I am certain that NEA or the dealer with fix this issue but my only concern at this point is this rifle is a bomb with a crappy fuse, you will never know when its going to blow up in your face. Its about a year old and less than 1k through it
Double or tripling can be cause by a piece of primer stuck in the bolt, or trigger. Norc ammo is widely known for pierced primers. Muzzle breaks can be destroyed by under sized projectiles wobbling in the expansion chamber, Norc ammo has been known to have undersized projectiles. Very hard to pinpoint a single cause.

and this is exactly why i started this thread. if you have seen the other thread about their x39 you'll save that money for a better rifle. i think its called NEA x39 guiNEA rifle. the bolt also broke on his rifle.

Like I stated in another thread. NEAs bolts have issues for a while
I can't figure out how that happened to the flash hider. That's the weirdest thing I've seen in a while.
When it was working did you notice it being quite harsh when cycling and probably your trigger finger getting beat up a little? Sounds like it's overgassed and beating the hell out of itself. I hope NEA does a little troubleshooting and adjusts the gas port size accordingly on all future 7.5 inch barrels.
Just because I hate Norinco ammo I'm going to blame the ammo
I'm certain you will get a new rifle after that much trouble with this one. NEA is really good about standing behind their product whenever people have issues. Only problem is that you are without your rifle for a month or two while you get it sorted out. Maybe you'll get lucky and the retailer will just give you a new one and then deal with the return themselves.
Personally after owning almost every length available I wouldn't go shorter than 10 inch on an AR, 12 inch is my favorite, 3 of my AR's are running 12 inch

I checked most of the brass and non had been pierced. i checked the trigger group and nothing was stuck.the muzzle device had no copper fouling anywhere on it which would indicate that a bullet had hit it. from what i can see is the blast from 5.56 ammo broke the joints in between the lugs. looks like the metal just couldn't take the blast anymore and just separated.
i think the over pressure issue is the main cause of the failure to feed or most times double feed. I checked all of my mags and all were there same.I can't figure out how that happened to the flash hider. That's the weirdest thing I've seen in a while.

The Bolt and flash suppressor look like it could be heat treating issues exposed by the over-gassing mentioned previously. Any flaw caused by over/under heat-treating is a weak point just waiting to fail. Seen this on a few Para-Ord barrels when we tested them with proof loads in house.
So your blaming NEA for your incorrectly set or installed trigger burst firing? No doubt the flash hider was an issue but as usually there's more to the story. Also that crap norc ammo could be hard on your gun as it's known more than NEA for being paper weight grade ammo. In reality if NEA wanted to they could simply void your warrantee based on that alone but I would suspect they will stand by there product as they always do.
I for one am shocked that an NEA rifle is having issues. To the OP. get a full refund on this rifle and buy something like a DD. it is a shame that NEA continues to put out a substandard product without regard for the safety of its customers.
So the trigger caused the bolt to break and the flash hider to turn into a banana peel?. The reason the rifle is doubling is likely because the carrier is impacting the disconnector. The carrier velocity is too high which is a gas issue or a recoil spring issue, both of these are NEA parts.
well just like i told other member the factory trigger had this issue to begin with. i just swapped it out with the trigger i had in hand. didnt have any issues with it until today. also Ive shot many norc ammo through my other ARs but never encountered a problem with them. Rifles are made to be shot to #### and work fine not pampered. if this AR cant handle norc ammo but my other ARs can than its the rifle not the ammo.
at this time the dealer has been very helpful and is trying to fix my issue
Sigh. I am always surprised when I read posts like this. You are so quick to jump to conclusions blaming the operator. If you actually read the OP's posts instead of being a foaming at the mouth fanboy, you would have seen that the whole reason he installed a new trigger is because the rifle with factory trigger parts was burst firing. Now maybe the OP installed it incorrectly, but based on your bs attitude, we must conclude that NEA installed the trigger incorrectly from the get go. I actually suspect that the trigger isnt the problem, its much more.
Could someone post NEA's terms of conditions please. Instead of skippy speculating wildly, let's see what reality is. I would be greatly surprised that NEA specifically prohibited Norinco ammo. If they prohibited any ammo, it would most likely be hand loads, which is what most manufacturers state in their terms.
Actually Skippy, why dont YOU post the terms since you seem to know exactly what the deal is and you must have them right in front of you to fire off bold statements.
Op, I hope you get things fixed. Me, personally, I might develop a flinch every time I shot that rifle expecting the worst considering all the problems you have had. LOL.
