Noveske N4 questions

[pgpd3147]

Ok, I'm new and I don't know what to do.

Do all the current Noveske chrome lined rifles sport an N4 barrel or is the N4 a completely seperate rifle. Thanks in advance.

There's the N4 light which is a tapered medium profile that's the same weight as a Gov't profile and now they have a skinny profile which is what is often referred to as a pencil profile. I believe that unless it says skinny in the description you're looking an N4 profile.

Go to their website and read the description. It says what type of barrel is attached.

[Todd.K]

N4 is the model name of all our AR-15 sized lowers.

Just in case there are any nonbelievers.....

UPS just delivered a 14.5 pinned skinny upper to me yesterday. I haven't fired it yet but it really is a thing of beauty. They are bringing me a 16" lite early next week. I'm broke but happy.

I just talked to a tech at Noveske. He said all of the chrome lined barrels are N4 barrels.

[Todd.K]

All our chrome lined barrels are for the N4/AR-15 sized platform.

Will any other N4s ever be offered with the "skinny profile" barrel beside the MOE model?

yes, http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=r-trsc-556&cat=152&page=1&search=&since=&status=

Ok, now i'm confused again. I'm just trying to see if this upper.... http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=lrv-556&cat=138&page=1&search=&since=&status= ...is as accurate as this... http://www.tactical-life.com/online/guns-and-weapons/noveske-n4-light-556mm/ or are the same thing?

There are two different things in the article; the one you linked to on Noveske's page is the 16" described in the second part of the article; the one described in the beginning of the article is a 10.5" SBR - ie one of these: http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?cat=136. If I'm not completely mistaken they have one of each pictured in the article.

[pgpd3147]

I was talking about the authors 16" that he brought to the course.

[skullworks]

Then I think that's the one you found on their website. You could email Noveske and ask (with a link to the article) just to make sure.

[Todd.K]

It's the same barrel, different rail.

This is the model in the article.

..or wait till Noveske comes to you... :D

[pgpd3147]

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys.

[Skyfire1201]

Is there an N4 skinny in 16" barrel? All the ones I've seen has a 14.5" barrel, and I don't want a pinned FH.

[Todd.K]

There is no Skinny 16" at this time.
