Pics of Noveske N4 Light groups?

[urbankaos04]

So, what are you guys with Noveske N4 Light uppers getting at 100 yards? Just curious. Hopefully, they're at LEAST 5 shot groups, 10 shots preferred. Thanks.

no 100yd data, but I shot the following today @ 50yds... N4 light basic 14.5" w/pinned SF 556-212A and MBUS rear sight:

Using my Noveske N4 light basic with an Aimpoint the best I got at 50 yards, 5 shots from the bench, was about an inch with various loads. Sometimes it ran 1.5"-2".

With the same gun I managed groups from 2.0"-3.5" at 100 yards with an Acog with the chevron. Usually they were in the 2.0"-3.0" range.

Accuracy Evaluation of 16” and 14.5” Novekse N4 Barrels


The Noveske N4 barrels are some of the most consistently accurate chrome lined, NATO chambered AR-15 barrels (of the same weight as equivalent length government profile barrels) currently on the market. However, they are not match-grade barrels by any stretch of the imagination (nor are they intended to be.) The following data shows the results of formal accuracy testing of both a 16” and a 14.5” Noveske N4 barrel from a distance of 100 yards. Both barrels were free-floated and the same lower was used for testing both uppers. The same match-grade, hand-loaded ammunition was used for each barrel and the testing was performed under as close to the same conditions as was reasonably possible.

I performed an accuracy evaluation of my Noveske 16” N4 Light Recce upper following my usual protocol. Testing was performed from a distance of 100 yards. Firing was conducted from a concrete bench with the free-float handguard resting in a Sinclair Bench Rest. The rear stock of the rifle rested in a Protektor bunny-ear bag. Wind conditions were monitored using a Wind Probe. A Leupold VARI-X III set at 25X magnification and adjusted to be parallax free at 100 yards was used for sighting.

Using hand-loaded, match grade ammunition I fired three, 10-shot groups in a row. The extreme spreads of those groups measured:

1.29”
1.18”
1.31”

for a 10-shot average extreme spread of 1.26”. I over-layed those three groups on each other using RSI Shooting Lab to form a 30-shot composite group. The mean radius for the composite group was 0.37”.

After firing the above three groups, I fired an additional five, 10-shot groups in a row using the same set-up for a total of eight, 10-shot groups. The average extreme spread for all eight groups was 1.24”. I over-layed all eight groups on each using RSI Shooting Lab to form an 80-shot composite group. The mean radius for that composite group was 0.39”.

The 14.5” N4 barrel was tested in the same manner as described above. Three 10-shot groups fired from 100 yards using match grade hand-loads had extreme spreads of:

1.029”
1.360”
1.275”

for a 10-shot group average of 1.22”. As above, I over-layed the three 10-shot groups on each other using RSI Shooting lab to form a 30-shot composite group. The mean radius for that composite group was 0.37”.

Thx Molon.

Could you tell us anything more about the ammo you used?
