NEA carbines milspec or commercial?

The red tape can easily raise the costs.. For example, the Mk II G that costs $200 here can be bought in Chile for $600.

Yes, to my knowledge NEA don't make the extra on SA and NZ rifles; it's eaten up in importation costs and covers the costs incurred by the dealers.

Then why is the NEA rifle always seem to be available for purchase in other market, but not in Canada without waiting. Last I heard it was made in Canada.

To clarify all you drama queens, I have an NEA incomming and was just wondering which buttstock to purchase for her.

I've seen enough bad and good about the company, I've given them some time to iron out the kinks. They are still best value for a domestic production AR for what you get in the whole package. Could care less if someone who's never owned one loves to spread hatred about them on the internet consistently. Meh. It's kind of like hating glocks because they have documented more than one case of exploding. Again, meh.

you will be more than happy. ive had mine for a year and have not had any issues. i cant count the BCG being un-staked as an issue because it was rectified before it was even in my hands. mines a pretty early one as well with a S/N being in the mid 300's.

P.S. i wonder if any of you guys would actually walk up and start commenting on someones new purchase to their face? the ones that would probably are in the "i eat my feelings club" which is a sub-branch of the "forever alone association"

How readily available are they in other markets? What is the standard wait for one in South Africa?

Let's get this back on track or I will have to lock another NEA thread. If you don't know if the receiver extension is MILSPEC diameter or commercial, then keep your feelings to yourself, please.

My nea is milspec. It is a 2012 recent build.
One shot has the best deals on magpul stocks that I've found.

Enjoy your rifle, they are great.

Well, since there is #####ing on both sides of this argument, I will wade in as well.

Please note that this is the very first time I am making a comment on the company.

I pm'd them when they were still on this board, telling them I was very interested in their product, due to the extremely great pricing, but wanted to know how they were handling and rectifying their QA issues.

Not a peep out of them. In my books that was enough for me to not deal with them.
