Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone out there has had experiences with the NEA AR15s from nzar15.com?
quite a few of us on here have them , what would u like to know ? ... solid , shoots fine , loads and cycles fine , very angular (I love it) and very modular, .. great price and fantastic service from ken at nzar15 .... I want to buy more of them , ....
You can also get CMMG and Spikes ARs from Ken now too, if you don't want the angular receivers.
I absolutely fukin loved mine, but sold it on, just wanted to fullfill a long time ache......another box ticked
Thanks for that. Just wanted to know as I am considering purchasing one in the future.
Go for it with confidence....Quote:

Put the lower together myself, very pleased with the fit an finish of this rifle.
Ken was very good to deal with too.
Lots of guys have NEA's at the range all function and shoot very well.
Cheers

NEA is one of my 2/3 choices (Well brownells is doing a huge sale right now so I now have 3 choices). If I wasnt going to shoot WSRA so needed a service rifle like M16A2/M4 I'd probably buy the 18inch barrelled one, at $1699 its a hell of a price.
:yum:
The only thing that raised an eyebrow is it uses the cheaper (I assume) 6061 alloy and not the stronger 7075 alloy which is more "normal". Really though I suspect that makes no difference what so ever, Im never gong to be bayoneting ppl or beating them senseless with it, at least I hope not.
:sarge:
Originally M16 receivers were made from forged 6061, but the forging process made them prone to galvanic corrosion with the front pivot pin, so 7075 was used instead. Milled 6061 (like the NEA) is more corrosion resistant than 7075.Quote:

Yeah I have been eyeing up the 18" one, especially with the price as you say. Looked at the 3rd generation one but I don't really see how it would make a difference

here is my dad having a go with my 18 inch dmr nea .....
Good guns, accurate, dependable and great service. Nothing wrong with the gen 2 at all. I would jump at the lower price, leaving you with money to spend on either ammo, nicer hand guard or optics.
Great company, fantastic rifles and even better post sales service.Quote:

Only 7 Gen 2s left. Sold 5 today.
The one I used was nice but had a horrible trigger and the safety was so stiff that you struggled to manipulate it with your thumb.
To be fair it was almost brand new and were probably easy fixes and the AR I'd been using a day before that was on its 3rd barrel so was well worn in.
I bought a really nice gisselle gs2 trigger for mine from digit , fantastic feel , and great price , my safety is nice and deliberate and feels good as well ... they are only held by spring pressure and a little pointed detent ... I guess a lighter spring would make them nicer , ...
Variations in selector spring hole depths in different grips can cause stiff selector movement.

Looking at an AR15 platform as a Xmas and Birthday pressy really will give these guys a call
Do they have an actual shop you can visit?
yes they do , give ken a call from the number on his website , ..
You're welcome to drop in and have a look. We have a recently expanded showroom and are located on the kapiti Coast about 1 hour north of Wellington. You get to handle different ARs and discuss options available plus any licensing issues.
Would a sliding stock with adj l.o.p be any better suited to two guys with e cat licences sharing the same e cat rifle, rather than a fixed thumb hole stock? Or are the sliders all a bit wobbly?Quote:

The Giselle trigger is VERY nice. Most semis I've shot have had "military" triggers, this is a completely different animal.
Very cool bit of kit, I can see why the NEAs are so popular.
Ignoring the licensing side of the question, modern sliding AR stocks have less wobble than the old school ones-and some even have none, I have a magpul stock that I can't make move at all that was designed for dmr 308 ar'sQuote:

I have VLTOR, Magpul and generic M4 stocks and they all wobble. The VLTOR is the tightest and the M4 flat out rattles.

This is the stock I'm talking about, as you can see it's not your std Magpul stock,honestly I can't get any wobble out of it. It's heavy tho but not as heavy as the prs it replaced
That is a pretty neat stock. Haven't seen them for sale anywhere before.
Can you put an extra check piece on them?
There are two heights of factory pieces available
