Title: Can't Find North Eastern Arms Accessories?
Post by: auctoris on February 11, 2015, 12:11:42 AM

I'm brand new to Vz. 58s and I saw a video praising NEA accessories. But I can't find them. I googled them and found a couple of sites. One site has no products on it. The other site has no commercial information--only military/le. When I go to that area, it lists some accessory categories, but there are no links to get to them.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there anywhere I can see their products?

Thanks

That's because they no longer advertise accessories for the VZ. They apparently still make parts on an occasional basis but they don't stay in stock very long and only come around once or twice a year if that. What accessories are you looking for?

I just saw the YouTube video from Funker discussing the NEA upgrade package for the Vz. 58. I just wanted to see what they had.

Thanks

Did you notice the date on the video? Honestly you are probably better off looking elsewhere. NEA is no longer focusing on this rifle.

They have the goods. I don't know about what the others said but whenever they do run out of stock it does take a few months before they are available. I really like mine but want to try the Bonesteel next.

And right now the Canadian dollar is at 80% of USD, so you get a good built in discount.  Use a card with no international fees for an even better deal.

Any advantages of the NEA straight stock adapter (http://www.theammosource.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_288_290&products_id=940) over the Stormwerkz?

Thanks

Instead of posting a new thread, you can also use the search function in top right, a google search "site:czfirearms.us search words" no quotes, or scroll down the page to thread titled "NEA Handguards back in stock" 
http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=68459.0

NEA is a Canadian firm and is now more focused on ARs than the VZ58...  But products occasionally come back into availability in their retail store.

Troy Industries also made their products in the USA for a hot minute and you might find some troy products on the secondary market if you do some searching too...

Thank you for the info. But I had done a search. Since my interest was not exclusively in handguards, I did not think that topic would answer my question. My mistake.

Also, since that post was from December, I didn't think it would have information about the current state of the NEA web site(s) for which I was having a problem.

I wrote a couple of scripts that perform site searches via Duck Duck Go. No need for "site:*" via Google. Google is the devil. :)
