrel swaps easy?

What’s the chance these get hit with the reciprocal tariffs that may come next week. I’m assuming they still haven’t arrived in country.

I'd say similar to an AR-15 but you need carbine length gas port to feed the piston. And two keyways for bolts?

I got the carbine length items but don’t have two kiwis??
I guess I’d need a verifier as well?

The charging handle hits something until the clearance "self corrects" lol

I think the keyways are for pinning the Makasi gas block. The barrel will need to be drilled at the top for the gas block cross pin. I don’t know what the second keyway is for as the Makasi only needs one pin for the gas block not including the two set screws on the bottom?

The verifier part would depend on what you’re doing and if you’re changing classification from restricted to non restricted. I don’t know if you would need a verifier if you’re going from NR to R from 18.6 to less than 18.6 or changing the R length barrel to a different R length barrel ie 16” to 12.5”. That you might jus be able to call in and ask for a new registration cert?

Was thinking I could get the restricted model and just pop on an 18.6 barrel I have kicking around

Unless you are trying to beat the tariffs, it is likely worth waiting for the NR version, as supposedly they are trying to address QC issues from some Canadian restricted early adopters. If you get a restricted version, it may more of a dice role, since may be older stock.

I picked one up after seeing his video from optics planet. After the duties, weak dollar, and fedex fees, it has ended up being the same price as a decent gun.

It is a beautifully well made stock though and I'm dying to get it on the Makasi, whenever that may be.

I ordered one too. I don’t like the look of the magpul stock on it. The magpul stock does look good on my Henry homesteader though.

I call this the Henry Home-wrecker
