It kinda makes you think that maybe they are doing things right...

    Thanks for taking the time to post all of that. Very informative.

    Can you expand on your last statement or is that not public intel?

    I never found their stuff g2g when John WAS alive. Catchy branding and carefully controlled demos, coupled with John being one of the good guys.

    Ehhh, I'm not sure how public it is as it was relayed to me directly and not stuff I read online or anything, so I'm going to have to stay on the silent side unless more info comes out.

    Odd, you are the only person I've ever heard of to comment anything even close to the above. Are you able to list a few of the "carefully controlled demos"? I don't recall any off hand, but it isn't like I know everything.

    I own a bunch of Noveske rifles from Gen 1-3 and they've all been super accurate and reliable. Since 07 to recently getting another 14.5 afghan upper. They had a good formula that a bunch of the new and up coming companies have been able to follow and improve upon with there own twist. There's so many options now at a cheaper price point that you can choose to your liking. Noveske seems to now cater to those that wan't a rifle that looks really good at a premium price. Not much has changed in terms of how they function other than added ambi features.

    Thats true to some degree

    I learned a long time ago that Noveske really doesn't manufacture anything, they simply "finish" parts from other suppliers. Which is what I would do if I got into this business. Noveske from what I know, got in to this business and collaborated with a lot of manufactures like Pacnor, LMT, Vltor and Troy to produce a top of the line AR. They were quick to implement keymod rails as well as 300blk rifles when they first came out. There was a time where they were in my opinion, ahead of the game.

    To me, its like Noveske built a lifestyle AR-15. Its like they are saying, "hey, if your going to own and AR, own a Noveske". They dont push the tactical lifestyle on you or the operator lifestyle like other companies do. They have long haired dudes wearing Vans and women wearing flip flops marketing $2700 AR's.

    Exactly, and former Noveske employees went on to form a lifestyle company. It was a super effective marketing machine, and kudos.

    Lifestyle aside, what did you find not to be "g2g" about Noveske?

    That’s pretty cool.

    It’s nice to see people wearing normal clothes and not Vertx over some Salomons

    Personally I don't see the appeal for $28 trucker hats and T-shirts. Is the logo that cool?

    I guess I expected more given their mission statement.

    Am I missing something?
