End of the day they are an AR so you can change anything you want when you want. No they dont have RRA match trigger feel or JP accuracy but they dont cost the same either. Buy what level of quality you can afford and get out shooting it.

We get a fair amount of NEA bashing but its always the usual suspects who have a financial interest in the price reduction of AR's. Its interesting the comments we get from customers who have visited a couple of North Island vendors and the big South Island one - then end up buying NEA.

There have been a few growing pains as you would expect from a company that has only been producing a gun for the last 18 months. What we are seeing though is constant improvements to the product as they take on feedback. As long as customers dont expect a Noveske for sub 2k then they will be happy. The latest crop of guns is superb value - and you get a local manufactures rep.

NZers can also thank NEA for changing the market here. All NZ vendors (part timers through to the bigger companies) were screwing you until NEA arrived. We even saw the resident part timer here drop his prices as soon as NEA entered the market. The good news is that the competition is going to get even hotter very soon with sub 2k Stags in 6.8spc... I expect that will rip holes in the panties of one NI vendor
