NEA Non-Restricted Rifle? "NEA25"

Status
Not open for further replies.
Did carbon fiber exist when the first versions of the AR-10 were being made? This was well over 50 years ago. Could just be fiberglass.
There were semi auto only AR-10s made. The majority of AR-10s were selective fire, both prototypes and production.
The AR-15 did evolve from the AR-10. The design was downsized.
The currently produced restricted AR-10ish rifles are derived from the AR-15 - that is why the bolt carriers are reduced diameter toward the rear. The AR-15 was upsized for the larger round. This is why they are restricted as variants of the AR-15.
A resurrected semi auto AR-10, true to the original, should qualify as N-R.

Perhaps someone with access to FRT can chime in.

I would be very interested in seeing someone produce it. As I said many have looked through the database and come up with nothing but it's possible it's hurried hidden away where we can't find it. Maybe even locked up in Justin's secret stash next to his pipe and bag of weed.
 
Another non restricted AR type rifle other than ATRS would hopefully bring prices down for the guys who can't afford $3400. !! Also can I get some info about the NEA quality as Iam new to the AR platform and I've heard diff things about NEA 's quality. I was thinking about the 762\39 so I can shoot cheap ammo ???? Cheers

If I remember correctly you do have FRT access so can take help us out and confirm if the paperwork actually does still exist for the non restricted AR10's ??

It does appear to be carbon fibre in the stock and handguard. the pistol grip Bakelite.

Like a blend of Madonna with Katy Perry. I'd drink their bath water.

Madonna's still pretty hot for her age, I'd toss it in there. And Katy Perry....I'd eat a mile of her....

The original AR10 is already NR and if I understand what NEA is doing, they are trying to argue that their gun is a copy of the original AR10 not an adapted AR15. So how does that effect the other 308 ARs which are all AR15's upsized to 308? Or is everyone making assumptions here?

This is the coles notes;

The AR15 was based off the original Stoner AR10.

Years later KAC (with Stoner) scaled the AR15 back up/improved upon the original design and called it the SR-25 (Ar10 + Ar15 = SR25.....or so Wikipedia says....).

Around the same time, a dude named Mark purchased the rights to Armalite and did his own redesign, and named it..... the AR10. Armalite currently owns the name AR10.

Then a bunch of other companies made various versions.

Everybody erroneously calls .308 AR rifles 'AR10's, however: SR25=KAC, AR10=Armalite, AR308=general term for .308 AR rifles.

Carbon fibre's been around for a long time, since the late 1800s, but it really didn't evolve into it's modern iteration as we see it to day (motorsports, aerospace etc) until the late 50s early 60s. Mainstream use probably wasn't seen until about the 80s.

I really cannot see how ATR justifies $3400.00 for their rifle.

Easy, basically if it's black, NR, and it's in Canada, it's gonna be around $3k to start. Tavor, ACR, XCR (what do these things go for everywhere else in the world?), etc....if the AR-10 goes NR, or if NEA gets into the game for $1,500, I bet prices for will drop for the others.

Armalite was a division of Fairchild Aircraft, so carbon fiber may have been used. Production AR-10 parts I've seen were not carbon fiber.
