I am making no claims the LaRue lower is forged and or better than the Noveske lower. I wish the Larue stuff was forged too. Lower to lower I like the Noveske better with the magwell, its just not that special. KAC is the company that really came to market with an innovative lower.
I am saying that the ways the LaRue rail/upper interfaces are above and beyond more innovative than the Noveske.
The MUR upper is a rebranded Vltor piece, I would consider Vltor to have brought many innovative items to market. MUR, VIS, A5 system, ect.
Keymod is neat, but not my cup of tea. I never see myself with one. The NSR however other than the keymod is not impressive, ultimately its quite simple in design and not really anything new.
Quite frankly I think the KX3 is stupid, for the length added you could have a 12.5" barrel, a ton more velocity that comes with it and the operating issues of the 10.3" fixed. Its also not a new idea, its just an adaptation of the Krinkov muzzle device.
Here's my issue a basic Noveske gen 1 is 1730$, there absolutely nothing that justifies it being more than 1250$
http://shopnoveske.com/collections/r...ce-basic-rifle it offers nothing a BCM from grant would offer for 1212$ when I put it all in a cart. Same setup but with moe handgaurd, still has forged barrel.
But heres the kicker this is what 1682$ gets you from LaRue,
http://www.laruetactical.com/16”-lar...l-predatar-556 it offer MORE than this similar 2575$ rifle from Noveske

That 900$ difference is nothing but a solid F-you to the customer. Enough of an F-you I don't see myself buying any more Noveske products in the future. I just can't bring myself to support that sort of behavior.
As some one else said in this thread their rifles are back ordered, so basic economics would indicate people are more than willing to pay these prices. But as many other threads on this forum will indicate people will pay stupid prices for stupid shit all day long. A sucker is born everyday. At this point I would consider anyone who shells out the cash for one of these to be a sucker, they could have bought an equal or better rifle, plus an optic, sling and mags for that price.
