Been trying to get a straight pull in 300

I'm about to do the same...
What was the problem?

[phaedra1106]

LanTac, very nicely finished kit but there's no way I'd pay over £2000 for what is basically a collection of other manufacturers parts (as are most AR platform builds!).
NorthWest Custom Parts - No Parts for about 4 months
Mark Bradley - Same as above so I was told

I was also after a straight pull in 223, my friend in the US has a NEA-15 (Canadian North Eastern Arms), LanTac are/were one of the UK importers but are no longer selling them as in their words "Not saying they are bad but the 4 we had were not very good quality" which is very odd as they have a good reputation and my friends (and his friends) are spot on.

At £1300 they were a lot cheaper than LanTacs own offerings. Suffolk Rifle Company have one left which is their demo "Gucci" model. I've emailed NEA to see what the position is with a UK supplier. Only other option is an LMT which one of my local RFDs sells for less than LanTac who again are one of the distributors!.

Build your own, I essentially did, only thing that was sourced through an RFD was the Barrel (Border) and bolt.

I had thought of that, if you have any info for sourcing a reasonably priced upper & lower etc. I'd be very interested indeed, was the bolt supplied with the side charging handle?.

[John MH]

Most of my parts were sourced from my own recycled AR15s, the Bolt carrier was from a 6mmAR which can be swapped back when required and it already had a side charger conversion. The stripped lower was sourced second hand, the handguard and lower parts kit, trigger etc were purchased by me.
