Yep. I have one, the 18" barrel version and I like it a lot. I put a timney trigger in it and swapped out the pistol grip but other than that its good to go.
I also have a 20" Windham weaponry which in theory should be more accurate but its not as good as the R15. The R15 fit and finish is better than the Windham that I have as well. No rattles at all. Every thing is a snug fit.
I have put around 1500 rounds through my R15 from new with not a single problem.

Gidday, have been reading through this thread - alot of good info here along with some very knowledgeable members.

I've got a slightly over gassed ar since fitting a suppressor, breed is: NEA-15 12.5" carbine, had a custom Maximus suppressor fitted by Robbie Tiffen.

Recoil impulse isn't terrible but the telltale signs of overgassing are there, spent cartridges are clipping the ejection port window on the way out and scraping on the deflector. Also the spent cases are landing at the One/Two O'clock position.

Ideally, an adjustable gas block is gonna be the way to go but I heard removing the hand guard on NEA's isn't pleasant & I don't have any armourer's tools as of yet.

So... I've ordered a Spikes Tactical ST-2 heavy buffer from NZAR15 to help mitigate the reciprocating rate and to help with my gassy rifle.

Has anyone had any experience with the heavy buffers? Or the Spikes one in particular? Is this a good resolution?

Any advice is much appreciated

Regards

The heavy buffer may help but it's probably not going to fix the problem completely.
And yours still doing more dirty gas them needed into your receiver-bad for both cleaning and potentially gas into your face.

My advice would be to bite the bullet so to speak and buy and adjustable gas block,the nea handgard is fine to take on and of without any special tools as it just clamps onto a std barrel nut that you don't need to touch(unless there is an updated version I haven't seen)

Hi thanks for the response res,

Will see how the new heavy buffer goes when it arrives, if still an issue will probably invest in adj gas block. Any recommendations?

Not sure what gen my NEA is but purchased the rifle July this year, think they are up to gen3 now. I was told by Mr Hardy himself a wee while back not to remove the handgaurd as you will most likely f#*k it up... ?

As for gas in the face, not an issue, runs like a champ. Would the slower reciprocating rate aided from the ST2 buffer help reduce wear on the BCG etc from the rifle being slightly overgassed?

Cheers

What length buffer tube you got bro?

Just had a look on their website, states it is a "6-Position Carbine Stock - Milspec" So would be the carbine length I pressume
