NEA 102

The 102 is not dead, the Rcmp has 6 months from the time we filed to give us a classification. We already have the frt that lists the 102 as a variant of the already non restricted armalite ar102.l

They filed in Dec 2016.

So we should still be good for deer season.

That's fine that the delay may be the fault of the RCMP, but NEA shouldn't be promoting this sort of gun coming if there is a risk a a six-month delay.

A better course of action would be to wait for the RCMP non-restricted approval and THEN post the upcoming specs about the rifle while you build a ton.

Then in the month it takes you to build the first run of 1,000, the Canadian internet frenzy happens, and when the buzz is at its culminating point you launch them for sale.

That's how you win marketing.

You lose marketing by showing your audience something that's coming "soon", and then don't deliver for 6+ months. It doesn't matter if it's your fault or not.

I'm literally crapping my pants trying not to buy other stupid stuff while I'm waiting for this.

If I wasn't in the middle of selling my house and moving, I'd have already spent it. I make absolutely no promises beyond the middle of May.

This isn't marketing 101.

It's marketing 102.
HEY-OH!

After reading the 375 raptor thread, I've came to the conclusion that this would be a great platform.

Any details on whether the NEA102 uses an AR10 barrel or is there something different?

So apparently the rcmp does not have a 6 month deadline.

CBC hurts my head.....if it was so secret, how come we all knew about it?

I don't see what was wrong with Blaney's directive for the RCMP to actually do their job.

Nothing, CBC just had to spin it as bad because guns are bad.

It's been a month since anyone posted in this thread.
Remember how excited we were 5 months ago?

My excitement packed up and moved out

So did my NEA102 money. Right to a Troy PAR.

NEA fails at marketing. The wave of hype broke and crashed months ago.

Not sure why they would expect an obstructionist police force to actually do their jobs instead of the usual Go Slow, which I'm certain has more to do with the anti gun culture than it has with staffing.

I assumed they had some actual solid information when it was announced, rather than a stopwatch and the timetable of a former minister from a previous government....
