I agree, and this is where NEA is failing timing-wise.

Drawing something out is one thing, but today's consumer has very little patience.

If you have a product you want to tease, you've got a couple weeks to play with to build your "buzz".

Beyond that you actually start to cause harm to your brand because you make people dislike you.

You agree with a question?

I'm pretty sure this isn't going as planned for anyone (except the Rcmp)

I've Asked Jeff about this, as he wants to give away a AR102 on GOC as part of the announcement (of it coming to the Canadian market, hopefully NR)

It's a waiting game with the CFO, I think we all know that, it's not dead, it's not classified yet.

They keep getting told one date and it extends out to another date, out of the control of NEA.

Yeah. Good old arsey mp. Keeping us safe, one idiotic classification at a time.
 
C&P from nea Facebook page

North Eastern Arms
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.
I guess I can climb down from this ledge...
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
 
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....

Did this rifle ever get its NR status? I need a semi auto 308 that is not a norinco!

I read here in the comments that it did at twice the price..

Hype machine starts rolling, RCMP sees it, decides to take their sweet time and kill all hopes/hype. NEA should have shut up until they got an FRT and started the hype machine up then.
 
Still nothing eh? I'm tempted to file an ATIP for 5 bucks just to see what place this firearm is at in the classification queue. As long as this is NR and I get it before deer season I'll be okay.

I think this has jumped the shark and is being eaten by a polar bear...

The Bison aren't gonna crap this out anytime soon...
 
Hoping it's a go....had the cash saved up ready to buy a few months ago, bought a tikka varmint. ...have the cash saved up again for the 102, don't know how much longer I can resist not buying the Safari Express my LGS has in stock.

Glad to hear.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know what a kidney goes for these days?

No clue but if you find out make sure to let me know.

Also would be willing to part with my first born
 
I have been waiting patiently since NEA first started hinting about this. I told myself I wouldn't buy another gun until this was released.... My LGS changed my mind into not buy any more RIFLES until this comes out. The S&W 686 and HK SFP9 I bought don't count. :p
 
Looking forward to the range reports.

In the end I have to admit to myself that I have no real use for one, other than to piss off Liberals.

And these days you can do that for free just by telling the truth :D
 
Lots of use for a semi auto bad ass 308, moose, deer, rabbits, grouse, squirrels...... Its endless what you could use it for.:bananna::bananna::bananna:
 
I'm rubbing my nickels together for tomorrow. Hoping for a 6.5CM under $1500.
 
If this gets non res status at that price point I won't be replacing the RA XCRm I sold with another one I'll buy two of these instead!!!
