Dream job. Wonder if they need someone to sweep the floors/walk the office mascot. Gotta start somewhere :)

Awesome.

Noveske turns some of the finest rifles in the world. It is cool to see the inside of the factory. Sheri did a good job too! :D

Many thanks to John and MM for giving us a look into how they make such fine weapons.

Quality control is really obvious, it shows in all the things John talks about.

And I love Sheri's comment about the "Noveske Wall of Awesomeness!"

It's a good thing i live on the other side of Oregon from them.
(well not good for me but good for my paid off credit cards.. lol)

I would love a SBR but end up spending the cash on the dumb stuff like food, power bill and insulin. :blink:

Thanks for posting the vid. Entertaining to say the least. It's good to see down to earth folks working at a company like that. I drank the Grants Pass, OR koolaid back in 08 with a full factory N4. My stripped Gen 1 and Gen 2 lowers came in today. The vid was the finishing touch to this lovely day.

That was really cool! Very nice to put a face to the folks who built your rifle/upper. I had my new 16in basic upper with me to point out familiar faces. I think it cried. Cant blame it, Id cry too if i had to leave there. i was thinking of getting a new lower for it, but now I feel like i have to get a noveske lower to compliment it:D Thanks for posting this.

I know how you feel. That's exactly how I ended up with two complete Noveske rifles. Just do it. You know you will

Very cool! Nice facility and it's great to see where/how they assemble our rifles and parts. Also nice to put faces with voices/emails. :)

I thought people here would like this.

It would be cool of they did a video on BCM.

Very cool video. I assume that was John Noveske that did part of the shop narration?

I would be willing to bet that John had nothing to do with the video... he is not much for personal publicity.

Last 3 Noveske rifles I purchased came with the Black Noveske catalog. Am I missing something here? :big_boss:

I think they are just saying that based upon your previous statement:

You don't know what John looks like because he was actually in the video. His pic on Mt. Rainier (?) is also in the catalog.

Think I figured out where I'm going to be getting the upper to go with my stripped Noveske "2nd"*. :)

*I've had this lower for a few months now, and still can't figure out what makes it a 2nd. :confused:

... I did it, well almost. Stock assembly and grip should be here early next week so i can finish building my recently arrived lower. I can make it on hotdogs and mac n cheese for the rest of the month, maybe :suicide2:

Great video. Thanks for posting.

When I was back home for a short vacation I was able to drive up and pick up my rifle in person. With the reputation for quality Noveske has, I invisioned the factory being a way bigger operation, but I was pleasently surprised that it wasn't a huge, sterile factory. Also, everyone there I talked to was awesome to do business with and very helpful.

As if getting a world class rifle wasn't enough, it's nice to know you're doing business with such cool people, and so close to my home at that. I plan on buying again from them soon.
