New Noveske light shorty issues

[Realfknnato]

Bought a Noveske light shorty 10.5 CHF. Had a class past weekend shooting suppressed. First problem happened 100 rounds in. Had a failure to feed. bolt ran over brass half way. I put a lot of lube in it and was good till last drill I had a stove pipe with new round being half picked up. The ammo was IMI nato spec (people told me it was higher pressure). When I’m shooting non suppressed it’s at 2oclock .. suppressed is 1:30 ejection pattern. Suppressor is SANDMAN S 30cal endcap …I ordered a blue sprinco spring for it but I think it was the ammo. Any thoughts by you guys?

Can you swap the gas tube for a BRT one? I'd get the gas corrected before I started increasing the spring strength.

I could but it’s a factory gun and I didn’t want to rip it apart. Thought changing the spring would be a quick fix

If it's dedicated suppressed, I'd definitely go this route:

As is, it sounds overgassed, and leveling up springs and buffers is mostly a bandaid. It'll still be overgassed even if you get the action controlled with heavier springs and buffers. That doesn't mean you can't experiment, just food for thought.

I was reading that thread of brt. People saying the gas tubes only last 5K rounds? I’m going to out shoot it in 6 months

A minimum of 5k. The test gt referenced was shot 5k, mostly suppressed, and then inspected, iirc. I'd just buy two or three and change them out when it gets to the point they need to be changed. The barrel will be toast, and you can replace it with a barrel gassed correctly for your application. If you're shooting a case monthly, the price of the tubes is an afterthought, esp in the scheme of maintenance, ammo costs, etc.

They are wide reports of Noveske being overgassed. I have not read reports of that ever being changed.

Considering what your ammo budget is I'd buy a second upper for the gun with a correct gas port for your application (not another noveske upper unless it has their switch block deal.


A last consideration is send it back to noveske under warrenty and then bicker with them until they send you back a gun with a switch block on it. It is their only avenue to fix your gun as all their barrels will be overgassed.

Yup, Noveskes have always been over gassed in my experience. Kind of crazy that their CS is telling a customer to put an adjustable gas block on just to get reliable function with a can.

2700 dollar gun… yup it’s overgassed put a different gas block on it. Like wtf if I wanted to build a gun I would have.. I watched Jim goon life or whatever YouTube video before I bought it. He had perfect ejection pattern 3-4oclock with a suppressor and without.. If I could I would return it and buy 2 BCM 11.5 lol
