120-150 rounds per minute for the F/A Norinco? That's actually really terrible. A proper M16 variant should be able to do 700-950 rounds per minute depending on ammo and buffer weight.
NORINCO SUXX!
Its says Battle firing rate: 120-150rounds per minute that means practical firing rate including reloading time.
It reads theoretical firing rate: 700-950 rounds per minute does not include reloading time.
easysauce:
since now you have both please do a side by side comparing thro may be 1000 rds?
Let's do a fun raising for the ammo. Just kidding.
I think most of us would like to see the results.

Make sure you bring an extra BCG, trigger, buffer tube... ah, heck - just bring another lower so you'll be good-to-go.
Just kidding - have fun at the range!You can love your NEA... just don't "love" your NEA.
Looking forward to the results of your range session as well.
Cool, let me know how it goes at the range. I had to fiddle around with my NEA15 CQB a bit before it worked right, but right now it works just fine. Had 200 rounds put throught her without a single FTF, FTE or double tap. Its smooth sailing from now on!

There are lots of "higher end" ARs out there.
The fact that its tough to get an NEA rifle cause they're always sold out kinda says something a little different.
Most people around here always want the best that is cheapest.

Everyone want's everything for nothing. It's just the way people are. I've tried working in sales as a second job a couple times. Never worked out, I always got in arguments with customers trying to pay 6$ for a box of ammo that was costing the store 6.50$ to buy...
Big special on a shotgun,been sitting on the shelf for a while (like 2 years) because the wood is worn a little, like rub marks, 400$ instead of 800$ Brand new but box is gone with the wind as is everything that was in it. Guy buys it and comes back a couple days later asking why he didnt get any chokes with it. He saw on the interwebz it's supposed to come with 3 chokes. Hum, didn't I sell it to you like 50% off? HELLO!
Turns out he was a frequent customer...guess who won the argument... I gave up. Anyone working in sales or just general customer service, my hat is off to you, you have the hardest job in the world.

Not Really they are not producing that many AR's period. If the amount of problems they have continue on this path they will fall into a PR nightmare like companies like Olympic Arms have.
From the sources I have they were laughed at when they went to Germany a few months back, at least that was the word.. Every person I know that buy's cheap for quick returns always regrets it in the long run. Even if NEA added say $250 Value/cost on the price of there base model I think that would make all the difference. So make it a $1250 price tag and have the rifle leave the factory of actual quality and not cutting corners.
I think this company actually can do well, I just think as oppose to offering a rifle that will compete with Norinco is not the best path. But hey as long as guys continue to buy there rifles then it doesn't matter. At least as know one seems to care about having to return the rifle 2 or 3 times before it comes working the way it should out of the box.

Sounds like the early ones are having problems. And the later ones are getting better.
Just posted in another thread that new products need time to get the bugs worked out.
I bought a second production year of a Duramax diesel. Bugs. But GM looked after me to the point where my next one will be a Duramax.

I'm running an NEA with a serial > 30, 800+ rounds no problems. I did deal with customer service in the first week. Parts were sent out and I was good to go within 4 days.
That is the first I have heard of that...my understanding is that they came away from Germany with orders for 5000 rifles.Not Really they are not producing that many AR's period.

Who was doing the laughing, and why?
Can't speculate who, but the reason could be the support of the German HK MR-series AR platform...
