If Mr. Noveske started his company today and someone said he possibly builds the best carbine available for the money (from mostly non-proprietary parts), I would expect that he would explain how he puts off the shelf parts together that is different and sets his rifles apart. Lot's of attention to detail comments, no explanation on the actual difference.
With top quality, in-spec parts, how hard is it to properly install a barrel? A castle nut? A FCG, selector, take down/pivot pins?
It's not like installing a mil spec barrel nut is difficult, but new rail designs with barrel nuts that don't require alignment for the gas tube have made it easier than ever.
Here's how I divide the crowd:
1. Those claiming that a rifle with common parts and "hand selected springs and detents" is possibly the best carbine available for the money.
2. Those who say, hey, those are common parts that anyone can get. Please explain what is different about how you put them together so that it would cause me to be interested in the product.
3. Those who know the company owner and want to vouch for him (understandably), but still don't provide any real answers about why the rifle is different.
The porn star discussion is just stupid. Group #2 is still waiting for 1 and 3 to give some real examples of what about this rifle is different.

Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.
