    The LMTs have a great reputation for running well.
    We have some up here.

    Any experience with a Noveske barrel? I know they use the same barrel as this, but think they do their own port work. Curious how it compared.

    I have an 11.5 and 14.5 Noveske. They are very sweet. But the quality of other brands, BCM, LMT, FN, have narrowed the delta between them.

    I bought a 14.5 DD while waiting on my Noveske, and it shot 1 inch groups. It was so nice I couldn't ditch it, had to build another.

    If you have the coin, Noveske is great, but I've had the above mentioned barrels shoot sub MOA. In a CL barrel. None of the great stuff is cheap, but buying a quality barrel is HUGE.

    Negative, Ghostrider. I might have gone with a Noveske if those clowns had any Barrels only...

    That's the trick... finding dealers who are willing to sell you a barrel with an FSB.... BUT without the whole product line already attached to it is a MoFo.

    Can you explain "smoother"?

    Yeah... the 11.5 just popped in your shoulder like you were shooting more than a 5.56.

    Just bucked like a little mule. Pappabear and I could both feel a dramatic reduction in recoil... and the 11.5 has an RMC (mini comp) on it.

    The 10.5 went on the exact same lower/buffer system that the 11.5 was running.
