Crusader Arms Templar NON-Restricted .223 Taccom 2022

[@Spruce-Bug]

2:23 What a relief to finally see thicker barrels, that was a gap in the Canadian availably for a while.

[@eagleace67]

Great job on this rifle. It's AR + Scar + Bren + G3 + XCR + ACR = Templar (with a dope name)! Awesome work to slam the Bill C21. Proud Canadian here.

[@pricelessppp]

Looks like a Canuck scar looks cool.

[@bmstylee]

I see Robinson XCR. But that's just me.

[@gaetanvallee]

Wow, good idea, gaz is clean, no dirty, thanks's for this video, appreciated!

[@jay-firstofhisname]

Just ordered one today. Might make a thread on CGN about how she holds up and everything. Got the ACR stock and milspec trigger.

[@EpikArms]

Awesome. Can you leave a comment back here, once you have some rounds through it, for others looking to get one

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

Awaiting your review.

[@jay-firstofhisname]

@@EpikArms Just received it today. No rounds through it yet, but the barrel has huge scratches running the whole length of the barrel under the handguard. And when you shake it you can hear the upper moving and I can already see some play lol. Metal shavings are already coming off near the charging handle. And there laser etched logo on the bolt is already showing ware on it from me pulling the charging handle back a whole five times. Really wish I could refund my $2100 from FOC, but final sale and all. Quality control on this gun is terrible. Trying to contact crusader for warranty information because the thing didn't even ship with a users manual. So far it's a complete pos for $2100

[@shanejacobson4389]

Only review ive seen on it yet hoping to hear more

[@sammasic5849]

thank you for saving me $2100.00, I got Kodiak Defense WK180 Gen 2 for $1500.000 and it almost fell apart in my hands. I had to tighten up everything and re-drill set screw holes on the gas block and the barrel lol, gas block slid out of position, hand-guard canted and cant fit quick attachments to upper receiver rail cuz its out of spec.

“Buy Canadian made” they said

[@DDRDK]

Interesting, looks like you posted on Instagram as well stating the same story. You have like no followers and 9 post. You should post pictures of all the damage.

[@xjd0]

sad but expected

[@XxnosmanXx]

It looks like a piece of shit, not surprised

[@garycrispens9208]

Got to get one!

[@TiretSurvie]

*Very nice!!!*

[@dantepowers5339]

Sold!!!

[@pistooli1]

I could never buy a rifle with a name like the Crusader Arms Templar. The name is a deal breaker.

[@tjhatton1508]

Man.. You could buy solid AR-15 models for half the price of these domestic 5.56 models but way more robust and worked well. Why are Canadian semi automatic 5.56 rifles so expensive when they're not as good and generally have way more issues?

[@lomparti]

Nothing makes sense in Canada man.

[@amateuroutdoorsman6331]

I’m down to clown with the 7.62 version!

[@kalaallstar19]

with an ak mag, yes please

[@romanvanriper9069]

Is this rifle good or not ? Trying to find a good AR platform rifle. Was debating the kodiak gen 2 for a while but heard it’s bad quality. Thought this would be an alternative solution. Is it or ?

[@EpikArms]

no idea. really at some point i intend to review one, so far for canadian "AR"'s Ive reviewed the Sterling R18 Mr2 and I just got the WK180C gen2 that im going to start on

[@JEDI2TE]

Look at the Specter WS MCR before the Kodiak.

[@teddyrasputin3850]

Go easy on the guy who blocked your video shot. He just got there and is still in shock after nearly dying from blindly walking into 6 lanes of traffic.

[@Prairielander]

I think it is cool that Canadian manufactures are stepping up to build firearms. But I don't think the quality is there yet. If you are Canadian though Semi Automatics are going to get banned. The future is Australia.

[@EpikArms]

im not so sure about the QC no being there yet, most of what people are reffering to were the early versions of the WK180c when they just came out. when you factor in the cost to manufacture the R&D a 1000$ rifle might be the equivalent to a 650$ usd rifle, so respectively its still on the "budget" side of things, another example the R18 Mk2 by sterling arms (another AR180b variant great fit and finish great reliability and pretty awesome features. this one I assuming will be fairly comparable. while the 2020 ban may have cost people and companies a fair amount of money, it has actually pushed the industry away from the previous AR imports now people are focussing more on the manufacture and purchase of made in canada firearms

[@raleighepp5274]

Does it take Cross Industries Magazines?

[@EpikArms]

i beleive i saw someone's video of it being used with them

[@tombryant4518]

So all those perfectly fine XCR 7.62x39 mags don’t work all of a sudden?

[@EpikArms]

No idea, I personally haven't used this rifle.

[@tombryant4518]

@@EpikArms Ya, I know. I was just jabbing at the guy who said AR body mags don’t work for x39. I just want to be able to use things I already have and not have to go out and buy AK mags when I already have a plethora of Mini 30 mags, XCR mags, SKS mags etc. Rifle looks nice though, and I’d like them!

[@MF-Rell]

They work. Never had an issue with mine in an ar15. I don't understand the all the fuss lol.

[@tombryant4518]

@@MF-Rell Exactly, I don’t get it either.

[@DDRDK]

@@tombryant4518 not only do the XCRs run perfect with AR x39 mags but the bren 2 also ran perfect and from what I've seen so far the sig x39 spear lt seems to run perfect with them as well. You either know what you're doing designing a rifle or you don't. Last thing I want is an AK mag with no last round hold open

[@fraserlordly2432]

Sign me up for the 7.62 by 39.

[@EpikArms]

but then we woudnt get to use 10/10 AR pistol mags ..... ammo might be cheaper tho

[@raleighepp5274]

@@EpikArms - Actually not true. Duramag makes 7.62 x 39 in Ten Rounds.

[@shtf3088]

Buddy went to Taccom not knowing the pricing of his guns. Cool.

[@EmpireOnTheDecline]

No 7.62 10 round mags? Gotta get the DuraMag XCR-L 7.62×39 10 Round Magazine.

[@joannezupan4175]

Is the Templars' barrel chrome lined or nitrided? Also, there is a hole I noticed on the right upper rear receiver. What is it for?

[@nikerotti1737]

Not bad , I like it ,except the price .

[@alexferrara9287]

Everyone is saying it looks like a SCAR, ACR, or even XCR. In reality, it’s a cross between the B&T APC, Perun X16, and ARAK 21. As crazy as that sounds, look up these 3 rifles and you’ll see it’s as if they copied those platforms to make this one.

[@petesheppard1709]

As an American, it's really interesting how Canadians are doing so much with the AR-180 system! They do tend to look similar, like all the AR variations. I'm getting really interested in one of the Canadian offerings, as yet another flavor of 5.56. 😎

[@zackschmidt4381]

Ak47 mag version and ill buy one!

[@thomassimpson6901]

Man that crosshead screw in front of the cocking handle looks weird and not "built to last"

[@lomparti]

Ya I know but it’s there cause the handle can be unscrewed and installed on the other side for the lefties.

[@christianemmanuelf.domingo793]

Make a 30-06 and a drum mag for it and make a .50bmg upper and make a 12ga upper and for the 5.56 also make it cmmg bcg 22lr conversion kit compatible basicaly almost cloning ar15 versitility in customizations perhaps even more if u can make it .50bmg from the start and all the barrel swaps, and mag well adapters down to .17hmr for extremely affordable prices cuz then that would be the ultimate survivalist preper gun that can quick swap caliber all in 1 gun, i like the name crusader therefore im giving away a very nice idea for free lol it will also be super aweaome if yall can figure out quick change actions: bolt action, lever action pump action, break barrel, semi auto, full auto, again in 1 gun!

[@MrMckiks]

I read this entire comment and I still can't figure out if you're trolling.

[@christianemmanuelf.domingo793]

@@MrMckiks nope its realy a good idea to have multicaliber gun kinda like how 12ga barrel insert adapters

[@MrMckiks]

@@christianemmanuelf.domingo793 it's just you are asking for literally everything, a gun that's heavy enough to fire 50 bmg especially as a semi automatic would never be able to function off of nearly any other round let alone a 22LR. Even if it was possible you'd end up with a rifle that's bad at everything and has all the disadvantages of every caliber. I don't understand the desire for quick change actions either

[@efoxneo]

B&T APC 223 for half the price.

[@ilovefreeski]

yee but the apc 223 is a extremely well made reliable rifle that has a service history. This thing looks like another piece of janky unreliable junk. Id be willing to bet this thing will be riddled with problems. Just look at the comment on this vid

[@mikerodik5005]

felt this heap of dogshit at taccom, heavy, flimsy charging handle that will break, turkish acr stock. mega doo doo just get the bcl skunkpiss if it ever comes out
