I've been a proud owner of a Noveske N4 Carbine (14.5" w pinned vortex) for a little over a year now. During this time I've made a few modifications in the following order

Fiber Optic Red Front Sight post
Magpul Enhanced trigger guard
Magpul MIAD with B2 backstrap
Magpul MOE stock
DD Omega 7 Rail System
ACOG TA31F

Also has a Bullet Button and 10 round C-Products magazine to make this rifle legal for CA.

The N4 was cleaned after every range session with MPro7, bore snake and chamber stars and relubed with Weapon Shield CLP. I have fired about 1200 rounds combined of PMC Bronze, 5.56 Surplus, Q1313 or Q3131 (Always mix that one up) Privi 62 Gr and TAP 75GR. Additionally its fired over 500 rounds of .22LR through my 22 conversion kit using metal and Black Dog Machine Magazines. (The kit did have failures after the false chamber got gummed up with too much waxy material from shooting Remington Gold bullets. This was resolved by cleaning out the chamber on the kit, a little polish and switching to CCI Blazer)

1200 rounds isn't much in a year compared to what some folks shoot in a day or a weekend but for a range rifle I am pretty happy with it.

The rifle has experience ZERO malfunctions and only suffered a few failure to feeds with the .22LR conversion kit (stated above)

I can report the same with my N4 Recce - over 1000 rounds since I bought it in March. No hiccups whatsoever.

i've shot 3 tactical rifle matches with my noveske/magpul since december, and have probably 700 rnds total on it. it has never failed to fire, but the bolt only locks back on the last round about half the time with m193 ammo

My N4 Lite Recce Basic Upper and N4 Carbine have both been 100% reliable. Crazy accurate too.

thanks for info! How does she shoot with that Acog? Any chance of photos of your setup?

I am partially finished with the same setup only planning on an Aimpoint M4s or T1 and I'm using all FDE accessories.

No photos of the current set up as of now but I will be getting some soon!

The N4 shoots great with the ACOG. Its mounted with the stock Trijicon mount. Last week I was able to hit steel plates at 400 yards with no problem using PMC Bronze ammo. I am very happy with that set up. The BDC makes it easy. Pushing 500 meters shots at the steel rams was a bit tough.

I'm really curious to find out just how accurate my N4 is. :confused:

Hey, nice to see a fellow Californian on the board! You aren't a Calgunner too, perchance?

Beautiful rifle, 45r. I am also very curious to see what kinda groups it gets, particularly when you use the ACOG.

All best,
Nic
