Are there published weights yet for each length?

11.1oz for the 13.5 w/barrel nut.

I'll let you know how much the 11 weighs in a few days.

ALMOST picked up the 9 too today, but that one really needs QD sockets and rail sections. Dammit, shoulda just picked it up. Why delay the inevitable.

Will the uppers/rifles direct from Noveske be the exact design as the rail being sold as a stand alone item? Or will there be a design difference exclusive to a complete upper/rifle ordered from Noveske ?

Exact same rail. Only difference is a factory gun's upper will be drilled/pinned for anti-rotation.

Slight thread drift here as Trauma's post brought this to mind.

My understanding is that Noveske is or may not be going to continue taking direct orders, only thru their dealers.
I'm not speaking of just the NSR but ANY complete upper/rifle. Sorry for the drift but with Todd a frequent contributor here
maybe he could clarify if this is correct.

The answers I've gotten from talking to Noveske staff is that they ARE in fact pushing a lot of their product ordering to their distributors. The two biggies I think would be DSG Arms and Rainier (many more, obviously). I've been told to order certain items through a distributor. Unfortunately a lot of these companies have no ability to backorder items (DSG does I believe) so there is a gap there where Noveske may not be getting a sense of what products are in demand, other than phone requests. If I want a stainless 300BLK barrel in x length, I was told to order it through a distributor and it could be 3 weeks to 2 months. But the distributor would be the one "placing the order" with Noveske.

I think Noveske has been so swamped with orders that most of their stock is being kept for rifle/upper orders exclusively and if they happen to have a surplus on any one item, they may post it as in-stock on their website.

Rambling here, maybe Todd can enlighten us. Todd, where would I find a Noveske stripped upper receiver? I can't order one from Rainier (no backorder system), I can't order one directly from you, would I use DSG? What are my options?

We are seeing more and more manufacturers getting away from accepting orders directly. The main reason for this is because they simply do not have the man power to keep up.

We are a Noveske Distr. and do stock certain components from them. We also accept back orders that are e-mailed to us.

9" handguards are designed to fit behind a mid length fixed front sight, they should be the same length.

There will not be enough room for the silencer, you will need at least a 12.0" barrel.

We are not selling any upper receivers that I know of, everything is going into rifles and complete uppers.

Only items that are in stock can be ordered from our website. Some products may only be available through distributors.
