Could we get a function/ reliability report on the short tube set ups? The NEA Compact Carbine Stock set up is very nice. I am interested in the function with 300 and 5.56. "NOT 22LR". Thanks Check the AR pistol forum. The NEA buffer assembly and modified bolt carrier looks VERY similar to the GSE 2nd generation pistol buffer assembly and modified bolt carrier. The GSE 2nd gen has been around for a while, so it's probably been mentioned in the AR pistol forum. |

MY socks are off, any plans to put a check rest pad on the buffer tube? Yes, the plan is to use the same tube and essentially the same body as the NEA CCS. This first one was just what I could build on manual equipment. The proper thing would need to be CNC'd. This is really cool, and well done. I think from a practical standpoint, you'll take a hit or two for not being able to adjust length of pull, but it's very cool. There is no reason the stock couldn't have some degree of OAL adjustability built into it. Again, as a prototype I had to go with what I could build from the parts I had lying around. Currently the LOP is a bit longer than the NEA CCS but it can be shortened up somewhat. Just have to make sure everything works together. |

Does the GSE 2nd Gen have any kind of anti-bounce weight inside the carrier? If not I'd be surprised if it works hardly at all. |

I've got a couple bufferless SBR's, and one no-weight buffer in a DI-45 AR, and there are dozens of designs out there with no traditional dead-blow buffer that run like sewing machines. |

Never a hick-up, my first shot with it actually FTE I thought maybe my gas block needed adjusting, that was with a super. After loading up subtonics and making no adjustments to the GB it runs like a champ, not sure what the first time was, it works great. |

Testing on the original prototype showed the thing wouldn't run hardly at all without the anti-bounce. The carrier would hit the back of the barrel extension and bounce backwards slightly. Then the hammer would hit the back of the carrier and cause light strikes. We tried a variety of spring rates and nothing worked. As soon as an anti-bounce function was added the problem went away and the thing ran perfectly. |

I've got a 10 inch 7.62x25 pistol upper with the gas port at the 'pistol' location. Cycling is very weak with factory ammo and a standard carbine buffer. Dump the weights out of the buffer and it runs fine. |

Well I ordered my NEA stock today. I plan on installing it on my ARES Shrike to give it that Para look. I'm not against machining down the bolt carrier, to accept the Spex buffer/spring, but does anyone know if the GSE pistol buffer system will fit in and function in the NEA/SPEX tube? If it works I may be able to use the GSE buffer without having to modify a $400 shrike bolt carrier.
Obviously I'll post pictures when it gets here

This Honey Badger will be blacked out, upper and lower. Eventually I'll get there, but it will take longer than expected. The build and the wait is part of the goal, otherwise I won't make it. Hope SHOT Show will reveal more goodies for us. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Where is everyone getting these 6 and 7 inch barrels? For those with custom barrels, what gas port sizes? I got mine from my dealer who bought it from Lothar Walther, Germany. Lothar Walther I appreciate not everyone can do that, and it was an expensive option but I got what I wanted. When asking for advice, this is part of the reply I got from LW. "thank you for your interest in our products. The Honey Badger is indeed a nice and compact rifle system. However, as a barrel manufacturer we produce barrels per customer specifications and do not test fire or develop solutions for twist and gas port dimensions. Our common twist rate for .300 AAC is 1:8 (203mm) but different projectiles might require a different twist rate. We can not recommend a specific twist rate over another, because it comes down to customer preference and application. The same is true for the gas port Ø. It mainly depends on the weapon system / gas system length and pressure levels and directly affects the reliability and cycling operation of the gun. The best way would be to start small, e.g. Ø1,7mm. A good gun smith can later increase the diameter until the cycle operation works flawlessly with the used loads. I can not guarantee proper functionality as this is a responsibility of the gun smith putting together the pieces!" In the end I (Think) I went for Ø1,90port, however we drilled this bigger as we mounted an adjustable gas port, and wanted to have more gas to play with. |

I think it was from Samson, but can't find it ono their webpage. Took a while Before I understood how to mount it on the rail. I was thinking it was picatinny, but it screws directly into my JP Rifles rail. SWEET!!!
Not a big fan of fore grips, but this one I could get used to. EDIT: Samson Evolution Vertical Grip - Short |

The alluminum buttstock extension button has worn to a point where the stock collapses during recoil. Anyone else have this issue firing anything other than .223? This isn't good...I just got my stock in yesterday and slapped it on my Shrike. It's pretty bad ass looking but I've got to find a smith who can modify a Shrike BCG to function with the NEA stock. A couple things I noticed. the stock had a pretty good nick in it fresh out of the box, but it'll be a shooter so whatever. The stock also only had 1 stock retention set screw on it's left side. The right side is drilled and tapped, there is a notch for the screw to go when the stock is fully extended, but no screw. I emailed them and they replied this morning saying that it isn't supposed to have a screw in both sides even though it is clearly machined to have a screw, I insisted they mail me one. If they don't I'll go buy one for $0.10, it's just not something I should have to track down. Third, the stock won't lock in the last notch, when fully closed, their machining is off here, I'll bust out a file and fix it. Next, there is almost ZERO staking of gas key to the bolt, just a slight nick where the staking should be. Finally, the good news is I ordered it on 9 Jan, received it on 23 Jan and it shipped via the Canadian carrier, no money was due from customs unlike if you ship it USPS. All in all this is a super looking product, they got it 95% right and the missing 5% is all the "give a shit factor". They have a steller product, just needs a little more attention to detail to make it 100% correct. ETA: I got a second reply, 2 set screws will be going out in the mail. very happy with that customer service. |

It is an AR mag release assy that has had the mag catch end machined down to roughly the same dimensions as the mag button. It is made of alluminum where as a typical AR mag release is all steel. Sounds like its time to get out the Dremel after the big brown truck delivers some stuff from brownells.

Huh, for a $400+ stock, you would figure they wouldn't cheap out on the one thing that keeps you from getting scope-eye.
And where the heck did they find aluminum mag catches? Airsoft? Surely they didn't pay to have those made that way? |

So I swapped around some of my stocks and stuff and came out with this but lacking a trigger... <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Slayer-LongShot/media/IMG_4214_zps44996c07.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/Slayer-LongShot/IMG_4214_zps44996c07.jpg</a> I shot my x39 with the NEA stock installed. The alluminum buttstock extension button has worn to a point where the stock collapses during recoil. Anyone else have this issue firing anything other than .223? Wait, the stock latch is aluminum? I haven't dissassembled it yet, but I believe it's just a ar15 mag release button. It is an AR mag release assy that has had the mag catch end machined down to roughly the same dimensions as the mag button. It is made of alluminum where as a typical AR mag release is all steel. Sounds like its time to get out the Dremel after the big brown truck delivers some stuff from brownells. <a href="http://s898.photobucket.com/user/aeroscout9/media/image_zps14b9e380.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac185/aeroscout9/image_zps14b9e380.jpg</a> Wow, that is sad. I'd email NEA, they responded the next morning to my concerns and are paying to ship a .10 screw from Canada to VA to make things right. How long have you had your stock? I know from talking to them today they are on their 2nd generation. I'll have to pull mine and see if it's aluminum... [ETA: mine's steel, it holds a magnet] Modified to keep thread on track |

Modified to keep thread on track I'll probably just start a new thread and stop hijacking this one. Honestly though, I would not have seen the NEA stock without this thread. So, thanks OP. |

So, thanks OP. +1, this is how I found it. Also, you should be able to just rotate your mag catch 180* and get a little more life out of it while you wait on your Steel unit to show up. Also, it's pretty amazing how little contact the mag catch makes with the stock, doesn't seem like it'll last in the long run. Better stock up on steel mag catches... |
