NEA/BCL 102 FAQ Thread

Quick question for you guys:

How well will the gun handle heavier bullets like 200 gr and up?

Thinking of getting one to shoot heavier hunting load.

im sure you could work up a load with the 200gr projectiles, might need an adjustable gas block though to get a proper functioning gun.

factory ammo might not have the best harmonics with this rifle as is.
 
Bolt yes,carrier no.

One of the owners on the Facebook group did just that

actually, gen 2 dpms bolt carrier will work like a charm, no issues. So much misinformation on these threads... It's all DPMS guys. Fun fact. the original AR102 will run a DPMS upper on it. Think about that one for a bit.

Is it safe to shoot your dpms upper on your 102 lower? HELL NO, so don't even think about it. Will it work, yes, but its not safe, wobbles like crazy, they used differnt retaining pins on the 102, the dimentions are all out of whack on the receiver. makes the gun very unsafe.
 
Nevermind an owner of this firearm has explained most everything to me.

Edit: It seems that people purchasing this have intentions of making quite a few modifications to enhance the rifle. When adding the cost up is there a better alternative that is already unrestricted in terms of quality and reliability which this Gen1 seems to have some issues in that department. The cerakoting, it being picky with the ammo, failure to eject, Then most wanting to change to a DPMS spec AR10 match gradev barrel of shorter length. Why isn't most of this incorporated in the newer gen designs?

Thoughts opinions anyone?

Do we know the type of bolt catch style required?

I have notice some rubbing on the exterior of the upper receiver not allowing the OEM part to fully seat.

Could anybody measure the overall length, with stock fully collapsed and fully extended?

I'm wondering if it will fit a Plano case (inside length 42"), and if it does would it still fit with a Magpul PRS Gen 3 stock.
 
Somehow I have forgotten everything... What is the barrel extension type again? It was DPMS but there seems to be different generations?


I want to get a pencil profile barrel on this baby to lighen her up a bit.
