I suggest you pick the cheapest postal method, typically $15US for international postage per $100. Some parts are restricted eg an AR15 upper even if its less than $100US so there will be a $250US fee.

@mawzer308 do those NEA barrels come threaded? if so whats the thread?
I have an AR question. I fitted an adjustable gas block to my bang stick. I wound it down to the most restrictive setting, it still cycled with the suppressor on so job done.
Post that I have had a few misfeeds. Typically what happens is that the bolt hasn't slit all the way foward (hasn't closed properly). Occasionally this also happens when I try and close the bolt on a new mag as well. How clean and how lubed the action is has an effect on this as well.
My question is whats causing this. Have I restricted the gas flow too much and it's short stroking or is the buffer spring not springy enough to send the bolt foward and chamber the round?
My first suspsicion is that it's the adjustable gas block because thats the last thing I changed. However this happening on a new mag when I manually close the bolt makes me think the buffer spring isn't springy enough.
Hoping for some useful advice on what the likely cause is from the more experianced AR fans on here.
Does it lock the bolt back when the mag is empty?
If so, then its getting enough gas, if not then it needs more.
Is the buffer spring got a bit of grease or oil on it, not to much but not as dry as a nun's nasty...
And what type of mag, a lot of the 5 round mag's are problematic in the way their springs are coiled and apply to much pressure on the cartridges, and that then causes similar issues you are facing...
A 10 round mag, with something limiting follower travel to 7 rnds is best for A-cat...
Just food for thought.
Great info so far thanks....gen 2 7 shot spear mags - good bad or ugly? 3x plus stock deal is hard to pass up. Settled on locally sourced aero upper n lower if that helps
Yes the NEA come threaded, 1/2 28 tpi
Had a shot a week ago with the new P7 on my SR556, glass is nice and clear reticule is even clearer. No issue with canted reticule that I got on the Vortex, just fitted it, torqued it up and it was perfectly set on the rail and was aligned with the target.
The eye relief acquired a focused reticule with fast target acquisition . This model is way better than the HD7, is just more versatile. For $799 from NZAR15.COM it was well worth the extra $100, it would compete with the Aimpoint models at the same price.
The red dot in the Aimpoint was too bright for me on the lowest setting, the P7's dot is really clear, the auto light sensor is really helpful so you don't have to fiddle with the brightness.
I will get some images up ASAP
Yes bolt locks back on empty mag. The mags are one nylon 7 round of unknown origan and three of the latest generation spear 7 shot mags. Problaem seems to happen more on first shot than last shot which supports your theory.Quote:

Try put an enhance magpul follower in them if they can fit, not sure if you can with the spear mags ones.
Any idea where I get one from? How will that change the spring pressure in the mag?Quote:

My AR gets slower as it gets dirty and starts to get more suseptable to this issue after a few hundred rounds, a quick lube of the bcg and its fine again.
With the plastic spear mag I have I once was a bit to enthusiastic and managed to make it go in a bit far, gun sulked, never happens on a steel mag, so I wont buy another one.
I'm interested in this also..have you had a look through and ACOG before, how does it compare if you have?Quote:
