They had one with 8000-9000 rounds without a cleaning or malfunction.

Impossible. It's made of 6061. Everyone knows that isn't mil-spec. They must have added a zero just to make it sound better.











And I'll probably getting one as well. An upper for sure anyway.

I plan on taking my rifle (fixed for saying something stupid) down to Camden TN next year for seven days of training from Tactical response going from Fighting rifle, right onto Direct action civilian contractor. From what I understand the class puts rifles in its place, I have a feeling the NEA AR will make it through no problem, and 99% of the malfunctions will be user error.

Hope you survive that course.
 
The Knights SR-15 wouldn't be considered mil-spec due to many parts that don't fit into the TDP.

Does that mean it's inferior to a so-called 'mil-spec' gun?


Like I posted previously, I shot the 14.5" gun yesterday at Kingston. It was really nice. And I'll probably be getting one in the near future.

Don't particularly care either way but mil spec's proof testing is publicly available. Specification MIL-C-71186 (AR) (the latest one I have is 1994). Section 4.7.4 specifies the high pressure proof testing procedure. Long story short: they fire an overpresssured cartridge (M197, 70,000 PSI max vs standard M193 which is 52,000 PSI max) in the rifle and then test to see if there's cracks and the like.


If they were building strictly to milspec they could go a lot cheaper then. MIL-C-71186 (AR) section 3.4.7 only calls for a minimum lifetime of 6000 rounds with fewer then specified malfunctions. Anything after that's just gravy. Milspec's actually pretty sad when you look at it.

MIL-C-71186 is only the "performance spec". The TDP itself is the "drawing spec" of the weapon itself.

It is like building a car - your car must be built in certain way, of certain construction and materials , and on top of that it needs to be able to meet certain performance criteria. And then the actual testing itself has it own spec and standard. That's why there are millions of milspecs outhere -

I can give you a drawing of a chair - you can follow it to the bone but there are always ways you can screw it up. ( it is how contractors make money by reading the spec carefully and skimping on ambiguity or undefined parts). So you put a performance spec on top to ensure some min. performance. However, it does not mean you are free to build any chair that could meet the performance spec.

To call something "milspec" - it needs to meet the performance spec, the construction spec, all the specs that are related to the testing, packaging, delivery....etc etc etc. Some of them are meaningless unless you are an organization as big (and as slow) as the military.

Milspec is like the ANSI for "military contracts only(or mostly)".
 
If I don't get one of the 6061 receivers with a lifetime warranty; will my #### fall off? :eek:

Hey, very few of us are deploying and if we are heading to a 2 way range, it ain't gonna be with this NEA item. For mirror kommandos on weekends like me, this might just fit the bill for CQB fun! :p

Get out and shoot with your PRA's !!

Cheers,
Barney

If I am looking to purchase an AR, I don't even look to see if it is 'mil-spec' or not. I don't care, because it simply doesn't mean anything to consumer like you or I. I care if the gun comes with the components I want, fit and finish, and most important, reliability.
