The fail with this whole issue is huge.
Several months ago NEA started posing teaser pics of the rifle suggesting it would be NR.
Those are the sorts of things you do to build interest for going live with an "add to cart" option within a couple weeks.
This entire endeavour has shown that NEA does not have a real plan, and they have amateurs at the wheel making decisions.
That is unfortunate because I want NEA to do well. I am cheering for them, I want this rifle, and I have money ready.
However, they seem to be going out of their way to prove that they are incompetent enough not to deserve our money
