NEA Non-Restricted Rifle? "NEA25"

Status
Not open for further replies.
If NEA is successful at reclassifying the AR10 designation or markets the NEA25 as a NR rifle the sales will go through the roof. Haters will hate no matter what but, they will be in the minority as many on this board will jump at the opportunity to purchase this NEA product. I for one would relish the ability to Hunt in Canada with a rifle such as this.

NEA is trying to change the industry in Canada and everyone should be on board to assist.
 
I don't get it,nea gave up on the Canadian public / civie shooters years ago.
I'm guessing someone else in involved in bringing this to market and useing nea as the MFG.
Nea has been focused on overseas order last few years to the point that Canadian dealers that helped establish them can't even get orders filled.

Maybe because the general shooting public in Canada has repeatedly dumped on a home grown manufacturer for the sake of an overseas polluting, forced children labour, copy protection stealing communist regime.

What do you base this on? Why don't you give Canada Ammo a shout and ask them their thoughts?

When the AR10 is reclassified as NR, because of the leg work NEA has done, you better be the first in line offering an apology.

It must say alot about the quality of nea product for the general shooting public to go that route.

I have purchased nea products in the past and lets just say crap is to good a word for the product i had. If they have changed and its a much better product i would gladly buy Canadian, what i will not do is buy crap just because its Canadian.

Its simple, if you have a good product it will sell as long as its at reasonable price, and on price nea was reasonable but it missed the quality.

I hope things have changed.

No, it's like saying cheap budget rifles in good hands can do better then expensive superrifles in lugnut joes hands.

Obviously frank, but that does not mean its a better rifle, it means you are the more competent shooter. Give both rifles to the same competent shooter to get an accurate measurement of the differences between the products.

By your line of thinking, just because playboy millionaire wraps his lambo around a light poll and you win the race in your stock 92 corolla by default does not mean your car was better, but rather you were more in control of the vehicle you had at your disposal.

A tool is only as effective as the person using it.
 
$1500?

I'm interested.

I missed all of the bad blood with NEA, since I only got into the AR a few years back. Nothing wrong with mine, and the lowers fit my various other uppers nice and tight - no air, no wiggles.

Kinda not impressed by the snark of the not-a-competitor competition, though. Attitude like that turns me off.

No professional affiliation at all. I just happen to be an aquaintance with one of the shop hands at NEA. I just find it both interesting and frustrating that 2 Canadian manufacturers are in this thread, slandering NEA and minimizing what they are about to accomplish. They clearly have financial incentive to make derogatory statements as both of them exclusively need the Canadian civilian market to keep their businesses afloat. Whatever happened to selling a product based solely on the merits of it rather than attacking the competition?

It really is too bad the Canadian manufacturers can't all get along with each other and push the movement forward together. If we had unity there as well as with our lobby groups, we'd be much further along.

Absolutely agree, very distasteful and unprofessional. I Have had the opportunity to hold and shoot a couple of newer NEA rifles, they were great. You dont need a 5k gun to shoot, many lower priced guns work well and have a great fit and finish.
I bought myself a gen 4 POF P308 and its very well made amd very accurate and has a track record to boot. But I would never shy away from an NEA either. And being a Canadian product I would choose to support them before others in that range.
Good on them I hope they get it figured.
If the AR10 becomes NR Ill buy an NEA as well.
 
So, are they working on producing a copy of the original NR AR10, or working on getting 308 AR's reclassified as NR?

Canadian manufactures don't get along because it's business and they are in competition with each other. Plus when one manufacture offers a product at 3x the price and only the boys in the starving oil patch can afford them. Eventually they realize they are in big trouble when a product like this is looking to come on the market.

NEA has had this in the works for a while. It took time because they went the route of tracing lineage back to the Stoner schematics and the NR AR10.

This is pre-ATRS and there are samples under scrutiny for the NR FRT.

Currently in Germany fulfilling contracts.

So it's a Robarms?

From what I've seen over the years, it will never happen in Canada. Why should it really? Make a good product and see what the market thinks.
Lobby groups? What a joke. Divided we fall. We haven't learned yet.

I guess what I meant is, it would be nice to see manufacturers be willing to swallow their pride and utilize each other for their expertise. For example, if one manufacturer excels at making receivers and one manufacturer excels at making barrels, they could easily do business and grow together rather than be at each others throats. Similar to Knights and LMT....I do recognize it will likely never happen, there is too much pride in humanity.
 
Well I hope we hear more positive new on this in the near future. The price point is very appealing and there would be a good market for this.

Anyone haphazard a guess on what mags it takes?
 
I am just tired of the same 2 CGN members constantly trying to thwart our efforts for their own agenda.

Sucks Eh!!!

Good thing you didn't exercise some bad judgement with marketing and parts suppliers...getting jumped on by two would be a sign of progress in some eyes.

Here's a few random thoughts, the first decade of 2000 saw the development of "Stealth Marketing". By the time NEA was selling rifles this was probably a very common strategy across industries...bad advice, bad judgement, or a bit of both?

Until a supplier sends you an actual example of the product you can't say 100% it will meet the standards you specified. You also can't predict what they will do going forward. If the failure of whole lots of parts is due to going with the lowest price bid, obviously you better have another layer of QC in place...that or go with the guy with the better rep. Bad judgement can result from several factors, bad advice, ignorance, or greed, I don't pretend to know the root, just it looks like they have fixed these problems.

2...imagine 10-15, accounting for 60-70 % of the posts with nothing to add but escalating rhetoric...Google...Images..."Explosion" gives a much different result than "Broken Part". Some of you need to open a window, the air quality must be getting bad, or perhaps NEA isn't the only one indulging in Gorilla Marketing. An NEA thread fills with crap so fast you'd need an air pack just to get through the stink so you can start digging through the bullstuff to get some idea of reality.

Looking forward to a positive result!!!! If this goes as it looks like it may, you anti-shills best bow down...AR-10 predates AR-15...AR-10 not a listed Prohib...hahahahahahaha, this is ####'n great!!!!

you have no idea, what you are talking about, best to stick with Golf, or something.
It would be great for the Canadian public to have another non restricted semi auto rifle.

There are 3 types of products cheap good and high quality, the issue is some MFG try to convince the public they are a quality product, but that not why there market is.
Lets take cars, Kia make a cheapo car, they know they make a cheap car and they try and stay in there lane, at times pushing the market a little, trying to convince people its more then what is just a basic cheap car. But mostly they know there market is cheap new cards that last 150k.

Dodge on the other hand, try to tell you they make a quality product, market is as such, with words like bumper to bumper warenty. but in the end its a cheap over prices product, dressed up as a quality product.
Dodge owners are unhappy, if said dodge owners would have brought a Kia, knowing that its a cheap basic product, most smart people would be happy.

same from brands like NC star, fubus holsters, they keep to there lane, they know they are cheaply made product , no ones says I broke my nc star mount, "what happened" im so supprised" .
Buy a DD, KAC or Larue mount, marketed as the best and, you get a quality product.
I could go one for days about this..
