View Full Version : Noveske Crusader
I just finished this build for a customer and must say that I like the 12.5 barrel length a lot. The new DD 10.0 lite rail works well with this barrel as well.

SPECS:
Noveske 12.5 SS Crusader
VLTOR MUR
DD 10.0 Lite Rail
VLTOR gas block
Noveske KX3

I do believe it is a sign!

Wow, that is one nice upper.
Those new DD rails are sweet.
Okay so are you going to have these? I know I've asked before over at 10-8?
I have exactly the same build coming up but with a Larue 9.0 and CMT upper. The MUR sure is growing on me!

I do have these in stock, along with the VLTOR MUR, DD and LT rails!

Is that rail the $400-500 offering from DD? How do you compare them to the Larues? I really like that continuous top rail!

MAP on that rail is $365. I do offer a package deal on builds. Price on that upper is around $1,144.00.

Grant,
How do you like the DD rails compared to the Larue? Does Larue have any plans to do anything similar with a continuous top rail?

Well, both rails are excellent and both are anti-rotational. The DD gives you the continous rail look. LT also does not offer a 10.0 rail at this time. I don't think LT will offer the continous type rail any time soon.

Wow, Grant, just wow.
A 12.5 Crusader MUR SBR upper will be my next build.
Now I just have to decide do I get a barrel contoured for the OPS brake and Collar for a 12th Suppressor or just mount a BiLock and go with my Specwar 2?
And what rail?
Decisions, Decisions!

What is the total barrel length with the Noveske KX3 soldered? Under 16"?

Under 16". Noveske makes the 13.whatever for use with the KX3.

13.7" Ken.

So how much for the 13.7" config.

Yes that is the lower I was talking about.
I've been lusting after a Crusader for a while now... What's been the feedback on the 12.5" vs. the 10.5"? I had the pleasure of playing with a 10.5" a few weeks back, but have yet to get my hands on the 12.5".

What I have seen with the builds I have done, is that this barrel length is a good idea. It is still compact, but has the better FPS for longer fragmentation.

I have the feeling I'm going to eventually skip right past the Crusader and move to something stupidly short, and a twin with a 16" instead...we'll see.
Just when I have all but decided to go with a BCM build you go and post pictures and a build like that. How much would a Crusader, MUR, Lite 10.0 and Surefire 556-212A spec'd upper run me? Dang that's nice.

You are looking at about $983.

Oh dang! Well, I will be back shortly from the desert and think this could be my welcome home present to myself. Thanks for the info Grant. :D
That is a nice upper Grant. :D
With your help I built this upper. The only difference I went with 11" LaRue and Vltor V1C.

Is it just me or does DD change the way they drill their Lite rails all the time?
I have 2 12.0 lite rails that have all four sides drilled, a 10.0 that has the top and sides drilled, and it appears in the pictures that grant posted that his rail has the holes through the top and bottom and the side rails are solid....
Weird.
BTW very nice upper Grant!
Cameron
i'm only aware of the one recent change... keep in mind that this thread was revived from 2006.

Grant,
I noticed in your pics of the Crusader SS bbl, that the Noveske etching/lettering on the bbl still shows through the Gunkote.
I would not think this would have been the case.
That is cool, and almost makes me want to attempt to Gunkote some uppers/rails I have, which I have left "as-is", because I didn't want to lose the nice white laser etched words/logos on them.
Does this mean the white laser etching on something like a KAC URX rail, or something like the white etching on a VLTOR MUR would still show through a Gunkote finish, just as was the case on the bbl you have pic'd?

It all depends on how heavily you put the paint on.

Absolutely terrific barrel.

Is that a LaRue 9" rail and an AAC M4/SPR? Thanks
It's a LaRue 10", and an AAC M4-2000.
I may try the new Troy TRX Extreme 11" on it if the weight savings vs the LaRue are significant. It's a pretty stout barrel for an SBR.
That is a nice upper Grant. :D

If only Michigan allowed SBRs...
