Brigade Manufacturing is proud to introduce the Makasi. A new platform that continues the legacy that is, the “Right Arm of the Free World”. Crafted now for the first time with American ingenuity, the Makasi marries the functional aesthetic of the FAL with the familiar handling of AR-style controls. Chambered in 5.56×45, it features a short-stroke gas piston, a buffer less recoil system, and operates with a non-reciprocating side-charging handle.
