View Full Version : noveske AR-10
I think I want one.
#1. I want to run this with a Gem-tech suppressor. How will the suppressor effect the AR-10?
#2. I don't know which one. I want to go short, but I don't want to give up too much in velocity. Can I get some people to post velocity numbers?
#3. The warning "This rifle is designed and intended for use with high quality 7.62x51 NATO ammunition. Commercial ammunition may not function through this rifle based on improper projectile design, weak load, or the lack of a staked primer." concerns me. I am going to b shooting some SA surplus, a good bit of commercial ammo, and my own reloads. How bad is this really?

RE: #3, above ...
I don't think it's "bad" at all; though I suspect this may be one of those standard disclaimers that a manufacturer feels compelled to put out because (a) there is a lot of second-rate surplus 7.62 out there, and (b) they have no control over your load selection, and don't want to be overrun with issues related to the use of sub-standard ammunition. Wilson Combat has done much the same thing in issuing a list of preferred loadings for .45 ACP.
There might also be some component of the .308 WIN versus true 7.62 x 51 NATO spec debate here, as there are pressure and dimensional differences between the two that, while very real, often go unacknowledged. Still, I suspect not -- this disclaimer sounds like more of a heads-up that the rifle won't just doesn't respond well to sub-par ammunition.

If that is the case (and I'm not questioning that it is), then it is pretty ridiculous that they haven't made the necessary changes to get the rifle to a stage of development well past this point.
These kinds of ammunition sensitivities may not reach military users where they live, but the average civilian user is definitely going to turn to commercial ammunition at some point. No wonder the AR-10 hasn't made a stronger showing in the market!

I shot 4 rounds into 1/4" @ 100 yds on wed, then pulled the 5th out 1/4" for an over all 1/2" group. After the 5th round was chambered, my cell rang and I put him on hold, guess I lost my concentration. I was using our 18" Heavy AR-10 with an AAC Cyclone.
Black Hills made this for us at our request, it is very close to M852, my favorite military round in 7.62mm.
Not cheap, but good.

John,
That's great news about the Black Hills Ammo. It's been years since I've seen M852 for sale and I'm half way through my last box - really nice shooting stuff. I guess I'll have to order some from you to try out. Thanks for making this happen.

Why is it limited to only certain ammo? My BM, COBB, DPMS and KAC 308's run fine with all types of ammo. It should still cycle. As for accuracy, that is a diff. topic.

The demand in the past just doesn't seem to have been there enough to develop it past this point.

WOW! That is great, and I'll likely be buying one. Just curious, why not go with SR25 mags?
I have a Noveske Leonidas --Armalite upper/lower. Noveske's work is top notch, mine will shoot std. ammo [Federal 165 Accupoint & TXS] as well as BH/Fed match with no issues.
My favorite rifle by a long shot!

This Noveske continues to impress me.
That may constitute a "perfect day". Nice work. Perhaps you should have bought a lotto ticket on the way home!
I have been looking at the Noveske AR-10 uppers. Does anyone know if you can get it with their new switchblock like the Armalite SASS?

Nope. Not at this point.

A Noveske .308 is definitely on my list. The only problem is the list is so damn full and the fun funds can't seem to keep up with demand.
Very nice rifles posted here.

Been following the thread, and I just want to be clear about the fact that my earlier observation was directed not at Noveske, but at Armalite. If it comes off of John's workbench, then it's a worry-free weapon as far as I'm concerned.

Guys,
For days now I've been trying to view the pics in this thread. Can anyone tell me WHY they won't work for me?
I've been trying to view them since the day the pics were posted in this thread. ??? Thanks so much for any help.

Paul, the pictures work fine for me. It may be your browser. Can you view any of the pictures in the other threads?

Yes, I usually have ZERO problems on this forum, but THESE pics in this thread have never worked
IN FACT, I have noticed that MULTIPLE times I have visited this thread, only to find it screws my computer up, and when I open other threads, I have problems viewing the pics.
This happens ONLY after I've tried to view the pics in this thread. It's almost like this thread is a "virus" to my computer. LOL.
I just cannot figure it out. It's got something to do with those pics Noveske posted, and they way he posted them, it's affecting my PC somehow. ????
Not sure. Every other thread on this forum works great for me, and always has for years now...
Do you have another browser installed on your machine? Or maybe try a different computer.
I'm no IT wiz, but I do know one thing for sure: You are probably saving yourself a LOT of money by not seeing the Noveske porn here!

Paul you may indeed have a virus, but I don't think it came from johns posted pictures, you would have to have downloaded something for that to have happened. Sorry we were unable to help you out.
Double tap on that, 5B. I got the itch for one like this.
