    Also also also all the photos of the rifles on your website are the same rifle. And AR15s shouldn't have an apostrophe. I'm done now.

    We will import a range of parts including tubes as the year progresses. At this stage our main drive is to get as many AR15s into the country as possible. Is there a particular make/model of tube you are after - I can let you know if we can get it.

    Great to see these rifles are finally here. As they say good things take time. Sharp price as well. Sure it's possible for individuals to import parts to assemble into rifles for less than 2k but a lot can't be bothered to learn the process & just like to be able to put the cash down & go shooting. Hopefully the days of excessive profiteering are gone.

    Yes - same photo for all guns. We used the original police sample for the photos. Will be getting more photos done soon. the NEA website has its own images too.
    Thanks for the spell check

    Thanks - hopefully our prices will have an effect on the rest of the industry. The more ARs in Kiwis hands the better it will be for all licence holders in the long run.

    Also also, I don't think your blurb is correct, it should say "rifle length" probably... because carbine buffer tubes are different and you couldn't fit one of these stocks on one
    We source the complete stock/buffer tube assembly separately from NEA through our relationship with Leapers It is cheaper to do this than buy a separate buffer tub assembly. This means that all guns come with this complete A2 assembly and any other stocks would simply be an addition to the overall price. If you purchase one of the guns with the tube stock, we can fit it but you would also get the A2 stock.

    Thanks for the blurb info.

    Very nice. Would they be able to change between 22 and 223 without too much hassle?

    As soon as NEA release a 22 upper we will grab some. We have had plenty of requests for these. The NEAs also work witth existing conversion kits.

    We have updated the website with pictures of the actual guns. Muzzle break has been removed for each gun.

    They're only thumbnail size, even when you try and enlarge the image. Any chance we could get some larger images?

    Troy TRX Extreme or the Troy VTAC ones.

    Some reasonably priced match triggers would be nice too. I paid $460 for a Timney which was $rape

    Do you know if the people making the skeleton stocks have any plans to make a shorter "Entry length" one like ACE do?

    Or would that be too difficult with the different buffer tube required and possibly too small of a market.
