In this short of an SBR, do any of you have any real-life experience (good or bad) that you'd be willing to share?
    I appreciate everyone's input and I truly value it. As a secondary source, I sent my question to Noveske and got this answer back which I think should be valuable to us all.

    "...first don't use any steel cased ammo, we have seen scratched chambers from doing so. We like the 77gr black hills ammo and the Hornady 75gr TAP, both shoot under 1MOA out of the 7 1/2". Now, I shoot a 10.5" and I like to go with lighter gr. bullets to get the velocities back up, I think the same would be true for the 7.5". The longer bullets are designed for high ballistic coefficient long range shooting, I don't think you bought your 7.5" for long range snipping. So I really think it makes since to shoot 55gr or lighter projectiles to get your 200yds and under energies back up. I am a reloader and I have shot all the way down to 40gr. ballistic tips with great success out of the 1 in 7 twist. High quality ammo will usually shoot cleaner and be more consistent for grouping. I hope this info helps."

    Ordered the 10.5 Shorty Low Profile complete upper yesterday. The wait begins... I am going with Form 1 as I will SBR my existing Noveske Lower. Any engravers in the Montana area???

    I second the sentiments about the good old 12ga. for home defense. I love my AR's, but with my rem. 870 tactical with reduced recoil 00 buck, I can guarantee it will only take 1 round for a home invasion perp to go out in a body bag with NO shooting back.

    12 gauge sounds good. This way you don't have to face him again in Civil court... Usually after the recovery, the intruder sues for everything you owe and the funny thing is that they win some of the cases. Sad but true.

    Picked up a full LWRC M6A2 10.5" SRT SBR gas piston driven upper on Gunbroker. Anyone got one of these? Can't seem to find any rating or feedback on them.

    Noveske 10.5" Full SBR - Available

    I was at the Scottsdale Gun Club this afternoon and saw that they had just put a brand new Noveske 10.5" complete rifle up on the wall. It won't last long. I believe it was posted at $2,199. I bought my 7.5" Diplomat from Macy, and I know others on this forum have had good luck with Kyle too.

    A Noveske SBR full rifle is as rare as a white crow these days. Too bad I ordered my Noveske upper allready, not to mention the LWRC gas piston upper I also purchased on Gunbroker. That Noveske Shorty will not last past this weekend!

    CKettler,

    When you purchased your Diplomat, they had it in the store or preordered it for you?

    Thanks for the reply. Double the wait sucks. I got the Shorty Upper directly from Noveske and will have to wait for it to be made, just like you...
