Very nice! Now if Canada Post would hurry up and deliver mine I wouldn't be so jealous...

Yeah, no kidding.

At least since t0rch and I have the exact same accessories I know what to expect when mine is put together.

Thanks for spoiling the surprise t0rch......

In the sixth picture the end of the rail (closer to the receiver) doesn't seem quite right. The tabs look to be squished together. Is it designed that way?

Maybe it's just the angle.

I think that's the rail end clamps on the delta ring or barrel nut. It's easy fix I believe.

It is designed that way.

great post! how about a range report

 

[snipersyn]

The explanation I got was as the rail was so long and in the interest of saving weight the side rails were kept to a minimal. As such the pinch points were kept to the side to maximize the amount of lower rail available and to get the rail as close to the reciever as possible.

To each there own.

Perhaps NEA should provide a scaled down version where the railed handguard in NOT included. The clamping does look 'drab' per se, but yes, to each their own.

Now, for a range report.

 

[t0rch]

Thanks for the pics! That is a sharp looking rifle. The hand-guard is very nice.

Are you able to take a pic of the bolt carrier key? It doesn't look like it from the pics, but did they stake the castle nut?

Bolt carrier key is staked, castle nut is not. Which suits me fine as I want to put a sling plate and milspec tube on it anyway.

Range test is set for tomorrow.

Er... komrade.

Lots of length on that forend, that's for sure.....looks like it'll be damn cold to hold at -30 too.

No gloves?

No different than any other aluminum fore-end.

That'd be why I like quad rails/protectors. Hell, a set set of M4 Fatty's even.

 

[redryder]

This is great t0rch. Keep it up komrade.

 

[maurice]

VERY NIce!...I would like to be making romance on this rifle while making toilet, no make up....Yak-shimash.

So you are in the habit of shooting guns at -40 with no gloves? Or are you just being nitpicking douche?
