Building myself a DMR type AR, suggestions?

There is nothing wrong with the NEA, its just that a lot of users here give them a hard time because of QA issues and other issues that have come along with the company. I have an NEA lower for my DMR starting point, and I think its going to be a great base to work off of.

That would indicate that there's something wrong with NEA. Their guns are s**t, and anyone who buys one deserves what they get for not paying attention to all the discussions of people saying they're s**t.....
 
Looks like my thread is going sideways... Please keep your opinions about NEA to yourself. I bought one on a whim to get into the AR club. If it turns out to be s**t then oh well.

Exactly- these guys come into your thread and start going off about NEA, when all you wanted to ask some questions and show us the progress of your build. Don't get discouraged and keep us updated!

Ditto on that! Wanna see pics when you're up and running
 
You know what the funny thing is? If B is really going to go all out on a DMR build, the end result is the rifle won't look like an NEA in any way or form other than the lower receiver and BCG.

Oh and B, by the time you're done, you'll sell your NEA because a real DMR build is so Frankensteined that all the parts of your NEA can be reassembled back to the original rifle and the DMR will be customized to the point where no NEA parts exist.
 
As already mentioned, go with a Accushot Atlas bipod with AMD or Larue lever mount...I have Harris, GG&G , Tango down . This bipod is the best by far

Your biggest investment will obviously be a good scope. Lots of good choices out there on the market. All depends how much you want to spend

As far as scope mount, if you plan to leave your optics on the DMR rifle then go with one piece from AMD Recon or Larue SPR/M4 . Both these are cantilever mount for ARs

Another option is if you are also using scope for bolt gun is to use Badger ( or comparable rings ) on a cantilever riser adapter

For example, i use this scope on one of my bolt guns during hunting season

Looks a bit ghetto, but actually stiffer than the Larue SPR/M4

Not sure what you are planning to load ( 69gr SMK , 77gr SMK ...duplicate of Mk262 load , 75Gr A-Max )

The load I find that shoots the best out of all my SPR / DMR type is the 75Gr A-Max but they are single load only

If you haven't bought dies yet you should look at the Redding competition bushing dies and a Redding competition or RCBS Gold Medal seater die

You can't go wrong with going to a good trigger like a Geissele Hi-Speed

Have fun with your new toy
 
Aftermarket trigger for sure, barrel if you have tools/knowledge or gunsmith. Spend more then you think you should on optics and you won't go wrong there. Either
 
In its product description it's mentioned several time that the PRS stock is a replacement for A1/A2 fixed stocks. Does that mean it won't work with my NEA? It comes with an M4 style collapsible stock. I am new to the AR scene...

It doesn't come with a buffer tube assembly. It is meant to be installed on a rifle buffer tube (ie the a1/a2 fixed stock tube and buffer). You'll have to pick yourself up a rifle buffer assembly to install it.
 
PRS stock, NightForce optic with NightForce tilt-o-meter + bubble leveler and Atlas tilt and wobble Bi-pod. That's what put on my Armalite AR10.

But mine can't shoot into space, get a caliber that can shoot into space cauz it be way more awesome.
