Before:
After:
NEA lower and ACS stock
Complete with wussy tape to save my paint.
I still have a complete Green lower so I can switch back and forth.
So far I'm liking the way it handles, (more like an AR, albeit a very heavy one!) but I haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet.
Upper and lower are tight as a drum, no rattling, which was one concern I had going in.
There are a few things that could be better with the NEA lower which have already been well documented elsewhere, and now I see for myself -
ie the restricted opening angle when just the rear pin is removed, some tool marks and sharp edges here and there,
and the slot for the bolt catch and spring is a wee bit tight, (although it seems to function fine).
If I didn't already have a complete extra Swiss lower, I might not have spent the dough to do this.
But I found the NEA lower used on the EE, [thanks Chris!] and swapped my extra parts in, so it wasn't too bad.
Overall I'm satisfied with it. It works, and allows the use of LAR mags.
Further refinements are planned, according to NEA, but it could be a long wait.
