I know Noveske offers one, but they don't sell their N4 light barrel separately. What other company's make a 14.5" barrel without the notches?

The most recent 14.5 to catch my eye is the Sabre Defence 14.5 middy.

The only downside is that the FH is permed to the barrel. Talonarms.com is the only site that I've seen this upper half specifically listed so far.

Why the no notch requirement?

Eh, not a requirement, just a preference. Fell in love with the Noveske rifles and the overall clean look of not having notches. Don't get me wrong, I like either design, I just figure I'll put the extra effort into finding and building what I want. Small detail, but it matters to me, ya know?

I believe Noveske sells 14.5 mid-length stainless steel barrels.

Some companies offer N4 barrels in their builds.

IIRC Denny's operator barrels don't have the notch. And someone already said some companies offer the Noveske N4 barrels on custom uppers. Grant does and I think MSTN does as well. I know what you are going through since I've been trying to find a barrel with very specific specs and it seems no one is doing them that way. Good luck man

^and i believe his is 14.7", which allows you to pin on a cheapo a2 flash hider to get to 16"

CMMG does their gov profile and light weight barrels in 14.5 both available as a middy or carbine gas system.
