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.

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

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!
 
Yup. From their fb page

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

Also from their fb page in April

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

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.

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
 
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.

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

yeah the E-Lander ones

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

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.
 
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.

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.
 
Really? They keep everyone waiting and then post this. Not lol.
 
Sorry. Guess I'm getting grumpier as I get older but I find no humour in it at all.
 
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!!!

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

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

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?
