Bahaha.......no you don't
Wow this article was a good read, may have to get in on the August batch. I'll also need to get into reloading so I can afford to feed this pig
Anyone notice how the article only says T6 aluminium in reference to the upper and lower but mentions that the handguard is 6061 T6?
7.3 lbs is pretty impressive since it looks to be a fairly beefy barrel. Should be able to easily get it under 7lbs with a bit of work if that's the case.

Now there's a well balanced battle rifle!
The deal breaker for me on this is whether or not I can essentially mock it up with an AR10A2 barrel assy and stock AR10A2 furniture with a carry handle upper/iron.
If it's not compatible with that then fack it.
MOA is negligent for me. It's a semi auto black rifle. As long as it can hit fig 11's all day long at 400 meters with irons using s**t ammo like my Norc M305 then that's accurate enough for this guy!
I am excited for this oddly but not a fan of front heavy, off balance guns. I already owned and sold my XCR a long time ago. Whatever the weight of the rifle overall, if all the weight is on the big beefy barrel, then it's going to be a clumsy-to-handle, front heavy clunker like the first and 2nd gen XCR's.
That's my point. The spec listed is very vague and means nothing. Like they're trying to imply something by saying nothing.
I don't see why 6061 would be unlikely. It was originally used in the AR15/M16, possibly the original AR10 as well.

It's probably more accurate than both. Likely lighter than both. Better ergos and control for follow up shots. But who really knows because the rifles aren't out yet - even if they were I doubt a Canadian gun owner is going to do a side by side comparison.
I most certainly do my friend. Everyday I get the old "this gun's sights are off" or " the barrel is shot out". I now usually take the time to grab 5 rounds and prove them otherwise. The fun of being a range officer....
One of the guys I was talking to said he was there for some suppressor testing on some PGW's and there were 2 different suppressors they were testing but the muzzle threads on the three test rifles were so out to lunch that they could only test one of the guns because they wouldn't thread onto the other two.
The other guy had a customer buy a receiver and some magazines from PGW because they were too busy to build the rifle for him, the new gunsmith started putting it together and found that the magazines were all slightly different and wouldn't all work in the receiver/bottom metal. He also mentioned something about another rifle having an extension on the safety which was made from something not far off of cutting it from a pop can.
They look nice and most seem to shoot well but their machining (at least in the past) was pretty inconsistent.
My DPMS LR-308 would shoot sub moa with a couple different types of ammo but that was also their 24 inch stainless heavy barrel version. I think on average we might see a couple guys print the odd 1 moa or slightly better but considering the choices most seem to make on their ammo and considering the shooting ability of the majority of shooters I think we'll see a very consistent 2 moa gun with this one. Just a guess though but NEA does have barrels so the potential is definitely there.
Agreed, just like we see in almost every thread where someone says the accuracy is crap then we find out they were using cheap surplus ammo and/or not shooting off a solid rest, or this is their first semi auto or whatever. Most people don't realize how hard it is to shoot a semi auto consistently and accurately and want to blame the tool. A lot of the time it's simply unrealistic expectations thinking that any rifle that costs over $1500 should be sub moa for that price.
I don't see the letters AR anywhere in the name of this rifle. NEA-102... nope, not an AR or AR variant. They'll just have to rely on people calling it an AR enough to convince them to look at it again.
Don't worry, they'll find plenty of ways to screw us over though.
