98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.
Everyone is so concerned with labeling things these days.
I had 2 Noveske rifles. Both made while John was at the Helm. One was alright, no issues except a very aggressive use of the welder, and lack of using surefire spacer for the pinned MD, but...the other...
-8moa poi shift with known good can and multiple mounts. Surefire T&Ed and gauged the upper and could not figure out wtf.
-overgassed to the point of malfunction with a surefire 556-212 using even h3 and blue sprinco
-feed ramps shaved brass and snagged cartridges multiple times per mag, bending them like bananas.
- lower was out of spec and would not accept milspec uppers (factory sbr gen 2), DD tried to hand pick me an upper. Gave up after 8 wouldnt fit and they gauged it to be out of spec.
Noveske finally just wrote me a check for that gun and took it back. We cool, but even John era guns had issues, ime
Had an out of spec lower as well, a Gen 2 chainsaw lower where no upper would fit, sent it in with the Noveske stripped upper I had for it, they replaced it as a matched set. No other issue and it has still been my go to rifle since. Just had the barrel tapered for a Q Cherry Bomb. I would absolutely agree Noveske barrels are/were overgassed, but at least there are more options to remedy that nowadays(not an excuse), I just added a .0625 BRT tube.
