Didn't exactly set out thinking about this build lol. It's all been purchased since I left home.You should have just had that stuff sent to my house for 'eyes only' redaction.
Noveske barrels
- Thread starter Righter13
- Start date
Just waiting for a few more pieces to get to the house before it gets sent off for assembly.
Yep!!! The FH,Barrel and PRI CH are scheduled for delivery Tuesday.
Red barn armory. Don't think it was a set though. Just ordered both at same time.
Nevermind. It was a set. Just checked my email.
That pyro or whatever is sweet. EXPENSIVE though.

DSG has it for about $100 cheaper than anywhere else. Biggest advantage I see in it is that it uses all the same parts that the silencer uses except the baffles and tube. So it's like having spare parts around if need be.
That's crazy...
To me it a combination of quality/QC and the name.
@DarthVader and @Wallace can probably speak better to this.

If I didn't want to run everything surpressed this would be a rifle I'd love to have.

Why is that almost $3k though. Is it not just a decent AR with magpul shit and a nice hand guard lol???

Look at the rail,upper,lower too. I'm 98% that's all made in house. They're not just forced receivers they then mill out.
Seems a tad crazy but I don't know much more than the average joe sooooo I could be missing something.

Not made in house. They are contracted out for production. SMOS used to make everything for Noveske, but I think they have parted ways now and someone else is producing the GEN III stuff. If you like the Noveske receivers, you can just buy the SMOS version.
Now, as to the why the hell are they so expensive question. It depends on what you're looking at. They did some limited run guns years ago that qualify as collector type items and would easily command several thousand dollars from the right buyer.
But their standard lineup falls squarely in the Boutique category these days. This is one of the few cases where I can say that you are actually paying a premium for the roll mark. They have not adjusted their pricing model in more than 10 years. Meanwhile the AR world has changed significantly. North of the $2k mark, nothing other the KAC SR15 is worth that kind of money. And you truly can build a gun comparable to Noveske for less money. If John were still with us and at the head of the ship, I might argue that it was worth it. But they just aren't the same company they used to be.
Yep, same exact lower below minus the roll mark.
