Hi,
Just noticed this thread on Guntrader http://www.guntrader.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=179324#p179324 The guy posting is a director of North Eastern Arms, a quick search on t'internet highlights this http://northeasternarms.com/ |
| Kind of odd market research area from a parent company such as this.......http://www.northeasternaerospace.com/ |

I read that first, which is how I found the parent company (thought you were a detective?...  ). I just think it's strange a large concern like that would consider our modest market. Might be a personal interest..

Might be a personal interest.. I get your point, relatively niche market even for a small dedicated business. Hopefully they will spot this thread and enlighten us

You asked and we found you. ;) Our company started off in the Defence Aerospace industry 50 years ago. During this time we took contracts from several well known firearms manufacturers making components; it was a good way to keep our staff working through the manufacturing decline. 2 years ago we did a spin out creating North Eastern Arms making firearms accessories. We have ~70 accessories for over a dozen different platforms. Many being used by several SF and SWAT units in multiple theaters. Now we're making complete AR rifles. Being a Canadian company and one whose rifles and components are Canadian made, we have no ITAR restrictions, nor export restrictions. So we're very interested in serving the international markets with a well priced, well build AR. Our standard AR's are selling well globally, but we're always looking for the next market. Keep in mind that our base model AR's all feature billet receivers, free float quad rails, polygonal rifled barrels that are processed with our proprietary ARC+ Nitriding. All this retails in Canada ~$1000 and carries a lifetime warranty, even on the barrel. For these reasons we're having a hard time keeping up to demand. We have an office in Hereford, but can't for the most part sell our rifles in the UK. So we began asking about creating a straight-pull AR for your market. There are several others that can only own an AR in this configuration as well, but most notably (and close to us) is the UK. We're still small enough that we can take chances and release to smaller markets. We enjoy building rifles, and we really enjoy servicing markets like yours. |

We have a rifle, receivers and components shipping to a shop in the UK shortly. Hopefully you'll hear about them there soon. We've put together one of our Carbines with no gas system as a test rifle for you guys to play with. Who's it going to? C'mon, 'fess up |

Are there ay pics? Our website has quite a few, but is experiencing a problem displaying some of our products right now. Same as our facebook pages. The carbines and DMR's are still displaying online. Our media section has some vids as well. Quoted:
Not Edgar Bros  Edgar Brothers is one of our dealers, but they haven't expressed any interest in our complete rifles as of yet. I'm sure if you asked nicely though. ;) |

I'm sure if you asked nicely though. ;) I'd be interested to know what retail price Edgar's are offering it for. They tend to be wholesalers to the trade only and while normaly one of the better regarded ones, they don't have any experience with ARs and have in the past been criticised for their mark-ups. |

ok I have no idea who or what your all talking about, but the names are just making me piss meself anyway, carry on LOL Given some of the underhands stunts pulled by him and the general air of displeasure I find from anyone who has had any dealings with him, I believe the name calling is quite mild.

When I was looking for a Sig 522 for plinking and not long after I bought my straight pull L1A1 I called him about Sig magazines and he was ranting bollocks about the legality of the SLR for about half an hour 
Suffice to say when my FEO came round to do my ticket renewal a few weeks ago he was (as an ex military SLR user) more interested in trying to remember his old rifle drill with it than anything else - he seemed quite happy with it 
I haven't called Suffolk Dicksplash since and shan't be again either

| And if there are companies in your region that are Douchebags we'd like to know as well (obviously not publicly). We often opt to support the underdog dealers because they're the ones that work hard for their customers and keep the prices reasonable. We also like to make sure that our dealers maintain a certain reputation in their fields. |

Quoted:
That's not who ordered from us.. I'll post who it is once they have their order. We're just processing their export cert. I think their first order will be for in-house use and to drum up interest over there. Are you going to make them the "official importer"? 
C'mon, who is it? |

There's a guy in Suffolk who does a lot of really high-end AR15s.... Yeah, but he's widely an atomic cunt for the way he conducts business. I've never heard anyone with a good word to say for him. Could someone explain why? a good mate is about to buy an rifle from this bloke
