    They're just shy of $300 over LMT stripped lowers (retail)...

    Seems like a HUGE premium (see below)

    Bravo has more LMT's coming soon and LMT is running a lot of shifts - I'd wait.

    That price is nuts. You still have to add a CH, BCG, BUIS.

    I'm glad I got my LMT for sane prices.

    10.5 N4 basic - $749.00

    FA BCG - $130.00

    CH - $20.00

    troy BUIS - $150.00

    = 1049.00

    compared to the Noveske webpage six months ago for a complete 10.5 N4 basic for $895.00


    $1049.00
    - $895.00
    _______________

    $154.00

    That price is nuts.
    seems reasonable to me considering we're living in a different world compared to six months ago?.

    Bravo has more LMT's coming soon and LMT is running a lot of shifts - I'd wait.
    I am on both lists, ordered one straight from LMT about 2 months ago, sounds like another 6 months is what I've heard from others that also have orders pending.

    I don't know about you but six months is a long time to be fluttering in the political winds of hope and change.

    also on the bravo notify list(which is why I scored a N4 today) for some LMT goodies, problem is that I don't work from a desk so by the time I get to a computer.......suprise, they be gone. lucky for me the NFA stuff usually takes a bit longer to clear out.

    This will be my fourth Noveske so I guess you could say I'm hooked on
    little extra chrome in the barrel

    hahaha, okay you got me on the chrome comment (I was going to edit it but posted from an iPhone!).

    I didn't realize Noveske uppers were so expensive before. To me, from a functional standpoint, I appreciate the technical aspects of what goes into their shorty uppers, but I don't (personally) get the dollar benefit. To me, the LMT is a great package for the price.

    edit\\\ this link is about as technical as one can get for Noveske info - from the Army dust test, the cold hammer forged barrels did last longer, particularly for full auto use...I'd like to know about gas port erosion (if it's an issue before the barrel is shot out).

    I can certainly understand paying for a noveske 10.5 stainless upper. Match grade accuracy in a short bbl.

    I cant really understand paying that kind of crazy money for a Noveske standard upper with a cl bbl. Like others have said, thats a huge premium over the $485 that LMT gets for their 10.5" upper.

    Quick question: If I ordered one, would they send it to me without the proof of the tax stamp? Then, what? Let it sit in the safe til I got the approval?

    My understanding is you can buy any length upper. It's not regulated and does not have serial #'s. Now if you put that upper on a unregistered lower you have just created a Short barrel rifle and is considered illegal. Even if you had the lower and upper seperated and were waiting on the lower to get cleared by the atf for registration it could be considered as "intent to construct".

    Yes because it's perfectly legal to own an AR-15 Pistol (Assuming you have a marked lower).

    You have to take the proper steps to make sure you do not "have the ability to make a short barreled rifle".

    You do not need a "marked' lower for it to be a legal pistol. It is just a nice CYA feature...As long as the lower was never a rifle, it can be a pistol. The marked pistol lower is just to help it not being documented as a rifle as it is sent from the manufacture to you. A stripped lower should of been listed as a 'receiver' when transferred and therefor can be either until the stock is attached. The marking also helps with unknowing local law enforcement issues...but it is not a needed feature to be legal.

    If there is any rebuttal to my comments we should start a new thread so this one does not get off target...I can see that happening
