If its built to any spec, MAYBE some AR10 parts can be substituted with lightweight ones.
I'm really hoping this release goes better then the AR15 one... that was a embarrassing.

Like the AR you were going to manufacture and sell?
The snippy comments from end users I get, but you're in the business...I have no idea of the backstory between you and NEA but you sure seem to get off on cheap shots. Don't you bump into Ryan at industry functions and such? Doesn't that get, ummm, uncomfortable?

Good god I hope it is milspec. Or someone else will make it to milspec. AR-10 interchangeability would be sweet 
could drop in a DPMS G2 bolt I suppose, or failing that, some bolt from some manufacturer who will have properly heat treated it

Thats why im gonna sit back and enjoy looking at what can or cant be done before getting one. Im not gonna be a NEA guinea pig with an unproven platform.

You won't be able to drop in a G2 DPMS bolt. Different system.
This is great news!

I wonder how many good deals are going to pop up on the EE while people scramble to find money. Ofcourse, until the EE is flooded with $1000 NEA102's.

figured. I mean, this is good news, but remember who's making it. And the fact that the AR-10 had reliability issues until they updated the design. I still want to want one though.

I've been a early adopter before on some other firearms. Not this time for me.
If it really is a exact copy of a AR102, about the only thing that might be interchangeable with modern AR10 parts is the barrel & barrel nut, barrel extension, gas block & magazines. I have a feeling NEA managed to get some stuff by the RCMP. So we will have to wait and see what fits and what doesn't.

I got to agree. Give them some props and let them enjoy the moment after all the hard work they just put in for the 2eh movement!
Any company can improve or recover their QC rep, but unfortunately for me as a lowly consumer with limited access to info that won't become self evident until sufficient volume of anecdote field reports resembling stats.
Is it bad that based on the above rationale I'm still holding out for the K&M M17s / Scar in 308?
But yes congrats nonetheless!
