I think this is essential a rebuild of the "orginal" AR10 whose linage makes it not an AR variant. Most 308 AR's are variants of the AR15.
so no, this will not make all 308 AR's NR.

It is not a custom rifle then. semi custom sure, but a truly custom rifle is built 100% in house.

There is no grasping, just facts

How many rifles can be really considered custom then? None. None can be considered custom using your definition.

Shilen? Nope they use McMillan stocks.
Stillers? Nope, they use Bartlein and Shilen barrels. Jewel triggers.

I could keep researching, please find one example of a custom rifle using your definition.

lots of European makers have a custom shop and everything is built in house.

Even large companies like HK or FN produce 100% in house for almost every firearm , they may outsource segments of their component manufacturing to other factories but it is not like that factory can produce those same parts to sell on the open market

I would love a NR modern rifle. Don't care who makes it.

Hoping to eventually purchase a Modern Varminter but that would be a few years in the future.

If NEA has a new design that is NR I would give it some consideration.



Am worried that if all AR-10 rifles get NR status the current regime in Ottawa would have to respond (to well orchestarted media outrage) and we could find all modern semi-autos moved Restricted or Prohibited status

It's actually pretty light. 7.6 pounds without a handguard, so figure 8.5-9 with one. The DPMS G2 Recon, which is pretty freaking light for an AR-10, was, IIRC, about 8.5 with a short handguard on it.

The GII Recon has a heavy barrel and the handguard is an archaic hunk of crud. A MI GII handguard as a replacement takes off half a pound, is 12" instead of 9" and is keymod with QD attachments. It brings the carbine to 8 pounds. The base GII in M4 configuration is 7.25 pounds.

This kind of stuff coming from a business irritates the hell out of me. While I somewhat agree with parts of their statement, who are they to decide what people spend their money on and how they dress lol.

I was pretty interested so I was doing some research on this rifle and came across this "rant" in the NEA Facebook page. Seems pretty lame to mock and poke fun at the people who buy their products. Bad business to alienate future customers.

All the operator gear and FDE etc that NEA ranted on isn't my scene, but I certainly could care less about anyone else that chooses to wear it.

Tell me what's the difference between the Mall Ninja everyone likes to make fun of and someone dressing up like an Operator??

Both are posers.

Thanks for that nea post was never a fan of there garbage. Insulting your potential customers and mocking how people dress is a great way to expand your business. Which social media did that get posted on?
 
I don't see a damn thing wrong with their post.

Are the statements true? Yes. Is it politically correct? No. Am I tired of hearing everyone needs to be politically correct and not have an opinion....yer damn rights I am. Being politically correct will eventually make firearms owners extinct.

Also do you honestly think that those "operator" types help us at all with anti's? Do you think that a guy in costco isn't going to be be judged by the general public as the face of firearms owners looking like a run-n-gun commando?

Keyboard commando's, mall ninja's, costco-operators all give firearm enthusiasts a bad rep. It should be discouraged if you want to be taken seriously. How would you feel if the firearm orgs showed up in full operator gear to present their concerns to the senate?
