There are two kinds of posters on this forum, those who find a blown up rifle to be an OK thing, and those who are running away.

I am running away.
 
To quote the league:

Ruxin: Just be careful of the paint you use.

Kevin: Why?

Ruxin: Because I am currently representing a cheap paint company whose cans allegedly explode.

Pete: Just out of curiosity, what is your defense?

Ruxin: Well, if you are purchasing something that is half the price of your competitors, then there is a reasonable expectation that that product will explode in your face.

Pete: And morally, you're good with this?

Ruxin: There was just one word in there that I am not familiar with.
 
Deagle has a gun that was made in early 2013. If you recall some NEA's had bolts that were breaking as well as forward assists that were breaking. I would assume some were over heat treated. This is what caused NEA to start making bolts and some other items they didn't make to being made in house.

The burst firing issue is more than likely caused by the fact that his gas block loosened up...it is slightly forward which would cause short striking, bursts and jams...especially in a 7.5" gun.

Deagles gun has been sent back to us and everything is being taken care of.

Often NEA sends out replacement parts if an older gun breaks. If you don't feel comfortable installing these parts or don't have the tools, there is always the option to send it to the factory for them to fix.

Almost (not all but almost all) the problems that come up still are with guns made the first few years.

I'll have to look into how a loose gas block can cause burst firing. Never heard of that one before...

You'll usually get a 2-3 round burst then a jam. I've seen it lots of time on a short barreled AR with a pistol length gas system.
 
Just curious why NEA would not just do the responsible thing, and put out a recall program? Likey these types of threads would seise, and desist. it only hurts them In the long run having thread after thread, with the same issues coming up.
 
Was a shame to, I was quite impressed with their new finish and everything looked pretty good too tell my friend noticed the barrel wasn't sitting right compared to the handguard. Once I had that off it was pretty easy to see a curve in the actual barrel. As for the stripped lower, was one of those on sale deals and obviously old stock with the lighter finish. It wouldn't fit any of my uppers and when I put it on the 7.62 nea upper I couldn't get the rear take down pin to go through. Maybe if I hit it home with a hammer but what's the point, sent it all back for a refund.
 
Just attempted to run 1500 rounds through the new NEA 7.62x39 - failure to feed - failure to feed - failure to feed....6 different xcr mags thinking ok 1 was bad I will try another - NEA finally sent out an Elander mag (nice mage FYI) and NEA said to me - Let us know how the new mag works. I would assume they know and have tested it to be sure - I assumed wrong - it fed 10 rounds awesome I smiled I had hope - then the top bent or swelled out so bad it won't go back in the mag well. If you force it in it won't feed - I blamed myself for a long time thinking operator error. This is jut not the case. It won't work - 7 different mags - modified - unmodified - just does not shoot. You can argue and say its a new gun - gonna have to work out the bugs - then give it to me free - I will shoot the crap out of it and send it back with a report - don't charge me full price and tell me to keep trying new mags. I really wanted to support a Canadian Company but they just are not ready for prime time and if your like me - $1200 is too much to test something out - I wanted dependable. Kudos to SFRC though for helping me through the issue - they really made things happen and helped me out.
 
Do you offer a 7.62x39?
Although, to be honest, at 2-3 times the cost of "similar", I may still have a long wait ahead of me to save up that much anyway.

Or as a consumer you support companies that don't build subpar products and sell them at a midrange price point.

Honestly at this point anyone who buys nea after all these threads of rifle after rifle having problems they are just as much at fault as nea for making the defective products if their rifle gives them problems.

you would think the consumer would have wisened up and said, no thanks I will get a colt 6920 or daniel defense or something to that effect. What's that saying fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

You are correct but there is something else. I was at the range yesterday with few friends. Only 1 of them knew about CGN and doesn't use it much. Two of them which dont use CGN were considering NEA rifles. Well take a guess at what I responded to their consideration. My intention is not to bash or insult any companies but only to inform my fellow CGNers so they can inform others about the company in question. I hope this helped many of those who were actually considering those products. Kinda like BUYER BEWARE
