NEA AR15 Stripped Lowers, $64.95! WOW!

Is it not Mil Spec or something or does it fit too tight? That's a bit of a bummer, I have an extra Aero upper and was just about to order this to use with it.

My AA upper won't fit my NEA lower. Something is very tight around the take down lug. I can't even close it. I can't risk one of these for that reason, deal or no.
 
sadly it wont fit with aero precision upper

Yes it is a bit of a snug fit. Both my Vltor & Aero Uppers wouldn't fit the NEA. But a little light emery cloth work on the inside of the receiver around the take-down pin areas fixed it.
 
Great deal if you are in the market for both; I am not, so hence my request. Why don't you buy a matched set and sell me the upper since it such a good deal to you.

Because I bought the stripper lower and slab side upper when they were last on sale. The Z lowers that were on sale and still this is a better price.

A guy CAN have too many ARs. And I have other toys to buy before I get another AR.
 
Killer deal....this'll be my 3 rd NEA....I think I've got a problem...

Fit and finish have been great on my previous 2 rifles.
they were tight fits though.....had to do some buffering with emery cloth on my Aero precision ceracoked upper to make it fit....but I think that was down to the thickness of the coating on the upper....my DPMS fit fine.

incorrect.
NEA upper fits on Areo lower and Areo upper fits on NEA lower.
what doesnt technically fit is the NEA rail on the areo lower...yes i mean lower. the NEA rails are a little too thick, i filed mine down in one spot about 1mm and now it fits fine.
 
Can anyone comment on the colour of the lower? Will it only match an NEA upper?

the color is a very dark and very flat gray, with a "dry" look like a parkerizing. oiling it will make it look less "dry", but you'll still have a hard time matching it with something other than NEA.
For example, I have a Vltor MUR upper, which is a very flat black, and the NEA is even "flatter".
