Brigade Firearms Makasi AR/FAL hybrid

Since this uses a standard AR barrel and barrel nut, you could drop in a 300 Blackout or 6 mm Max barrel for whitetail, right? Boondock Saints evaluation of 6 mm Max vs ARC makes it sound like Max may work with no bolt change:

. If the 7.62x39 mm version is covered by the same FRT entry, you could do a 6 mm ARC or Grendel barrel swap with that version.

Hopefully these aren’t gonna be more “just as good” super overpriced semi autos like we’ve been dealing with for the past few years.

They're definitely going to be expensive. Mark my words.

Another 3500$ cope gun …

Take my money now!

It means the one submitted had a custom 18.5" or longer barrel.

From the FRT screenshots it seems like it's not a custom one-off:

"Manufacturer Specification" means it is available from the factory/dealer as a NR length.

I'm going to predict a $3700 price tag, these are $$$ in the USA so no doubt they will also be expensive in Canada

Price around $2500, 18.6" barrel, ETA mid-summer, preorders starting this week.

I’m down!

I disliked the pre order game back in the day. Seemed you’d preorder a rifle and another dealer would get it first.

Nat isn’t going to lay an egg about this

Confirmed by dealer, comes from factory with 18.6” barrel. NOT a conversion.

No 7.62x39 rifles being imported?

Not as of right now.

That's lame. I've avoided 5.56 this long, I'll keep waiting. Gives me some breathing time to see if this gets banned.

Of COURSE it will eventually be banned in the current political climate. The only question is whether or not that occurs before the initial batch(es) arrive and are delivered to early adopters...
