"My first contact with Next Generation Arms was through a demo model that another firearms instructor had.  The weapon felt really good and had all of the accoutrements that I would expect.   Then we shot it and the performance surpassed amazing.  One hole groups became common.  The trigger was tuned enough that shooting hammers at 20 yards was easy.  While pushing the rifle on the range, several federal officers were on the next range and they came over and wanted to see the full auto gun.  We had to explain to them that the rifle we had was semi auto only.

 The instructor that had the NGA rifle explained to us that the model we had had never been cleaned, and yet it functioned flawlessly.  A high performance rifle that didn’t need to be cleaned, enough said.  I was so smitten with the rifle that I eventually purchased it, selling another AR-15, knowing that it wouldn’t be needed anymore."
