NEA Swiss Arms Lower (First Impressions) ***UPDATE***

[8 ball]

NEA, are there any plans for building one that will take an ARE grip in the future? If it won't take a MIAD, it's really not an AR type lower!

I've got a Classic Green with an NEA lower inbound to me right now. I can't wait.

Nice friggin photo!

The wait to get mine is killing me. This photo doesn't make it any easier you bastard!

A Power Custom AR-15 Extended Oversized Magazine Release might be the answer for this receiver.

Great thread. Wish I could afford a Swiss Arms rifle and NEA lower today.

Are they available in the correct Classic Green and Black Special colours yet? And have the selector markings been improved?

The selector markings are the least of your worries. Personally, I'd be more concerned with:

1. Bolt catch fitting

2. Front end redesign so the upper can pivot open properly

3. Slop in the rear take down pin

4. Magazine catch re-design

5. Sharp mag well edges

After all of that is fixed, then I would worry about the machining marks and cosmetic stampings.

Do you have a picture of this new reworked lower?

What is the butt stock and scope mount in this picture? Cheek weld seems ok with this setup.

Also who painted the lower? I don't care for the look of the black lower with the green upper. I bought the lower today from target sports and I'd like to have it painted in the near future.

Thanks!

Looks like the ergo m93 stock, the early prototype for the ubr, scope mount looks like the vortex ADR mount

Both can be had at one shot

Original Magpul M93 when Ergo made them.

Any reason why some can pivot fully opens while some cannot?
Was it designed according to Swiss Arms' lower/ upper blue print or based on an actual Swiss Arms upper?
Any changes so far from 1st batch to the latest batch?

This question must be too hard to answer.

Dude... That was just 24hrs!

Have you ever heard about emails?

True but of course this is gun forum where many can learn from one man's question.

I would love to hear more info and images on version 2.

I know this is an old pic but what is the quad railed handguard you're using on the right? Is that a B&T? I'm pretty sure the left is the NEA handguard, which is pretty sweet in itself. Nice rifles .

 

[yukoncoyote]

Nope, both handguards there are B & T by the looks of it.
