For those across the nation who were too far away to make it to Target Sports Canada for NEA day - and to taunt those who are too lazy to make it out to these great charity events - Here's a bit of what we got to play with on NEA day.
Joe the Law Enforcement & Military Sales Representative for Target Sports Canada was in the house along with some current and ex military and LE personnel who were interested in the NEA rifle.
Not only does NEA make components and rifles but they also make suppressors! I got to shoot a 10" LMT with all the Magpul goodies and the NEA Suppressor! This was a total blast. Other people got to give it a try too. Also later in the day some normal capacity magazines made it onto the line.
It was great to give these products a try and it was 100% legal! Super fun times for sure. Thanks Joe!!!
When Target Sports or The Shooting Edge has a charity event - it's a good idea to show up. This was the most black rifle fun I've ever had. Pics of the guns are below.
For a better look at the gun Andy of CRR will be posting a you tube video when he's done editing it. Also look forward to a Canadian Reload Radio Network podcast with interviews from NEA and Vortex Optics.
This thread is worthless without...
Vortex red dot and 3X magnifier.
More Vortex goodness for long range situations.
Another angle. The glass on these is made in Japan and super clear. Clearest optic I've ever used.
Side profile of the scope.
Yes. That's a real can and I got to try it. Awesome!
Mmm... LMT, Magpul, Eotech, NEA Suppressor.... Nice!
For the curious how did the NEA AR-15 run? There was one problem due to a bad magazine. We tossed that mag aside.
After that for the whole day not a single malfunction! It feels tight, solid, quad rail is very comfortable to grip, accurate, overall bad ass. You can buy an AR for more money but you can't get better value. My impression of the general feel of the gun? It's not like an LMT or S&W or any other AR. I'd say it feels most similar to an H&K MR223 - good company in terms of similar feel and handling traits. I'm sure we'll have plenty of review posted by CGN'ers real soon.
For those of you who missed NEA day and want to give the guns a try. NEA has provided the guns to Target Sports as range guns so you can come by and shoot them. As usual CALL BEFORE YOU COME TO SHOOT to make sure the NEA's are good to go and that there is enough frangible .223 for you to use.
Not only was the admission cost $10.00 donated to Wounded Warriors but J.R. Cox decided to donate all of the money from the ammo purchased to the charity as well - so 100% of the money went to a great cause.
