    The current stock is designed so that it can be shortened by swapping out the lower tube. There is also a thumbhole drag version being built which has a third bar which will come down to meet the bottom of the pistol grip. The designer has one on trademe at the moment if you want to talk to him in person.

    I see you are sold out on your webpage of all options. When do you expect to get in the next shipment?

    Yes 300Blk will be available in a month or two - also NEA have previously stated that the 308 is a potential development.

    I take it if something went wrong with a rifle you guys would take care of it? The prospect of an AR for that kind of money has me really excited but I'm concerned. Do you guys have any warranties?

    Also are these chrome lined barrels?

    The barrels are nitrided with a proprietary process. It offers the same or better benefits as chrome without irregularities in the bore which chrome lining almost always causes. The barrels have a lifetime warranty. If I may answer on your behalf Digit

    The same nitriding process is used to protect the landing gear on F22 fighter jets. Random snippet of info. It was created by NEA's parent company

    What about with out muzzle brake............................................. .......
    Sorry BT, just a slight correction, its the Nato round SS109 and it is designed for the 1:7 twist barrels on the AUG and the Colt variants that employ a 1:7 twist tube.
    I am not sure if it can be sourced in civy street. M193 shot very well out of a 1:7 and is readily available.
