What I find the most intriguing about this thread is just how many members who rarely post anything are all over this. Nice to see the interwebz action, now to get it to creep into the rest of the forums! :D

[EvilGrin]

Here we go with another day of constantly hitting refresh on four open tabs. After all this, if the announcement comes out that it is restricted... You might see a grown man cry.

[EvilGrin]

Does anyone have any advice on a good scope and mount for this platform? I'm still using iron sights on my AR-15 and my only scoped rifle is a bolt action .308. I was thinking maybe a Vortex Viper 4-12 or maybe something with a higher level of magnification. Trying to stay in the $500-$800 range. My main use is punching paper out to 300 yards. Thanks for any and all advice.

[Farmer2285]

I use a burris msr 3-9x40 with the Burris pepr mount on my xcr and a nikon 1-6 with a burris pepr mount on one of my ar's the pepr mount seems to hold nicely at the right hight without breaking the bank!

That's funny stuff right there, lol.

[Farmer2285]

Are the RC's changing their minds?

[Dewey Cox]

They had their minds made up the minute they saw this gun.
They're stalling until they can get someone to back up their call.

[Farmer2285]

I believe they are stalling for sure. but if it's anything close to the modern hunter design it should be no problem

[Pariegh]

I believe they are stalling for sure. but if it's anything close to the modern hunter design it should be no problem

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.

So will ar-10 options fit this or ...?

We have been hitting refresh for soooo long.

[Farmer2285]

Hopefully it's not another type 81! But I do have faith NEA was told they'd have an answer this week we're all just so excited that we can't contain it lol

[Dewey Cox]

I'm not on the Facebook.
What exactly did they say, anyway?

[Farmer2285]

That they'd be getting an answer this week and they'd announce it on goc could be as early as Monday night is basically what they said

[JustBen]

I'm not on the Facebook.

Expect to make an announcement on GOC for Monday night...

[Pariegh]

They basically said that the lab has finished the classification process and they (NEA) should know what it is soon and they should have an announcement on the GOC forums at the latest by the end of the week, and it would quite likely be (last) Monday night.



I think NEA should have waited at least until they knew for sure what the classification was before they started the hype train rolling again. I'm being cautiously optimistic that it will be NR but not really counting on it as a sure thing. Now there will be a lot of very disappointed people if the lab found a way to make it restricted.

[B-rad]

http://thefw.com/files/2012/10/great-pumpkin-linus.jpg

Classified as restricted? The hopes and dreams of a relatively inexpensive, accurate, non restricted semi-auto dashed... However, the 8 Ball says that it will come out as non-restricted. I haven't been led astray yet.

I've got nothing but time. Nothing I can do to make this go any quicker anyway.

[Grizz Axxemann]

I have never let a girl cock-tease me to this extent. Why the hell am I letting a gun manufacturer do basically the same thing?

[Danimal85]

yup

This sums up NEA's marketing strategy all too well

Guns are more fun, they never say no and they never leave you with a case of blue balls.

[SFRC]

Actually I believe the 102 has give many of us blue balls so far, lol

[EvilGrin]

My credit card has blue balls right now too. It has been primed and ready for some NEA goodness and lots of ammo and accessories.

[Codyg14]

I've come to the conclusion that it will be announced tomorrow to coincide with many firearm owners paydays. Then we can all be broke shortly after and NEA will have a wheelbarrow full of money.

[Therapy]

Nea may be getting dicked around by rcmp but all I know is to say they're expecting an announcement Monday and then not address the situation when they haven't heard anything leaves a bad taste in my mouth for nea.

NEA said that rcmp told them they will get the answer this week. So until the weeks over it's all good to me.

[cyph3r]

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

Okay my bad. It does say this week sometime on their fb page. I thought I read somewhere that a decision was imminent on the Monday.

In the comments under that post they did say to expect Ã*t monday night

[EvilGrin]

I agree. Waiting sucks, but I do appreciate the heads up and will wait the week without issue. I'm sure I'll complain and hit the refresh button and be all excited, but that is a much better option than not knowing the announcement is coming this week and missing out on the first batch that go up for sale.

My prediction is Friday afternoon. The RCMP probably mailed out the papers Monday. Give Canada Post four days to deliver it, and NEA will disseminate the information as soon as they receive it. That being said, I hope it is today!

[Therapy]

Yup. From their fb page

North Eastern Arms
We expect Monday night... watch Goc for the news

Also from their fb page in April


North Eastern Arms
The clock runs out on the RCMP in 30 days. They have to give us a classification by end of May.

[jwirecom109]

Nothing today so don't use all your data.

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

[sushix2]

For sure,
Cheap and if it can take xcr-m pistol mags? 10 rounds of pew pew.. someone might have a heart attack and find reasons to restrict.

Isn't this machined from a prohibited block of aluminum?
Maybe they're all prohib now :smash:

you could still use the aia enfield mags in the ar-10b pattern, they wouldn't have last shot hold open though

[sushix2]

yeah the E-Lander ones

but the problem is that those ones don't have the cut out for the magazine retention thing

http://i.imgur.com/1l7f9sb.jpg

and I suspect modifying a mag to have that notch would be analogous to "manufacturing" etc etc.. all boils down to do you wanna risk pound you in the ass prison.

[Randomized]

They posted on facebook that they take standard AR10 mags

[Farmer2285]

Actually I didn't see an Ar 10/102 80% lower listed on the list of prohibited ones so I'd say no it was not! Bit I know what you mean lol

You are aware that NEA has been promising announcements on this for almost 6 months?There has been several pending announcements which have gone nowhere.At this point I think it would be in NEA's best interest to say nothing till it has an FRT in hand and product on the way to the retailers.

[EvilGrin]

Yeah I have been following along since the beginning and I know how it feels to see a message that gets us all excited and then be left in the dark. But I'm pretty forgiving as I understand what NEA is trying to accomplish. Just think about how long people have been talking about making a new non-restricted AR-102. People have been begging manufacturers and importers to make it happen. All I have heard from everyone else is that if we can provide a full set of dimensioned fabrication drawings then they will make it happen. And then we have NEA who decided to make it happen for real. They put in the time and effort as well as R&D money into it in order to give us what we have been asking for for years. Are they great at communicating and setting realistic expectations on time lines? LOL No not at all. Are they working on giving us something we have been wanting for what feels like forever? Absolutely. For that much I am grateful.

Sorry. Guess I'm getting grumpier as I get older but I find no humour in it at all.

[Dewey Cox]

Doesn't matter if it's very funny.
It's a joke at the rcmp's expense, so I'll laugh at them.

[enoch]

if real when can we order IF we can order?

[cyph3r]

Probably next year sometime..

[enoch]

I don't think so...NEA already has them on production so it's a matter of offering the accessories, finish and taking orders!

At least I hope so!!!

Actually it was a joke directed at NEA, it was never meant to be a jab at the lab.

[DOOK]

I would get one regardless of classification.

If it does get classed as NR, please tell us that you have them in stock and ready to ship post haste?

[Madeinthesheets]

I'm hoping for an announcement tomorrow. It would be a nice weekend starter! Any bets on how fast they'll sell out?

[tinman304]

the "other forum" has it pretty clearly stated as a NR rifle....
