Canada Ammo - Large NEA parts shipment has arrived.

I understand that 7.62x39 is popular, and it seems like bronze and OD green are too, but is there any chance that black 556 (and x39) 16.5's or 14.5's will be available soon?

Can anyone shed some light on NEA for me? I've heard bad things but more recently I've heard they stand by their products. As always Canada ammo brings forward products at very reasonable prices but I am a little hesitant about it jumping right in. I'm looking at complete uppers and parts as well.

I've had back luck with one of their early products but their customer service was very good (considering the were likely busy remedying many products). I am very much considering buying one of these rifles though because it's being sold by Canada ammo. Nobody stands by their products more than them. I hear nea has come a long way with their newer products so I may have to give them another try.

I think it would be inappropriate to bad mouth a product a retailer is selling in the retailers forum. There are MANY threads outlining things you are asking. Use the search function.

Let's not let every thread with the letters "A" "E" "N" (in no particular order) get locked
 
NEA lowers are as good as any others out there. Inexpensive always gets the brand name whores in a tizzy. Aluminum mil spec. You're not taking these things into combat so worrying about things people bring up is ridiculous

Would you guys shoot surplus ammo through the 7.62x39 or would you buy better ammo to shoot out of them? I feel it would get pretty expensive.
 
Not many shoot corrosive in their big dollar babies. SKS, Mosin, cheap surplus rifles sure, but not in money guns. Lots of moving parts to clean thoroughly every time you shoot if you choose to use it.

I bought a "Z-marked" NEA lower almost two years ago. It fit fine with my NEA upper, but I could not get it to fit with any other upper. I could have meant just that lower was out of spec and that lower may have been older.

NEA has come a long way. I have a few of their products now and they are all great and very affordable.

It's just depressing when you're all excited about your build, your parts come in and... They don't fit like they're supposed to :-/ Remember when that happened with the Norcs? So many interchangeable parts were off that the retailers were calling them "AR-Like" at best, many just listing it by its Item name period.

I haven't heard of any common problems with NEA's newer stuff at all; just some who are still griping about issues from years ago.

I disagree,,, corrosive ammo is just salt in the primer.... I clean my riffles with baristol... Left them up to 3 months with no signs of corrosion.
 
NEA's ARC+ process is pretty good, I never had an issues shooting surplus or corrosive in mine, very easy to clean. And if you're worried about the gas tube, it's stainless and replaceable, you can also shoot a round or two of non corrosive. It's really a non issue.
 
Also is there any word on when the new rails will be in? Will we have those as a standard option going forward? NEA FB page is light on details as always - it also doesn't help that I'm not an FB member and they don't have much interaction on Twitter.

Surplus x39 is the cheapest way to feed an AR, add a Wolff extra power hammer spring and you'll be able to feed it anything. It's designed with corrosive ammo in mind. Check this out:

I've got thousands of rounds of corrosive(2 spam cans and some loose boxes ofRomanian)through mine,as well as a bunch of dominion arms stuff and I give it moderate cleaning every time I shoot,no issues yet.
 
Wow, I would have lost money on that bet. I am really surprised how clean and how little rust/corrosion there was.
 
This is probably a dumb question but does a standard ar-15 lower receiver work with a 7.62x39mm upper? Or do I need a different lower?
