I am looking into getting a swiss arms black special rifle.

I just have a couple questions.

I really want a nea lower, is there any cgn dealers that stock them, what would I be looking at to pay for one?

What are my option for top rails and prices?

And if I want tritium sights for my rifle, do they come stock, or Do I have to add them? How much?

I am going to be shooting mostly factory bulk rounds like remington umc. Is the 1:10 twist barrel good for it?

Is there a warranty center for swiss arms in canada?

Thanks for all your help.
 
good choice.

Tritium comes standard

The shooting edge in Calgary is distributor and the Warranty center in canada

the 1 in 10 twist will work best for bulk ammo as you suspect

B&T makes the best top rail, they run about $200 bux depending on where you get one. I would check Wolverine, or the Shooting Edge

No idea where to get an NEA lower. I get why people use them, I do, but I wouldn't put any Canadian made NEA product on a Swiss Rifle. I just think it's a low quality item, and from what I have read about fit and finish here on gun nuts, there far from perfect. I know that Swiss Arms makes a AR mag accepting lower, probably way more expensive though, but I bet Stefan @ The Shooting Edge could source one. It's up to the user. I know there are a lot of guys out there that love there NEA lowers. I have just always felt that for the most part NEA and other Canadian company's like it make products for the Canadian market, therefore these products do not need to be tested and stressed as they would be by big name firearm manufactures, because the Canadian market, for the most part anyway, (apologies to those who use there rifle) barely take there "Safe Queens" out once or twice a year. How long would an NEA lower last if subjected to 5000-6000 rounds a year and the abuse that a small few put there rifles through? I think it might hold up, but I know for sure the Swiss product will. They test them too. See my point here. I have no intent on starting an argument, this is just my opinion.

Remember using the NEA lower also gives you the use of AR stocks and their adjustable LOP. It's not just about the 10 round mags. I also prefer the AR style mag release. I'm satisfied with mine. It's not perfect, the finish doesn't match the upper, the bolt catch spring channel is too shallow, there is some slop in the rear takedown pin, and the machining is a little rough in places. But it works, and between the AR stocks, AR mags, and AR mag release I'm satisfied with it despite its imperfections.

It's just an older version of the lower receiver, before improvements were made to make it a bit stronger in the mag well area.
