My new Swiss (with NEA lower) arrived!

[cyclone]

Looks very nice !

 

[smak_daddy]

Very nice, I want one or ten. The diopter sights are great. The conversion for AR mags to boot makes this a great gun. It is pricey though, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Yeah I've been dry firing it. The sights are great. The tritium dot on the front post and the two on the rear sight still glow bright.

I'll have a range report in a weeek or so.

That looks great with the A2 stock.

I use the A2 on my accuracy AR rifles as well. I've always liked it. It looks right with that lower and the Swiss arms upper. Nice. Thanks for posting pictures of it.

 

[enefgee]

Damn, that looks good - if not for the colour change on the upper, you'd swear it came from the factory that way.

 

[DMcFaul]

I have been running an A2 stock on my Classic for a while now. It just "fits". It's a very comfortable setup. The LOP is perfect, the sight line is perfect.. Turns the Swiss into the perfect Battle Rifle.

 

[Waynetheman]

Does the NEA lower colour match a black special upper?

 

[Swampy]

Thats a hot looking set up there. No wonder you have some AR related items up for sale. Yes, a range report and related pictures would be in order.

 

[Agent Law]

Does the NEA lower colour match a black special upper?

NEA lower is gray, so probably not.

 

[MagnumPeanut]

f**king bulls**t!

I've been fighting this project from day one, hell I've been fighting the swiss rifle from day one. I've been nit picking everything I could think of so that I wouldn't buy one in hopes to save my wallet.

Damn you NEA for taking this rifle over the top and damn you all for posting pics of yours! Hell damn the Conservatives for taking this rifle off the registry! (soon)

Damn everyone! now I gotta go buy one...

Is he mad?

I see. Never seen either in person so i dunno.

 

[enefgee]

Colour is nothing a trip to Murdoch couldn't fix.

 

[smak_daddy]

Colour is nothing a trip to Murdoch couldn't fix.

Agreed.

But, honestly, the colour difference doesn't matter to me one bit. I will leave it as is.

Think of it in terms of this:

The colours don't match, but who cares?

I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it ... hmmmm ... :?

It would be nice to see them come from NEA already finished like the Green/Black specials. After all, that is what these are designed to fit on. There is no Swiss gun that matches that finish.

My concern is still, what will happen to the tolerances to the lower once it has been spray and baked? I would hate to paint over top the factory parking, and find stuff doesn't fit. Then try and fix it, the manufacturer may not assist/help fix, fit, with the caveat of "you painted it wrong, therefore we are not responsible for that lower not fitting".

Has anyone here matched the paint and installed the parts to function properly?

Don't want to be a downer, or rain on the parade.

x2 on that. The lower seems to be well made; however, to me, having an upper and lower that don't match on a $3500 gun would bug me to no end.

The stock needs to fold, which is a main selling point for the SG series.

You are good to go on the painting. Just make sure you mask the cross pin holes and buffer tube threads.

Depends who you ask. The Spanish unit trialling our lowers hates the factory stock. Same story with every units using our G36 products.......

Sprayed and Baked... Arma Coat.

I've done 3 of these lowers now... no issues yet.

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I think it looks very funky, and will be in my pile O stuff shortly.
