PMAGs, XCR mags, any Stoner pattern/SR-25 mags
Isn't it?
Because I disagree. If I were to scale down an AR102 I would attempt to use as many of the same parts as possible or simply scale them down. That isn't what happened. The basic principle remained but nothing, not even a gas tube is interchangeable. The trigger mech is completely different, cocking handle, handguard, front sight, pistol grip, stock etc....
ETA: when they made the SR25 they obviously had to scale up the receiver, bolt carrier , barrel and such but they still attempted to use as many "scaled down" parts as possible. I've heard as high as 60% of the parts are interchangeable.

I'll wait for the Gen 2
Definitely Gen 2 or 3 for me. Need to see several accuracy reviews, ammo sensitivity reports and confirm which mags are fully compatible. I beta test enough at the day job.
Also needs to be on the shelf at a moment when I am weak...
Lol it didn't happen at the last min... NEA opened their mouth that it would be 1500 before dealers got involved then it was changes needed to be made and it's now 1700... I get there is no alternative cheaper but at $1920 after tax the number of guys dumping 2k with no optic no mags and no accessories is impressive. I am Wally am waiting to see if there is an EE affect after these play out of these going up for full pop in a month or alternatively big price cuts on some guns because of credit card shock.
No it didn't. I've always said it would be around there. NEA thought around $1500 at the beginning of the project but some changes were made and we ended up at $1699. I've been telling this to anyone that asked for ages.

Not SFRC's fault. Symptomatic of Canadian market. Smaller market. In the US the vendors have to undercut MSRP just to survive.
Ok it's time to stop with this anti NEA stuff as it's getting old. I hate that Shyte Norinco but understand it's not doing me any good continually slamming them like some do with our Canadian company.
Kudos for pulling something this worthwhile off.

I love CGN. It has allowed me to learn a huge amount of information about firearms. There are so many fabulous people sharing their knowledge with know nothings like me. I salute all of you, and should do so more often
Thank you!!!And then there are the dealers. Sometimes I wonder if purgatory would be a better description for those that supply our hopes and dreams. In my humble opinion, trying to be a dealer in Canada is akin to being a masochist : ) And I say that in the true spirit it is implied i.e. I cannot think of a more difficult business to operate, much less make a living in
Unfortunately, some CGN'ers do on occasion reveal that side of human nature that expects possibilities as certainties, particularly when that certainty is to their advantage
It begs the question as to whether Ryan, or any other dealer for that matter would be so publicly excoriated if the price was lower than originally, many many many moons ago, projected?
The "funny" thing is, I still have a hard time believing this whole story to be true!
I can actually buy a non-restricted 102 for 1700 bucks? Are you f'ing serious? LOL!!!
My whole impression of NEA (for what it's worth my impression is they have had troubles but totally stand behind their product) is immeasurably higher than before. Well done NEA! Well done too Ryan. Not easy living in the middle
To those that risk, enjoy the rewards that come.d
