Behind the NLA × ECC Collab: A Limited Edition Builder Set Worth Grabbing Before December 5

Some collaborations happen because the timing is right. Others happen because the workmanship lines up. The NLA × ECC Limited Edition Builder Set is both.

A small batch run built on NLX standard forged receivers, finished by Emerald City Cerakote, and available for preorder through December 5.

After that, this finish is gone.

Why Emerald City Cerakote

ECC built their reputation on consistent Cerakote work, clean transitions, and patterns that look intentional on every surface. Their work holds up under scrutiny, which is exactly why we paired our forged receivers with their finishing.

ECC created a one-off pattern for this project. This is not from their regular menu. It will not be re-run later.

One pattern. One batch. That is it.

The NLX Foundation: Proven Forged Receivers

These sets use our standard NLX forged receivers. Clean forging work, precise cuts, and solid alignment.

The fit is dependable, the geometry is consistent, and the receiver set gives ECC the right surface prep for a crisp, clean finish.

You get reliability first, custom finish second — the way it should be.

Handguard Options for Real Builds

You get full control over your front end. Pick the handguard length that matches how you actually shoot.

Available handguard options:

• 4.5 inch MLOK

• 7 inch MLOK

• 9 inch MLOK

• 10.25 inch MLOK

• 13 inch MLOK

• 15 inch MLOK

Short, mid, rifle length — build it your way.

Optional B5 Upgrade for a Full ECC-Matched Setup

Add a matching B5 Grip and Stock coated by ECC in the same finish.

Everything stays uniform.

Everything looks like it belongs together.

No mismatched tones.

No sending parts out later.

No hoping the finish lines up.

It all gets coated as a single project.

Why This Drop Is Limited

ECC does not mass produce custom patterns. When they design a finish for a run like this, it lives with that run and nowhere else.

When the preorder window closes on December 5, that’s it.

Production starts.

The batch is locked.

The finish is retired.

Who This Set Is For

This collaboration is a perfect fit for shooters who want a rifle that looks intentional and performs the way it should.

Great for:

• AR15 builders who want clean, small batch Cerakote

• Fans of ECC’s work looking for something exclusive

• Shooters who want a custom rifle without custom wait times

• Collectors who want actual limited runs

• Anyone tired of rifles that all look the same
