NEA 102

[Petamocto]

What's the NEA groupthink? I've not seen or shot an NEA before.

Originally had some quality control issues with their black ARs looking grey, (and mismatched uppers/lowers), as well as some bolt issues on some AR calibres, but in the last decade or so they have been making mostly good stuff.

Canadian company, too, so best to support if possible.

Back in the day, I had my eyes and pocketbook on a original Dutch AR-10. At the time firearms were considered harmless and I went for the Belgian FAL instead. Had I the cash I would have bought both.

I've shot a small pile of rounds out of mine, hard use and competition. I've had absolutely ZERO hiccups so far, the rifle has run 100% flawlessly. Every. Single. Bit. As well as my friends DD....except my NEA is more accurate!!

Nice. I'm all about Canadian guns. I'd like to get my hands on one of those Dlask Sig clones someday, and despite the gripes about Para-Ord when it was in Canada, I'd like to try/own one too.

They have been selling these in NZ and South Africa as a NEA 25 for awhile now so they should have the bugs worked out by now .
On my first gen NEA15 I had a hammer spring leg break and it has run fine other than that.
Great warranty as well . If it comes out as a non restricted 308 NEA 102 with a suggested price of $1500 .... I will be getting one for sure

Any updates?

[Dewey Cox]

I still want one

[TLSpeed]

I still want one

Exactly! Me too

[sushix2]

they just published some pictures of barrels on their facebook. Also I'm thinking the whole RCMP lab is probably at shotshow, so no releases yet is my guess.

[hawk-i]

I wonder if they will announce something during shot show?

[Pariegh]

Kinda doubt they would save an announcement for shot show. I suspect if it's going to be NR the minute they get the notice of final status they will announce it so they can start raking in the dough, and estimate what they need for a production run (or runs) based on initial pre-orders and other such businessy stuff. I could see them waiting until an opportune time of day, like if they find out at 5pm they might wait until 10 am the next morning or something.

For the most part I'd be interested in the lower or whatever other thing makes it considered an "AR10" and try to hook it up to an SR25 upper/parts.

NEA just posted a picture on Facebook of a 9mm carbine and said it is going to be a NEA102 variant and offer it with a 18.5 inch barrel

[Mark-II]

Cool, if they can keep it below a grand. Going to take much to pry away my cx4.

I gather these 102s are already on the market overseas. We won't be beta testers.

I just have to decide whether to get some surplus 7.62 or suck it up and start reloading it One. Round. At. A. Time.....

Do both.
