    I've fired this lower. Fit and finish is excellent and the it is MUCH nicer overall than the SIG 556 lower.

    I would much rather have a lower that uses the same mags as the rest of my tac guns. I can use one set of gear and the same mags across all platforms. Win/Win. I'm a big fan of the outcome. The fact that a Canadian company could spit this out so fast with this quality and the price point reached.. kudos.

    I'm in for a complete lower... if it comes with the same color as my classic green !

    Give NEA a break guys. We are a tiny, tiny market. The more markets NEA can open up will translate into better pricing for us. NEA is one of the few company's out there who are willing to pass on actual savings to their retail customers as they stream-line their production process and reduce costs - instead of keeping prices as is and maximizing their profits like so many other US & Canadian businesses.

    For those looking to colour match lowers with uppers, contact CGN user "Murdoc" who does a bang-up job and offers a really professional epoxy based gun finish that duplicates the original Swiss Arms colours.

    I spoke to Murdoc yesterday, he was mixing up a batch of green love for the swiss lowers. Give him a call.

    For those bitching about having to swap the internals from the swiss to the new lower, why?

    I can't help but think that this new lower would be a far better option.

    Why would you be going back and forth?

    Just curious as it makes little sense to me.

    Are all of the other upper parts available? If so, would a complete upper parts set, NEA lower, and LPK be cost-effective compared with buying the whole rifle and retrofitting the new lower?

    I have a SA rifle. I am happy with the upper and lower. Why would I buy a different lower? Just for the AR mags? For me the expense and hassle plus the fact that I will "neutralize" my SA, for which I paid dearly, far outweigh the 10 round benefit for the AR mags. As for statements that SA mags suck, well, since I don't jump out of planes and do fast roping down helicopters any more to damage my plastic SA mags, I'll pass. However, having said all that as my own view on the subject, I must applaud NEA for their willingness to venture into new directions and the more Canadian made-choices we have, the better. If I had a spare set of inner parts for the SA lower or I could buy them at a reasonable price then I would consider the NEA lower.

    I think these are really being marketed to the crowd that want to use 10 rounders for drills and comps etc. Otherwise spending this kind of money if you are perfectly happy with your SA lower would judt be a waste.

    That said if you want to be able to run your SA in CQB, and others than I see no reason to be switching back and forth. If these lowers prove to be reliable I would do as is suggested and sell my SA lower, and be done with it.
