NEA Swiss Arms Top rail

[North Eastern Arms]

Please excuse the finish, it literally came out of the tumbler last night and i tried a home blue job as i left early this morning for IWA.

the rail is pre heat treated 4140 and will be finished in manganese phosphate.
The special feature on this rail is that you can mount an aimpoint micro directly to the rail and achieve a co witness with the factory irons.

Shipping to dealers early next week.

Looks nice, and low.

Looks good I will have to order one this week. Keep up the great work. The products coming from NEA are great.

You guys at NEA are as cool as it gets.

I would like to install one of these on my Classic Green. What dealers will they be available at?

Some minor advice, I would incorporate some lightening cuts on the underside and mill out the middle parts of the picatinny ribs like on Nightforce rails. Not for cosmetics, but for keeping it as light as possible yet still rigid. The rifle is already pretty heavy.

Here's an example of one I made for my AR180B.

I hate the top center notch on Pic rails, but I second the lightening cuts. We can't see what the bottom looks like so it might have them.

I think you might have to use smaller screws.

It does have relief cuts underneath

What happened to the rail that was similar to Troy Battle Rail? I seem to remember there was a discussion about that, and NEA said that there would be one ready soon.

I may have to get one of these. I have a Kyle rail now but it's slightly out of spec so fixed base scopes like the Elcan don't sit quite straight on it..

It's in the works as well, for the rifle, carbine and cqb

Cool

So were these shipped out to dealers yet??

So what is the advantage to this over the B&T rail? It will probably be heavier. I get the Aimpoint mounting...kinda neat but useless if you don't run a micro. Looks to be about the same height as the other rails on the market.

I think it'll be cheaper somewhat?

LMFAO -that's awesome, somewhere there's a Lieberal losing sleep over you guys

 

[F22_RaptoR]

Okay THAT is a cool idea

is it more of a lower 3rd co-witness, or an absolute?

 

[Bcviking]

when will the dealers have it? also i plan to run a millet DMS scope on a AD recon mount, will your lower rail allow the scope clear the rear drum sight? i know the B&T gives enough clearance?

 

[North Eastern Arms]

There will be enough clearance for scope. MSRP will be $139
