NEA's are currently being used by some pretty high profile professionals.
Frankly I don't care about NEA, one way or the other, but who?

I still cant get over that people still buy this crap and stand by this company.
NEA has had more than their fair share of blunders and blemishes, you'll get no argument from me on that. I just don't get why you seem to have made it your mission to save the world from NEA. I at least have an excuse to keep taking your bait, I have several of their rifles and really like them. What's your reason?
My reason is that I don't like to see people get ripped off. every single thing I have said is true, most of the threads got deleted when NEA was still a sponsor. The carrier with the hole in the wrong place was here on CGN the hole for the firing pin retainer was out of position to such an extent that the cotter pin wouldn't go in.
Well then I guess I give up. If you're going to make up things and then claim that evidence of those things was deleted when NEA was a site sponsor (which was 4 years ago, 2012 iirc) then it is pointless to discuss things further. It's a shame that you've taken up axe grinding at the expense of integrity.
Exactly, NEA threads are that.mikethebike; said:...but hey they sure make things entertaining!...
All new products can have issues but if they stand by it while they work out the kinks, I'm happy to support a Canadian manufacturer.
Everyone talking about how great their CS is. I rather have a quality product where I dont have to use their CS. While waiting for their CS to fix your broken rifle, you are now out of a working rifle.
Except it's a product that has been produced for near to 60 years.......
There shouldnt really be any 'kinks'
I only support quality products, I don't care about if Canadian or not. If its quality it gets my money.
We need to stop enabling companies that dont take quality seriously. Having a rifle explode and taking a charging handle to the face is not a laughing matter.
If my car exploded due to quality issues, it sure as hell wouldnt be a laughing or excusable matter due to them going on their learning curve? Like are you facking kidding me?
I can only speak from my own experience with a single NEA rifle that has so far functioned without issue. I know 3 other people with NEA rifles who also have no complaints. From what I understand, the failures resulted from an outsourced bolt that they've since corrected when they began making them in house from S7 steel which is stronger than the 4140 that the older ones were made of (this info comes from one of their design engineers I spoke with about my bolt that they replaced free of charge even though I hadnt had an issue with mine...yet)
If the faulty bolt issue has been addressed and they're making it right at their cost, are there other issues with their rifles that have resulted in the negative opinions of their company? I only ask because I'm new to the CGN forums, the only issue I had heard of was the bolt, and I know there are people much more knowledgable about their product than I would be based on my limited experience with one of their rifles. I picked mine up in 2013 as a 2nd AR and a cheap base for an SBR build that hasn't seen much use until this year.

Do a search with nea as the key word and three years as the time line, prepare to be amazed. The issues include but are not limited to
Broken bolts
broken cam pins
over sized holes
doubling when firing
loose barrel extensions
loose gas keys
unstaked gas keys
gas keys with angle grinder damage
rails out of square
burrs
rifles shipped with no BCG
cartooned flash hiders
ejection port covers that don't fit
over sized gas ports
barrel extension failures
charging handles that wouldn't clear back plates
uppers that are out of spec
lowers that are out of spec
bolt ford assists that fall off
Those are just the ones I remember
