AR Thread

Range test with Spear Mags new AR mag and it functioned flawlessly, put about 35 rounds through it and it works perfect. I don't have a magpul to compare with but for $75 its a great buy when you think the crazy prices I've seen the magpul for ($299) H & F. $179 else where. Spear mags are onto a good thing here just hope they can keep up with demand once the word gets out.

whats the weight of stock standard NEA AR 14.5" out of interests sake?

[mcche171]

NEA's website has 6lb 10oz (2.99kg) listed as the weight. That is with a collapsable stock. So give or take a few grams for the fixed magpul stock.

The rugers are heavy as fuck especially the vt. Like, lar8 elite operator heavy which isnt cool for a 223. The ruger i played with last week had an upper with the splintered A forging mark. The same forging marked uppers that ontarget sold me recently but i doubt they were finished by ruger but theres a little observation i made.

Here's a pic of it all together...

I do recommend some rail hand guards. As the rails are cheese graters on the hands and the guards will also protect the rail edges
I have Troy ones on my AR, bottom and sides.

Already fitted before pics taken. Bottom and sides.
Just ladder covers at this stage. Might fit something else once I get to grips with it.

I do need an AFG if anyone has a spare.......

Hi guys ... I want to keep my AR-15 A-Cat 'legal' and looking at the different 'approved' stock designs. Anyone had any experiences with Bell & Carlson AR-15 Thumbhole Stocks? Or have any recommendations for similar style 'approved' stocks? I'd appreciate your feedback. Cheers Gunzrrr

Bell and Carlson's make operating the safety a bit difficult (hard to reach with the thumb). The Spear stock seems to be the most practical and well priced (+ locally made).

I'm going to be buying an AR in the next couple of weeks as have just sold a rental property, really want a 6.8spc. Am i best to buy an NEA 14.5" in 5.56 and a seperate 6.8spc upper, like the one from Delta Force? Or try get an Ar already in 6.8spc and possibly pick up a 5.56 upper for cheaper?
Are there any other manufacturers AR's in the country that are a case of spend a little more in purchase but get a lot more gun than the NEA. Wanting something light to take hunting

Don't know if you can get a lite ar say if comparing to contemporary hunting rifle styles like a tikka t3, I have a windham exterminator in 20inch barrel wit suppressor but got a good sling don't notice th weight after five mins also have a 16 inch norinco easy carry no sling great off hand shooting rifle and accurate (well mine is) suppressed as well u get use to the weight
