NEA...30 guns coming soon!

So I pre ordered one and I am waiting patiently:dancingbanana:

Ok so truth be known I have no patience!

Looking forward to it?
 
Hah! I was going to bump this thread now that we are going into Thursday...but someone else did now so I don't feel guilty being a squeaky wheel lol
 
Next day or two. I was supposed to go yesterday but there was a blizzard here....about a foot of snow.

What? Where you guys are located? I figured the only thing weather related that would keep you indoors was if someone accidentally parked the snow plow up against your front door.
 
So I have been watching these posts a while, why all the hype and wait on a new product. There are Stags, close in price, Core 15's close in price and they are available for purchase. I am ready to "pull the trigger" on a purchase and NEA was one of the rifles I was looking at, but it seems nearly impossible to get one. Why is everyone jumping on the pre-order bandwagon when the product hasn't been market tested. Am I missing something? Or should I be getting my name on a list as soon as possible?

What do you mean it hasn't been market tested?

We have a few hundred of them out in half a dozen countries. Our markets are all over them. This also explains the demand. We can only make so much, if you're waiting for one to sit on a shelf it'll be a while before we get there. It's not just our Canadian dealers that are chomping for more.
 
Sorry, maybe market tested wasn't the correct term. I meant a long term proof of reliability in the field. I'm excited for another Canadian manufacturer to be in the market, I'm just surprised at the craze with so few people with actual hands on experience with the firearm. I think my actual point was that I would like to be able to hold one and look at the fit and finish before committing to one. I have been calling around to find a dealer that actually has availability. Every time I see a post that rifle has been deliver, GO! I see that they aren't meeting the back-orders, that was what raised my curiosity at what would create that kind of hype. The fact that there are a few hundred spread out in a couple of countries doesn't create hype, but something has, that is what I was trying to find out. Obviously NEA is doing something right, I just want to know if is marketing or manufacturing. There are other choices out there and if I'm going to blind order a rifle that I can't hold or look at, I wanted to know why so many other people are taking the leap. It's nice to see you have faith in your product, and I'm sure NEA has done extensive product testing prior to release, but so far the product has only been out for a couple of months. How it it will compare to the other offerings is still to be determined. I guess that was what I meant by market tested. I apologize if I sounded antagonistic. I don't want a safe full of AR's, just one reliable one.
