    Had similar with a fellow at the range I went to. Everyone around were looking in "awe" thinking that's too cool.

    Same experience at said range, and this fellow had a bull barrel, but it appears that he had "issues" with said rifle, because he kept on taking it down for cleaning after every single shot.

    Seems like only one individual "knew" or "heard" of Noveske, as I over heard him saying that he took a barrel from a Noveske upper for his next project gun.

    A sad, but accurate observation.

    Haha, that reminds me. When I unloaded my RRA, the guy pulled out the BCG to inspect it and make sure it was in good shape. He spent about 2-3 minutes trying to put it back (even taking the charging handle off and trying to put the BCG in first) before asking me "is this thing broke or something?" I politely reached forward, slid the bolt forward so the cam pin wasn't in the way, and said, "try it now."

    It's entirely possible it was a brain fart moment that every one of us has from time to time but he looked perplexed that what I did worked which makes me think he is the kind of guy who sprays WD-40 in their guns and says, "There. Clean."

    If you think Noveske isn't well know, you should try Geissele. The guy next to me at the range wanted shoot my gun. After he shot it, he said, "boy that trigger sure has a lot of creep compared to my Timney." I tried to explain that it was a two stage trigger (Geissele DMR).

    Just remember it cuts both ways. 75% of my customers think DPMS or Bushmaster are the best/only brands to have. Mention Noveske,BCM, Larue to them and you may as well be speaking Swahili, Oh, and Colt is made by Olympic.

    most folks haven't heard of koenigsegg sports cars or turner mountain bikes either, doesn't mean they aren't amazing products.

    The local Sheriff Dept. opens their range to the public twice a month. The SWAT guys run it and I've become friends with most of them. They knew I was getting rid of two AR's to buy a new one, so when I got there they came around to see what I had. None of them had ever heard of Noveske. They shoot RRA's and were polite but I guess it's old hat to them.

    Then, a couple of "bubba's" saw the deputies looking at my gun, so they brought their DPMS's over to show the deputies. The "bubba's" had some bling-bling on their guns and I think the deputies actually liked the "bling-blings" more. The "bubba's" politely asked me what brand mine was and after I told them Noveske, one "bubba" said, "Huh...I guess anybody can make an AR these days!" and the other one said, "Man, you should have read more about AR's and got you a DPMS!"

    I just smiled and went back to my bench.

    Just sounds like a benchrest shooter doing an extended barrel break in.

    That's hilarious, and sad.

    I got to talking with one of the contracted mechanics the other day and he started telling me all about his amazing AR... "it's a DPMS with a bull barrel and a green tactical laser blah blah blah." I mentioned Noveske's barrels and he had no idea what I was talking about. I guess it's a bit of a niche company for guys that are really into AR's and don't mind paying for quality.
