NEA Problems

It’s also their 870 barrels.

They come bead - less, for some reason. But mine would not even chamber a round, and I had to sand the top down to even get it to install into a receiver.

Too many reported problems for me. Every maker is going to produce lemons but how so many NEA faults get through QC is beyond me.

I have an NEA 7.5" upper and the gas block walked out on me and when I looked into it the factory dimensions were off from the NEA gas block.
It is an easy and cheap fix to buy a new one and install although I can understand why a buyer would be upset if they had to do this with a new gun.
I bought used and feel that anytime you buy used you have to leave some room for repairs/issues.

I have an NEA15 PDW 7.5" Barrel with CCS stock which I purchased a few years ago.

After the first year of use (approximately 250 rounds) I took it out to the range and the action would not cycle, I had to cycle it by hand by racking the charging handle round by round. Took it home and cleaned it, only to discover the gas block had come loose as the setscrew had backed off.

Since that time it has worked without issue until this past weekend, where upon the first round with the stock fully extended, the recoil caused the stock to collapse completely. This pinched my neck skin between the buffer tube and butt of the stock and hung from there for about 15 seconds as I fumbled with my non dominant hand to depress the stock release button. I have looked the stock over and could only deduce the push button which provides the positive lock of the stock by fitting into its notches, has worn enough to allow the stock to collapse with insubstantial force. This can be seen in a video I took and posted.

I love this rifle, but these two issues are putting that love into question. Hopefully it's a simple fix and won't reoccur.

I'm confused with your video. I'm seeing that the stock isn't fully extended to begin with (as the screw on the side is a good indicator as to how much travel you have left to get it into the locked position). I have a CCS stock too and can push retract the stock the same as you as indicated in this vid. Is your CCS unit unable to actually lock into the fully extended state?
