NEA Non-Restricted Rifle? "NEA25"

They would sell a boat load if it was around $2000.00 the Atrs guns are great I ordered one but if you don't need a precision rifle then the NEA would work or should work.
 
Gentlemen

LOL!! My My, aren’t we a party??

Ah well, if you put all the chest pounding and bravado aside, this is all about money, and an effort to part you from it. So when spending your hard earned money, especially in these economic times, there are a few things I like to keep in mind.

In my experience, the success of any product offering with complex moving parts will be in:

a) The success of blending quality with function, and making all those parts work together

b) The level of concrete and efficient support offered by the company selling the product

c) the longevity of the product, and the support offered two or more years down the line when the “shinny newness” of the product has worn off.

Now, there is not one complex process or product that has not had a different teething issues as it has come to market and started its life cycle. Some of those issues can be attributed to design, others can be attribute the quality of the parts or inputs used.

However, in my experience, almost always, how those issues are dealt with, and how efficiently they are brought to a close, is always a reflection of those whom are at the helm of the company. It is those individuals at the top that set the “corporate culture”, and staff will take their lead on how to address and solve issues.

A product offered, regardless of price tag, is only as good as the support offered.

Also keep in mind, price tag and support are not always synonymous.

I look forward to seeing the product offering from NEA and its constructive and insightful reviews.

I also look forward to the medium and long term reports of the ATRS offerings with regards to longevity, accuracy and function.

These are just my thoughts, and if you have something constructive to add, I look forward to reading them.

Respectfully yours

AbH
 
Thank you.

I've been hearing about this for years, before others were on the market.

NEA has had this in the works for a while. It took time because they went the route of tracing lineage back to the Stoner schematics and the NR AR10.

This is pre-ATRS and there are samples under scrutiny for the NR FRT.

Currently in Germany fulfilling contracts.

There is a saying. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I figured it would only be a matter of time until someone tried to reverse engineer what we have done. I would have preferred however for it not to be a lowest quality manufacturer.
It should make for some very interesting reading on the forums IF they actually do get into production.

What you did wasn't really that original. It is mostly AR308 parts. I give full credit for getting the non restricted status with the work arounds but if you're going to claim the imitation cliche, then maybe you should be paying a bit more respect to Eugene Stoner as you imitated his work with a few work arounds for Canadian laws.

NEA 25 vs Modern shotgun. Will be an interesting choice. Competition is always good for the consumer. The most important thing with an AR308 style rifle.... does it shoot? Will be interesting to see.
 
I know this new rifle would likely be sold at an affordable price, I would buy one as soon as they are available. I have never had a problems with the NEA rifles I have owned.
 
Assuming it functions well, I think it would have to be well under $2000 to set the internet abalze. You can already get an XCR or similar in the $3300 range, and there is the ATR rifles for those that want top end and want to pay for it.

Be interesting to see where this goes, anyway.

We have never been put in a position of having to fire sale any of our products.
I am really hopeful that they have as profitable business as you claim they do. They will very likely need to produce financials during discoveries in the not to distant future.

Have a patent on the Modern hunter design not just a trademarked name? Or is it too similar to a product already out there where the patent has expired? If not patented then heck I'm surprised a Norinco product hasn't already come along. Never mind NEA.
 
I didn't realize the modern hunter went back that far.

I am just tired of the same 2 CGN members constantly trying to thwart our efforts for their own agenda. If you go back to 2010 posts where we first started with the Modern Hunter saga, you will find constant harassment regarding FRT issuance and these 2 CGN members doing all they could to put doubt into the minds of purchasers. Again with NO knowledge what so ever of what they were speaking of.
There are many threads on all of the gun forums as to the quality and number of issues NEA has or had as well as how NEA markets their products. The NEA shillgate threads come to mind and makes me wonder about the transparency of some of the posters in this thread already.

It is true I have no love for NEA given what they are accused of being involved in here, in late 2009 and early 2010. Being as the case is still before the courts I cannot say more.

I am also very cognizant of the fact that not all can afford our rifles and would have no problem with a Canadian company that took the initiative to design and produce rifles as we have. It is NOT a competition thing, we fully support and endorse companies like Cadex, who ARE truly Canadian competition, but also competition that is wholly above board in business and produces a high quality product.

Actually I was on board when you first started that project. Even made some suggestings including the dust cover and shell deflector which you originally weren't going to include. I was very into that project and on board.

Yes NEA shillgate was another that I spoke out against and also received infractions for. I wasn't impressed with the stuff going on at the time. Much the same as the tactics you employed and are still using with your posts against myself and others. Anything that has been stated has been made with proof. The FRT issue, we had the FRT table information in front of us when asking about that. It wasn't a matter of alterior motives etc or "personal" issues as you have tried to make it seem. Simply put I can't stand used car salesman tactics. Either by yourself or NEA. When someone gives me a piece of crud with icing sugar on it and claims it's a cupcake I get a bit upset. Especially when I've already read the ingredients list.

Oh and by the way. I bought a KAC SR25 ECR 20" instead of the ATR product. It wasn't a difficult choice. The NEA one however may or may not end up in my collection. I'm looking forward to the details. You should be happy too. Competition is good for everyone right?

Here is ATRS take on it.

Patents are expensive and easily thwarted and nearly impossible to enforce in a foreign country. I already investigated this. The added cost would have to passed along to the consumer. I doubt any of the real big players would be interested in making a low profit, labor intensive, small market item like this which further makes the costs of a patent less appealing.

Epoxy7 why did you call the Atrs modern hunter a modern shotgun do you have one of these guns and does yours shoot like a shotgun or was it a smart ass remark?
