NEA Barrels

[Yulisius]

Are the NEA barrels chrome lined? Do you have further info on NEA's proprietary ARC process?

Not chrome lined. The arc process doesn't require it. The arc process is a trade secret for NEA.

The barrels run very nicely though.

You have not quenched my curiosity... darn it!

Sorry. Buy a barrel, you'll be happy with it.

Avoid the bolts.

Does NEA make a 16" barrel? I need one I can take with me into the USA and don't want to use a 14.5" with pinned/welded flash hider.

10.5 carbine length
12.5 carbine length

But no 16.

I'll second that. However, the customer service at NEA to rectify any problem with one of their firearms is pretty darn good. They told me that my firing pin was too "sharp". It was piercing primers. They replaced the whole bcg free of charge and sent the rifle back to me. Now all is well.

As for the barrels... Mine is a factory blemish 10.5" and it's a fine barrel.

Ryan, not long ago, you were saying that the 10 inches 300BLK barrels should arrive soon, do you have any news on that?

If the project has been abandonned by NEA, will you receive some 12.5 300BLK barrels in a near future?
