    I think the 10 round ones are actually hitting the market about now

    The biggest issue with ARs is ammo and the simple fact that 99.9% of people don't know how to setup an AR for a non standard mil loading.

    I'll go into it in depth at some stage when I have time.

    5 and 10 round Pmags.... Got a few of the 5's and they're great. Really solid - can't go back to my factory RRA magazine now.

    Of course like the rest of the country... out of stock

    Out of curiosity, anyone shoot service rifle? Ie what would be a AR15 that would meet the rules? I see a M16A2 with a rusty barrel, so I assume a new std (is there such a thing?) barrel is an easy and not too costly replacement? Is it hard (or even possible) to get a C re-done as an E?

    regards

    It used to be possible, lots of early M16s, FN FALs, G3s, M14s and MP44s were converted to semi-auto when they were first imported. Now its frowned upon and more a matter of who you know and slipping it through. Although there is nothing in the law about it and people do move pistols from C to B. But that is another matter with its own issues.

    So my 14.5" NEA, when I put my shiny new waitaki eng can on it this weekend instead of the god awful, cause a concussion, muzzle break that it shipped with, Is it going to be fine to use with standard gas system, ie non adjustable gas block? I will be getting an adjustie or doing that dodgy sounding silicon job in the near future, but I will be itching to try her out and don't want to fark anything. Also can anyone on here tell me what buffer spring the nea14.5 has in it? Thanks

    I used mine with Waitaki can with no problems, but I still got an adjustable gas block

    It'll have a rifle buffer system (spring, tube, buffer) if it has the A2 stock


    It should function fine, you might get some gas in your eyes

    Advice sort on a leupold mark ar, 3-9 x 40 p5, to mount on NEA-15 DMR, or just get a vx2 3-9 x 40 with the LR duplex. both similar money. Are they the same optics wise.?
