Is anyone familiar with Next Generation Arms (NGA) of Tidewater, OR.?
These guys are just down the road from me a bit, and I'm trying to find out more about them. Pretty small outfit turning out allegedly high quality AR rifles. Ceramic coatings and a hydraulic buffer standard. 60% reduction in movement. No oil after initial break in. I'm looking at the JC382 currently.
My main concerns are the same as that of buying anything from a brand new company: No reputation that I'm aware of; Potential for not being around long enough to honor their lifetime warranty (a risk with anyone, no doubt); Potential resale value issues if they don't take off in popularity.
My local shop owner is sold on these, has bought one himself, sold some to local LEOs, and says this is the basic chassis for rifles costing a lot more; I can't remember the name off hand.
The others I'm looking at right now are DPMS and Bushmaster. The NGA wouldn't cost me much more than either of these options, and it sounds like it's got some good features. My dealer is pushing them hard, and he's a Bushy dealer, too. I just can't figure out if I should put my trust in this company, despite the fact that I'd be supporting a local business (two, actually, as I'd buy it through my dealer).
Has anyone ever heard of these guns, or have an opinion on my quandary?
