Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he has directed his foreign ministry to declare the U.S. envoy to Turkey a "persona non grata" in a Saturday speech in the northwest city of Eskisehir.

The U.S. ambassador, along with nine other envoys from Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and New Zealand, have had their diplomatic protections removed.

You might not get any replies for a while. Everybody here is on their way to the local gun store to buy up the stock of Canik guns and gear.

I was wondering the same thing, actually. Wish I had more cash on hand right now.

I don't think so. Erdogan needs hard dollars since his currency is tanking so he will have to keep shipping anything that gets him a buck.

Besides, Biden is sending Jeff Flake, max RINO and Dem party butt boy as the new ambassador to Turkey. This is just part of his payoff for betraying Republicans.

Like all Biden decisions, this one too will fail spectacularly.

Frankly, I'm surprised that Canik prices aren't falling due to the $/lira ratio. We've done too good a job here on the forum selling their quality...

Isn't that what the SC is already?

I don't believe the current SC is a Mete, there's only the SFX Mete and SFT Mete.

I'm talking feature-wise. The Metes are basically just generational upgrades to the SF and SFX to bring them in line with the Elites like the Ambi slide release. And, the SC already had the milled slide for an optic. I think the only thing the SC doesn't currently have is the add on mag well

Also, on topic with this thread, I guess it was good timing that I finally pulled the trigger on a Century Arms/MKE AP5 (MP5 clone). Prices finally came down enough to the point I could stomach.

The frame has changed a bit also. I’ve noticed it’s thinner especially up around the beaver tail. It doesn’t bother the back of my thumb as much as my SC does. I believe the trigger might be better as well

Interesting. Probably a topic for a new thread but if you or anyone can provide comparison photos and measurements, that would be good to see.

SHOT Show 2022 is Jan 18-22. Maybe there will be something new from Canik.

The Mete trigger is upgraded (at least on my SFT Mete), from the previous sfx,sc, and elite triggers and compared to the best triggers in the combats has 1/16" longer pretravel, but the 1/16th" reset is half of my Combats which are 1/8th". Trigger pull is about same out of box at 4.25lb.
