    It's also nice to see your non-typical looking, non SEAL larpers into shooting.

    They definitely target the younger 2A crwod in their videos and ads, which I am completely fine with,
    98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.

    They were the tip of the spear for hipster gun enthusiasts. Toss me another IPA will ya?

    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.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. Certainly not a common experience, but I don't think anyone has ever had everything be perfect.

    Yeah, the only people who have never had a product issue are the ones who never sold anything.

    Easy to do from the cheap, consumer only seats.
