THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT i'm looking for an AR 15 soon and i've been told to look at NEA new AR 15 http://northeasternarms.com/beta/platforms-1 I was wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with them? i'm really nervous spending a lot of money on something so new. If anyone has any experience with this company i'd love to hear it! Thanks everyone |

No one has any experience with them, it's a brand new unproven rifle.

Handled a couple but not shot one.
They probably work fine but I'm sure you have other options that work fine AND are nicely made. More generally, if you're new to ARs (or shooting full stop) I'd suggest spending some time with other people's guns before jumping into something expensive. |

I've been following the NEA story up here and while the owner has admitted they have some quality control and customer service issues..they are working to fix these.
If it was me..I'd go with an established brand..Armalite, Bushy,Rock River..depending on your budget. If NEA is still in the ar business in a couple of years..I'd consider buying one. |

They seem pretty straight forward about fixing whatever it is that's broken. I am considering buying one, but I might wait to see what the fuss over the "monolithic" upper is all about. |

I am considering buying one, but I might wait to see what the fuss over the "monolithic" upper is all about. the problem I see with them at the moment is thier QC sucks, sure they have "great" customer service but so far they have had issues with everything, buffer tubes to long, gas port to small, trigger componets soft, bad gas keys making it to a customer, unstaked gas keys and castle nuts, misaligned FF Handguards, Bad Machining inside handguards.... so on and so on.... frankly they keep saying that the "canadian" market is small to them and they sell "thousands" of rifles to clients overseas without any problems surfacing..... frankly with thier lack of QC in canada that statement surprises me. offcially they have said there is less then 500 rifles in canada.... to me they should have spent the time, even an extra hour per rifle and done better QC and upped thier price by $40 but it would seem they where so set on a price point that they ran out of money before getting to the QC.... honestly, it would take 10 minutes to strip the rifle down, check the parts for alignment and enguagement, test fire the rifle with 10 rounds, another 10 minutes spent looking for irregular wear and wipe clean and re lube... pack in box. I agree with striker, I am not here to be a test bed... I want a rifle to run out of the box with minimal fuss... |

Andy from Canadian Reload Radio has one, he seems pleased with it, apart from the trigger.
