I'll add my recent experience with Noveske. Less than a year ago I was in the market for a 13.7" barrel, and Noveske's CHF model fit the bill. I'm running an A5H2 buffer and I'm left-handed; it doesn't seem over-gassed to me but I'm not running a suppressor either. I wish I had measured the port before installing the gas block; I have no desire to unpin to measure it now.
I got a great deal on the barrel so the price wasn't an issue for me. Whether or not the value is there for a full-priced upper or rifle from Noveske is a personal thing. I can say that when funds allow, I will be picking up a 14.5" Afghan barrel to build another upper.
I should also note that my 13.7" is a hell of a shooter, far more accurate than I am capable of taking advantage of.
Thanks for telling.
I'm interested in anyone else who's bought a Noveske rifle/barrel lately too. I don't have my mind made up on the Noveske yet. It's between that, an LMT, or a Daniel Defense. I already have a BCM Mid 16, a Midwest Industries GI Carbine, and 1 home build consisting mostly of Radian, BCM, and VLTOR parts. They all have served me well over thousands of rounds, especially the BCM... but I'm lusting for something more high end.
Noveske now is not the Noveske of old, but if for some odd reason you had any problems, they will still take care of you.
If you have wanted a Noveske, it seems like its the right time for you to get one.
