The Brigade Makasi Pistol Series represents a major leap in compact rifle-caliber platform engineering. By replacing standard direct-impingement AR buffer tubes with an innovative short-stroke gas piston system, the Makasi platform eliminates the rear receiver extension entirely. This bufferless architecture allows for maximum portability, streamlined handling in tight spaces, and rapid vehicle deployment.

Because gas piston operating systems route excess fouling and unburned powder out near the front gas block rather than back into the upper receiver, Makasi pistols run significantly cleaner and cooler during high-volume shooting sessions—giving you rock-solid reliability out of short barrels.

Choose the caliber tailored to your operational setup: the MK-15 Pistol (5.56 NATO) offers high-velocity, low-recoil flat trajectories with standard AR-15 magazine compatibility, while the MK-47 Pistol (7.62x39) delivers heavy terminal energy for close-range punch and barrier penetration.

Combining retro FAL-inspired aesthetics with modern AR-15 ergonomics, every Makasi pistol is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 forged aluminum in Miami, FL. Complete firearms ship directly to your local FFL dealer and are backed by Brigade Manufacturing’s factory Limited Lifetime Warranty.
