Wow NOMAD, that is AWESOME!! Thank you so much. You made my decision much more difficult, but I thank you just the same.

Post some pics when you get it Paul. I thought mine would be here today but it wasn't. Hopefully tomorrow.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Heh, same boat...mine didn't show up either. :-( Holding breath...

 

[Rob01]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Mine showed up today. Here's a couple quick pics of the upper on my POF lower. Haven't been able to get to the range and probably won't until Sunday unfortunately.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

These look fantastic! However, my search-fu is failing me and I'm having a hard time finding answers to a few questions I have:

1) What barrel mfg is Nordic using on these? Are the black barrels the same stainless barrels with a coating of some sort?
2) Can you get one with a different guard, ie: Magpul MOE?

Thanks!

Rob...that looks like a shooter...I'm looking forward to your range review.

 

[paulyosh]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Argh Rob, you beat me to it! Hopefully mine shows up in the next day or so...

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

My upper just showed up. It has an Aimpoint w/ Larue mount on it. Fit between upper and lower has ZERO movement. Weight as shown is exactly 8 pounds.

I ordered it Monday and it got here today. I'd say that is PDQ.

I hope to run it tomorrow and see how it does. I plan on starting with Federal 510's 'cause I have a metric ass-load of them.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Nice setup KS...be sure to report back on function testing!

Well, I sent my inquiry to Nordic...thought I'd share the response:


1) What barrel mfg is Nordic using on these? <span style="color: #CC0000">Green Mountain Barrels</span>
2) Can you get one with a different guard, ie: Magpul MOE? <span style="color: #CC0000"> Nordic does not carry the additional parts, but could deliver a rifle with no handguard (not certain if that brings a discount)</span>

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Looking good nice looking NC22!!!

I may have to order me a heavy barrel version as well!

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Does anyone know if these will function in FA with a RR m16?

no they wont, they are working on a full auto version

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Ah, mine made it today...very nice! Sadly, I won't be able to shoot it until next weekend.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Anyone know what chamber they run in the 20" HB? I emailed them but have not heard back.

I have emailed them twice and got no reply. BUT...my upper showed up in 3 days so I guess they are busy filling orders. I too, would like to know that answer.

I think you might want to call to get your answer. Please post the answer when you get it.

thanks,
Keith

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

The chambers are SAAMI Spec.

 

[MtGoat]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Will most AR compatible handguards fit on the upper ie LaRue Tactical 12.0" Handguard LT15-12? This would allow one to set-up the upper exactly like their 223 upper!!!!

I really like my Tactical Solutions AR-15 M4 Upper but I may need to compare the two side by side especially if I can put a LaRue handguard on it

Does the bolt stay open after the last round?

Pat

 

[Adam B]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Pat you will find that the Nordic upper is superior. I replaced my Tactical Solutions upper with a Nordic and couldn't be happier. The damn thing runs like a sewing machine and will run on any brand/type of ammo.

 

[JoeBobOutfitters]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

I haven't had a lick of problems over the last few months with my NC22 18" upper! Nordic has been great to work with

 

[Ghogs Nightmare]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Any of you happy owners happen to own a spikes upper as well? The nordic sounds good, like what i hear on the reliability (ease of shooting anything).
.
Was wondering if anyone had a pref between the two who's experienced both.

 

[MtGoat]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

When I purchased my Tactical Solutions upper it was neck and neck with a Spike's. TactSol was local so won out. It sounds as if the advantage for the Nordic Components is the new proprietary bolt design with improved ramp. The TacSol feeds very well once you find what it likes...but I have a stack of different boxes of 22 shells I planned to use in my bolt guns but if the NC runs anything....woo hooo.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Ordered mine last week and my card got charged so hopefully it's here soon!!!

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Like I said I have used every conversion kit and replaceable upper and the Nordic Has been the most reliable and has worked flawless.

I have been getting so much trigger time the last 3 weeks with this it has been unreal.

 

[MtGoat]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Nomad,

Does the bolt stay open after the last round?

Pat

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Yes the bolt stays open after the last round!!

I have to check again though i think when the mag gets removed from the gun the bolt will go home!!

It does stay open after the last round is fired. When you remove the mag the bolt slams forward.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Has anyone unscrewed the flash hider and ran a can on it?

Keith

 

[MtGoat]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Oh well I was hoping with an upper redesign maybe have my cake and eat it too. At least no last round dry fire on the 22

Fake Spike's Tactical Can to tryout. Adds a little weight, but shortens it a bit. Looks cool at least!

Bought mine without the flash hider....waiting on the Form 4 on the .22 can to clear.

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

I am thinking about getting the .22 can myslef!!

 

[SkaerE]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

i should be testing my new 18'' with a can this weekend. they told me they thread them concentric to the bore inhouse so it should be good for a suppressor.

im excited. looks like a top notch upper.

does anyone have any real accuracy reviews yet? i know the early ones were reported to have flyers but according to nordic they got ahold of that problem and fixed it.

 

[pyplynr]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

tag. gotta get one of these!

 

[Tbag]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

It's Sunday how are the new ones running, stil the same as a sewing machine?

 

[AlabamaShooter]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Man I can't wait to get mine this week. Then its a range day this weekend!

 

[HN7]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

The 16" is back ordered on their website. Any idea when they will be back in stock?

 

[SkaerE]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

call them and see. they told me everything was in stock they were just too busy to update the website

 

[Dtarget]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Nomad,

For your upper, did you just screw a rail onto the hand guard or is the rail integral?

Is it possible to attach a pic rail to the bottom of the hand guard?

Will these accept standard AR hand guards?

 

[AlabamaShooter]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Man my NC upper got here today, and man its nicer than I thought it would be. There is absolutely no play between the upper and lower at all. I can't wait till the weekend to run it! PICS will be posted tomorrow

 

[glocksig40]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Shit!!!! I didn't know about the Nordic $50 off deal until now. I ordered mine last Friday and got it in on Tuesday. Put it together and added a new Leupold prismatic sight. Replaced the smooth quadrail with a YHM diamond in midlength. I bought the 18" stainless. Pics coming shortly.

 

[glocksig40]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Here are the pics of my Nordic NC22 with 18" barrel. Leupold Prismatic. Yankee Hill free float handguard. OD green Duracoat on rifle and mags. Left a strip of the smoke colored mags unpainted so I could still see how many rounds are in the mags. This was a piece together lower that 737SHARK and I both scrounged parts to build. I like the way it turned out.

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

stacyp...VERY nice!

[DDM4]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Those are some nice NC22's.I have been in the market for a nice upper and couldnt decide between CMMG and tac-sol. After reading this thread and a few other posts i decided to order a NC22. Went with the 16'' with full-length guard and rail. It seems like a good design, sounds reliable and accurate enough.
Lets see some range reports !

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

I just got off the phone with them and they do have 16 inchers available. They just need to update the inventory control in website. I think Ken plans on doing that in a little bit so they should be ready to order.

I was away on vacation and I need a shooting fix and i plan on going out and using mine again tomorrow as well.

The float tube is there tube version that they offer as you see above if you have another tube type it will go on.

As for standard handguards you will have to do some mods to make that happen and to be honest you are taking two steps back by doing it.

They also sell picatinny rails long mediums and shorts that you can quickly screw into the pre-drilled holes to add stuff to the gun if you want or need them.

 

[Dtarget]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Placed my order for a 16". I hope Nordic gives you a commission Nomad. The man I spoke with at Nordic was very helpful even gave me the discount for an over the phone order. I am pretty excited about this.

If they are taking requests, a 14.5" with pinned flash hider would be nice.

 

[glocksig40]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

When I went to order mine, the website said it was backordered too but a phone call to Ken got it right on the way. Good customer service. Ken also advised me that as far as they know, any regular AR type accessory will work with these uppers. They were designed to allow you to customize them. My Yankee Hill handguard went on like butter. Couldn't be happier.

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

Dtarget call and ask them on monday they may be able to help get that taken care off!!

 

[Dtarget]

Re: Nordic Components NC22 Dedicated Upper Receiver

I ordered it on Friday so I it may be in transit by Monday. I will call and check though.

Hmm, a 14.5" barrel with a 13" troy battle rail is sounding pretty good.
