NEW: Troy 102 Non Restricted Semi Auto Rifle, PRESALE NOW LIVE!

[Jacqson]

I thought NEA was out of the firearms game after "Black Creek Labs has recently made significant strategic and operational changes in order to move into a new era of developing and manufacturing quality products for the global defence industry and the individual Canadian consumer.

One of the boldest moves that Black Creek has recently made is the decision to demerge North Eastern Arms Group."

Great news. BCL has already sent me the repair kits for my 102's.

But now that we know it was NEA's design, I am not interested at all. I'm surprised troy would risk their name on a design from a company that doesn't have a good rapport with many of its Canadian customers

Only the stupid people will lose interest in Troy’s offering because the design came from NEA. The design is solid, NEA’s execution not so much. Put the design in the hands of a manufacturer like Troy and you doubt it will be a winner? I’m not surprised that you’re surprised....that’s why we’ve all heard of Troy rifles but no one has ever heard of Brian46 rifles.

Guys,

I'll chime in here as I worked with SFRC and Troy on this;

The only part of a firearm the RCMP care about is the receiver. For the AR10, it is the lower.

To get this project to market and avoid the 12+ month wait for a unique FRT, the IP for a 102 approved lower was licensed from NEA to Troy in the USA.

Because NEA is the original manufacturer on record with the RCMP, it will also be the manufacturer. Which is separate from where it is manufactured.

The Troy 102 is not a branded NEA. It is a newly made, Troy manufactured rifle that simply uses the NEA approved TDP which has been approved by the RCMP. The changes troy made to the receiver were submitted to the RCMP and deemed to be within acceptable tolerances to the original and therefore, we could move things forward.

If anyone wants further info, please feel free to PM me, but neither SFRC or TSE are misleading anyone here.

JR

Thanks for the info!!

I must be the luckiest guy in the world. I have multiple NEA rifles and BCL rifles and the only issue I had was a feeding issue on my wife’s 22LR. Which they promptly fixed when I contacted them about it. I have pre ordered one of these and I am not worried one bit about the build quality of this rifle. Troy is a solid manufacture with one hell of a reputation for putting out top quality products and I expect nothing less with this one!

There is currently no ETA at this time as the model I think they were basing it on, the BCL102B (5.56 one), was deemed to be restricted as an AR15 variant.

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

5.56 version was deemed restricted and Troy are working to tweak the design and turn it NR or they are moving with the restricted version as is?

[essorx]

Black, I'll add that to the post, thank you for pointing that out.

Ryan

Cerakoted or anodized ? What aluminum will be used on the receiver ?

[essorx]

No.... Troy never ever ever owned or was partially owned by NEA or BCL for that matter.

Just because they used the AR102 as a basis for a firearm does not link the 2 or 3 companies in any way.

There is no such things as an AR102, that's merely a canadian thing.

What the #### are you talking about.

Suppose to be type 3 hard anodize.

No info on the aluminium. Very little specs out there for a gun in full production for 2 months.
