NEA 102

[Westicle]

It isn't close to the MH/MV design though which was designed specifically not to be a variant of the AR-15, it is an actual AR based off the original AR-102 design. NEA's rifle is based on an AR-10 variant that already has a NR status, despite there being few to none in Canada. Pretty much all modern AR-10's are actually scaled up AR-15's and that is why they are restricted.

Well, when the rcmp does stuff like this, the future of NR AR style rifles does not look so good.

the original ar-10 (original run of 10k rifles 1955-1959) predates the ar15/m16 (1957) by a couple years..... technically speaking the ar15 should be a variant of the ar-10.

if nea successfully followed original ar10 drawings (adding an sp1 "bump" to meet current interpretation of "law") there should be no issues..... the magazine on the other hand may throw a rock in it.

ar-10a - stoner/sr-25 style (original pattern)
ar-10b - proprietary armalite (modified m14 mags)

i think they would be on safer ground using the m14 mags..... IMHO
