I currently run my 10 rnd XCR mags to 8/10 but no more than 9/10 due to feeding issues. It has to be due to the round. I have 4 XCR mags and 1 NEA mag. Spent a few range trips trying to diagnose my Gen 2 NEA. Changed buffer weights, polished feed ramps, and even thru on a noveske pig for that extra pressure. Still didn't fix it, sure looks cool tho. In the end it was the mags. Being ASC or C Products or NEA it doesn't matter. Some mags just don't work. I've been debating buying another 5 mags of the new stock stores received these past few months to further engage this problem but I'm thinking it's cheaper to just swap out the barrel to 556 and be done with it entirely. Currently going on 600 rounds not a single jam using Barnaul and Norinco non corrosive since i started loading 1-2 less. Still better than 5 rounds.

It is not the round, it is the mag design
 
I am very pleased with this gun and hope the use of it equals my first positive impressions. On first picking it up it seemed heavy compared to and AR or similar rifle but when compared to the original SKS it is certainly lighter. I happen to like the tan color and will stock both tan and black. This appears to be a very well thought out rifle. Thanks to both the manufacturer and North Sylva for once again in leading the development and sales of new items and versions for the Canadian market. Phil.

A lot of AR manufacturers are just building proprietary lowers that take AK magazines, problem solved.

CMMG Mutant, MGI Hydra, etc

Upper is also proprietary and the bolt is of an ar10 I think. Too frankengun for my taste. I hope this sks rifle comes with a ak mag option. Or take it to the HK level and make the magwell adaptable. Crazy talk.
 
Awsome, was hoping someone would do something like this. It looks liek taking it down for cleaning will be a bit more involved than your typical stock. 4 or 5 hex screws on the right side?

I have played with this, I haven't shot it yet, and it seems really nice. I thought it was going to be heavy but it's much lighter than I thought. The machining is nice and over all it looks to be a nice quality piece.

Is NEA making the chassis for them? [FLAME SUIT ON].

Looking at the design, I don't see how one is supposed to clean it if corrosive ammo is fed to it regularly. If they want to sell these, show us how easy (or not) it can be field stripped and cleaned.
