View Full Version : Second SBR Build...Which Receivers

I am currently on RA website going back and forth between some receivers that I am going to build into an SBR with form 1. I currently have a pending form 1 on a Mega forged set.

Currently I am between debating over Noveske forged and V Seven forged set. I have always been a Noveske Fanboy for better or worse...but the Noveske receivers are more expensive by only a few bucks but the V Seven set looks sweet with lightening cuts in both the upper and lower.

Do I give into my inner fanboy or try out a V Seven set?

Its all in the eye of the beholder, but I am tearing my hair out trying to chose between...and I can't get both. [crazy]

This post is partly in jest...but I hate these types of decisions!

Well, I broke out my Universal Descision Making Device just to help you out. I only do this in the most dire of circumstances....







Behold its answer.

Heads. VSeven.

Sounds like you're leaning Noveske ;)

Like I said...I am a fanboy. But that V Seven is looking really nice. And...it did win the coin toss.[:D]

You know, there are two things I've learned in life...

Never trust a nickel.
Never defy a quarter.

...

In all seriousness though, if I was in your shoes and looking at the forged lowers/receiver sets as you implied above, I would probably go with the Noveske. It'll match more of what you have (assuming you have Noveske uppers), and will also match the 12:00 rail section of vastly more foreneds. Only V7 rails match the the lightening cuts of their uppers.

If you were looking at the billet options I'd be singing a different song. I think the V7 billet stuff is sexy as hell, and have my own designs on purchasing some in the hopefully not to distant future.

I hear you on the billet receivers. I just think when building an SBR I am better off with forged so it will work with most uppers. I am going to be done with SBR lowers after this one as I will just build uppers after this.

My next billet is going to be a cmt.

I'll make your decision for you. Call SMOS and get your WEVO discount on the whole set. You'll have a receiver that is the Noveske and you'll save oodles.

Better yet, but the set available right now from Pyzik.

I have two VSeven sets. They are cool but not classic. The SMOS/Noveske is classic.

Later you can get the VSeven and build a pistol from it.

Both of my SBR's have LWRC's IC full ambi lowers, they are awesome. If I was to build from scratch it would be A Mega, Grey ghost or the KAC forged. It really comes down to personal preference. After reading about some guys here having issues with the Noveske forged lowers I have to say I am soured towards them. Last I remember the quality and fitment was subpar. Quarters are great for most decisions but one like this requires an ASE!

Or, yeah! You could just do that now that it's been brought up. No one here will judge you if you don't though.

Except all of us. :P ;)

Soooooooooo many good choices out there.

If I could get just one more SBR lower though... I'd probably do a Radian Lower.

Thanks guys but am going with forged. The ultimate classic.

Battle Arms Development lower and a 2A upper......a really nice combination.

Well, for better or worse I just pulled the trigger on the V Seven forged lower. Will be going with the forged upper and probably the 11" V seven rail with a 12.5" CHF Noveske barrel.

I can't deny the quarter....or the Apex pricing...
