    As for the barrel choice being stainless, it is my opinion that a stainless Noveske barrel is more than capable of handling serious use as long as one does not abuse it by firing heavily in full-auto or suppressed. Noveske stainless barrels are some of the best in the business.

    Yes, the gas system on this barrel is a midlength.
    Winfield I concur with your 100%. I have several Noveske rifles and I have never had a problem with functionality or durability during long hours at the range! Your point is well taken and delivered

While we are always cognizant of the tactical professional, we realize that significant numbers of these rifles will go to folks that never exceed 1500 rounds through the chamber. That's why Omni Guns & Ammo opted for a precision platform. I appreciate your concern, and your concern is validated. However, in these tough economic times, we believed the stainless option is the best platform for our domestic customer base. We will always make special consideration for law enforcement, military, and other unnamed tactical components that require the very best. Thank you for your comments.
    I wasn't complaining so much as questioning, and making an observation, I think most people who even know who Noveske is would be putting enough rounds to make a difference.

    That said, this gun should wear a Schmidt & Bender, as opposed to an Aimpoint, there aren't enough 14.5'' precision guns on the market.

    I appreciate having this option on the market, and I think it's a smart choice.

    Scottryan is correct about the suppressor mount, I'm afraid, but most people won't care, and those that do were probably going to buy an M4-2K anyway, as it's a more flexible can. Others probably already own an M4-2K for an SBR, because IMO/E the M4-2K is a more popular offering, and for those that don't get a suppressor, a brake is more popular, and more effective on a precision gun. I can understand the consumers ''logistics'' even though it's not 100% optimal for this setup.

    But hell, 99% is better than most.
    We miss you, AC.
    We miss you, ToddG.

    Just when I thought my list/wishlist was complete this will be in my safe ASAP I would like to know weather or not I could order it with a Blackout and a UBR or would that slow things down to much?

    At first I thought why not just get a SR-15 after looking at the pictures and realized on the specs it comes with their SS barrel good job guys.

    Shame you're limiting the flash hider/suppressor mount options to AAC.

    There might have been an option at one point to get either barrel, but right now the rifle is being configured with a SS barrel. Either way Noveske assembles it you are getting one of the best rifle manufacturers in the business putting his special touch to it! I have several Noveske rifles in CHF and SS barrels and I enjoy shooting them both equally. Further, thanks for putting that out there regarding the other site.

    i agree with this (not AAC in general, but the brakeout in particular - it's a flash enhancer in my experience) - but otherwise that's a very nice rifle.

    I don't get the sideline snipers sometimes, although I admit I succumb to the urge too from time to time.

    Other than the lower, is there anything proprietary on this rifle? Is there anyone posting in this thread that couldn't otherwise assemble this exact gun themselves while swapping out their "if it only had..." part in the process?

    My "if only..." would be the URXIII

    Very true. The upper could be assembled in any number of configurations from readily available parts, but the fact that it is on top of the FFL lower which isn't currently available, is probably what makes it appealing for those who are interested.

    I am in agreement with you. That configuration is rather nice and it is assembled by one of the best rifle manufacturers in the business.
