Recommendation for Improvements on NEA rifles & Company.

The only thing I would improve / change is to Chuck Norris all the whiners, especially the ones who don't even own an NEA

3rd suggestion

Stop being a bunch of whiny #####es, get off the couch, go shooting.
Flame on, I can take it.

edit, s.o.b. I'm slow at typing, Avalonthas beat me to it.
 
Well they could make the changes to the trigger and the finish and what ever else some people want. But then the price goes up. Do we need another company making AR's in the 1600-2200$ price range?

Do you people really think your going to get a top quality components and finish in the price range that NEA is going for? There's going to be some compromise. They are getting people with lower budgets in to the AR world and that's great. IMHO if you want better parts or fit and finish save your money and buy something else.

The reality is here in Canada these are range toys. Some or a lot of people won't justify dropping 2 grand on a range toy.

My hats off to NEA for still posting here with all the BS. and from what I have read great costumer support. Keep making good rifles for the not so rich
 
Cosmetic suggestion:

For the love of all that is holy, step back the anodizing process to a Type III.
The grey color clashes with every other known manufacturer upper and lower, rail, accessory, etc I've ever laid hands on.

*Bonus = This should decrease the cost of production, no?
 
Why do we need to suggest how a private company can get better?

They know what they do right and where they can improve. They don;t need us to do that for them.

All we have to do is wait. And when a customer feels comfortable with the product they produce, they will buy it. Many have and some are still waiting.

Oh well. That is the way the cookie crumbles.

How about we start a thread on how Armalite, KAC, Spikes or RRA can improve their Rifles and Company.
Can we tell them how to run their business? :)

If we don't want a company commenting about their product, how about they start a second account under a normal name. Then they would be free to post in any forum.

...wait a minute....cou:

There is no doubt that the fit and finish on the NEA rifles doesn't even come close to the U.S. AR's, but they are almost as good as the Norinco's... The internals and barrels are pretty good, and you can't expect much more from a 1k rifle.... I'm not sure about NEA's statement about the trigger pull, I have one of their earlier rifles and a brand new one and both of the triggers are horrible.

NEA should probably spend more time on QC and less time on forums...

I admit that I do enjoy NEA's hilarious rants and business practices that are rivaled only by the great Alex Robinson himself, and of course their ability to make whole threads and CGN members disappear into thin air...

Agree'd. Put a new-to-me A2 stock on my DMR build today, when I pulled a 'WTF?'

What are you talking about.... people do that all the time, they talk about said rifles from different companies and give there opinions/preferences and make wish lists all the time. Why do you think members post reviews...

Hey Windham Armory offers an AR under a $1000 and they have good fit and finish and better barrel steel or more expensive materials, all keeping there costs down. At least on paper for that matter.

So the price point NEA comes at looks less attractive in that regards.

Suggestion.

1 Raise price by $200 and raise the standard and fix the trigger, or get a new one.

So a $1300 rifle that works well out of the box.

While there may be some merit to some of the criticisms in this thread, I shake my head at the "colors don't match" complaint. It's an entry level AR, not a ####ing grandfather clock. Lube it and run it - if you don't like the color, tremclad it.

Are we really discussing color coordination and gun fashion in an AR thread?
 
I thought the black rifle forum was for tech info, reviews, questions, range reports, new products, gun ####.......didn't know we were also into telling companies how they should run their business.

I like this forum because it's informative - this thread fails in that respect.

As private citizens, each of us has the right to either purchase or not to purchase a product from any given company - excercise your right, no need to waste bandwidth.

If people really feel the need to provide this unsolicited "service" to NEA management - then post it in general or vendors, not here. Or better yet - call or PM NEA directly & leave the rest of us out of it.

While you may not prefer to read thread such as this, I do. That's the beauty of a free open "forum" many people can participate all with different interests so what may not be important to you some people may enjoy reading!
Understand how forums work a little more clearly now?

Considering how many threads we have cluttering this forum of NEA fails i think this thread has merit and the purpose of it has obviously been lost amongst the usual suspects/ possible shills or #### disturbers.

The purpose was to get independent feedback not from sales reps or dealers, or people that are good friends with Dave M or have some connection to this company.

Again another post without any constructive/productive criticism, or suggestions, so if you don't like the thread then don't post.

Suggestion
1. The selector switch seemed to take a lot of unnecessary pressure to switch from safe to semi. I did however like the fact you could put the selector switch to the FA position.

Pro or Con

The fit and finish needs improvement but the coloring to me is not an issue really especially for guy's like me that will paint it for real world application and run it like gun that is being used for it's real purpose. "COMBAT RIFLE"
 
My opinion on the matter is to speak with your wallets, that is the only time manufacturers listen. If you don't like the quality, the materials, the business practices then don't buy their products. Posting on the black rifle forum probably won't get you far. If you made this thread for any other vendor Colt, Norinco, RRA, KAC, LMT or etc, they probably wouldn't notice... nor would they care. The fact that this manufacturer is so involved here, and participating actively in the threads that mention their products (and sometimes others) speaks volumes.

I don't think NEA will see this as constructive criticism, I think they will see it as salting their market. (even though I think there are some factual points being made here).
