Happy with your NEA?

So out of the 18 of you that have commented so far, 8 of you have had problems?
Keep in mind that the early NEA guns are much more likely to be problematic and the newer ones are much better.
No. Deliberately trolling and hijacking threads does though.
The OP asked if members were happy with their NEA. I'm sure some people are not, and that's fine. If you don't have one and don't have anything to contribute, then perhaps you should not just inflate your post count.
There is a big difference between posting the "truth" about your own experiences and just trolling out pointless slander against ANY company or product.

Please try to keep this on track. I don't want to send another one to the boneyard.

I am happy with both of mine. Change the trigger springs in my 10.5" and changed out the trigger in my 18" for a Geiselle. No issues so far.

That's what I did. I had an early version and my trigger wasn't actually that bad. It didn't matter to me though as I knew I was going to upgrade regardless. Now that I have spent some time with my S3G trigger I find every stock AR trigger I try is just not right!
I have 2 NEA 7.5 rifles... both rifles have had 0 FTF's/FTE's to date but one rifle has had a few issues.
The fit on the one rifle is less than acceptable as the hole for the rear takedown pin is too big, and the original pin falls out with little or no effort.
The second issue is that the forward assist must of had some type of flaw in the metal, when I placed it on my work bench the knob and part of the pin snapped off. when I posted this on the CGN NEA forum, I was told that it had to have been my fault and NEA would not take responsibility for it. they finally sent me a new F/A (no charge).

Not trying to hijack the thread but... Trigger issues seem to be the biggest complaint of the NEA rifles. I have a problem with my rifle "doubling" I want to keep a standard milspec trigger, who would you suggest? If you want to keep it out of the thread please just PM me and I will research any suggestions.

I also had mine "doubling" I think the disco was not engaging properly, and on reset it was firing. I contacted NEA, few days later new trigger! 300 rounds later still no issues.
Mine is in the <50 serial # range and I haven't had any issues other than not locking open after the last round with some o my LAR mags. I got it off the consignment wall at pheonix looking like it had less than 100 rounds through it. I've put another ~1,300 rounds through it and am happy with it. The trigger was a bit heavy but deffinitelly serviceable, that said I just put a Geissele S3G in it.
Picked it up like the picture minus the rings/optics. No it has a tan Troy VTac 13" rail, tan UBR, S3G and Vortex cantilever mount. Have yet to figure out a light and mount for it though.
