NEA Swiss Arms Lower install help

[lockon223]

Hey,

I am looking for help from anyone who has successfully installed an NEA Swiss Arms lower on their Swiss Arms rifle.

What are any common issues that popped up while trying to install it?

At the moment, I have 2 issues,

FIRST:

The hole is larger than the spring when it is supposed to be smaller, allowing the spring to compress against it. Is this supposed to be like this? ...






SECOND:

the radius produced by the endmill is too round, the pin that holds the bolt release does not fit all the way,

As well, when it is pressed as far as it can go, the bolt release does not move at all, there is no play. Is this supposed to be like this? ...





Lastly, PMAGS do not drop free but aluminum USGI mags do, is that how its supposed to be?


I have attempted to contact NEA but the warranty support ticket on their website does not submit my entry.


I am looking for any helpful advice, tips or tricks to get this lower installed on my rifle.

Also, If anyone has any better instructions on how to install the lower

All help is appreciated

Thanks!

Try putting the bolt catch pin in from the other side?

Send it back.

I tried the pin from the other side and it was a no go,

I cant find a way to contact NEA because the warranty support ticket submission does not work :/

The bolt catch is in backwards (you have to use needle nose pliers to squeeze it together) for one. The hole is way to big at the trigger and it cannot be like that. Send it back.

Also, SFRC may be able to help you out.

If you didn't get it from them directly, call whoever sold it to you, and return it.

I would suggest that PM AngryEyeBrows, he has worked with the NEA lower on SANs and might be able to help you out. Hopefully he won't mind me saying so!!
