NEA AR full auto carrier,..?..Decent quality?
- Thread starter SA85M1
- Start date
The one I recently bought (FA ARC+) lasted 15 rounds before it locked closed in my rifle. It failed (firing pin hole was 3x the size it should be) and I was required to mortar my rifle to get the bolt back. No issues returning it but my faith in NEA is gone.....once bitten, twice shy.
Edit- my rifle is in great condition and I have never had an issue with the factory BCG.

I have 2: one ARC+, and one regular park....both function perfectly and show no signs of machining imperfection.

the FA bolt carriers seem ok for most people but the bolts are another story
I'm all for buying Canadian too, but I'm not going to buy a piece of crap just because it's Canadian, I think going with Stag is definitely the better choice.
I will never ever buy anything NEA again. I don't care if they have them made by LMT, if it says NEA on it I will give it an automatic pass. They may have good customer service regarding warranty, but the sheer volume of people that have had to put that to the test is absolutely incredible.
Anything else.
The mass adds to reliability in cycling. More mass = more force stripping cartridges from the magazine.
Yes and no. It adds weight but not much really. If an AR is having issues cycling, a heavier buffer is the solution.... but when you buy parts from quality manufactures,,, you don't end up with cycling issues.
The fact that FA BCGs available for the same or slightly more than a SA BCG, it's worthwhile getting FA imo for even just the strength increase of more mass.
