Noveske Rifleworks is continuing their tradition of engraving their logo into complete weapons. Since the uppers will be available as a stand alone item, this makes complete sense. For those people who are unfamiliar with the marking, the below picture illustrates that the logo is split half way between the upper and lower receiver. With this feature in place, there is no doubt as to whether the weapon you are holding left the factory as a complete weapon or not.
Here are the listed specifications taken off the Noveske Rifleworks website.

On a side note, I feel its worth listing the information for both Kyle Lamb, and Chris Costa. Those in MIL and LEO positions who are looking for high quality training would be well served by both instructors, and those they work with.

I'll end with saying that my time spent with these weapons was brief, but the newest variant of the N4 carbine should more than hold its own in the same manner of its N4 siblings.
Pictured below is a VTAC/ Noveske with American Defense MFG Recon Mount, Trijicon Accupoint, and Magpul 20 round PMAG.
Here is the 16" VTAC/ Noveske midlength upper on a Magpul billet lower, Magpul 30 round TMAG, Magpul MIAD pistol grip, and Magpul UBR stock. The Eotech is a 552 with GG&G Accucam.
I had the chance to take several classes from Viking Tactical and meet with (RET) USA SGM Kyle Lamb. Kyle's real world experience and knowledge lend to the design of the Noveske VTAC.Kyle's lessons from the tactical carbine class and offerring his own VTAC AR for students to use made true believers out of many of us.
Most of us knew of the Noveske AR rifles but when teamed up with Viking Tactical, it was a no brainier. A Sgt and an Officer I worked with ordered one. I will get some trigger time and photos later. Needless to say, the one we shoot at his class was hard to give back. The Noveske/Viking Tactical AR is one I am working at to buy this year.
