    Exclamation Noveske N4 Light Carbine

    That is a sweet looking AR. I am sure it will keep up with and surpass a Colt, which is what I think it is designed to compete with.

    LMT is also selling complete weapons, so both LMT and Colt bring strong contenders to the table.

    The Noveske is more money, but when you figure the extras like the Troy Battle Sight/ BUIS, TD Grip, and Vltor stock, the scale tilts in the favor of Noveske in my opinion. The Noveske barrel along would be a massive selling point in my mind.

    I've got a complete review of the Noveske N-4 coming up in the next few days, I think you should enjoy it.

    I agree the Noveske is great for the money. Not that I've gotten my hands on it but when you start adding all the accessories it seems like a good deal. Look fwd. to that review Stick.

    The attention to detail by Noveske is really second to none. The proper staking of BCGs & Buffer tube is one example of many. I heard they are going to be offering these barrels as a separate sale item. That's also going to open up some avenues for other custom builds.

    One thing I noticed which others on other sites have pointed out is the iron cross logo that crosses the gap between the upper and lower...pretty damn innovative and not to mention you truly know you're getting a complete rifle. I could see some problems if a user was selling a rifle claiming it to be the new Noveske and the iron cross on the upper and lower will definitely show that.

    There seems to be a lot of people building "custom" AR15s. Some of these builders are companies that are squared away, and are truly concerned that their products are top notch, and that only highly capable weapon systems and components depart their shops. Sadly, this isn't the case with everyone, and its not uncommon to see misrepresented AR15s at gunshows, or being sold online.

    With Noveske marking their complete weapons, they retain the ability to quickly call out those people who have a cobbled together weapon, as opposed to those who are running a factory weapon.

    I think this may become something that other companies start doing in an effort to identify their factory weapons as well.

    Just like Sabre Defence. They only sell their cool Thunder Cats logo lowers with complete rifles. Not to say that one could buy the complete rifle and then part it out but at least they try. from my understanding they also have Sabre marked uppers that they will only sell with complete rifles.

    There are places that are more than happy to part out a complete weapon so they can make more money on it. It was real popular during the AWB with Colts.

    Just makes me cringe at the thought of ppl buying a rifle that they think is one thing and a vendor hacked it up and threw it back together w/ others. I know this goes on a lot at the gun shows. And damn I love the internet for all the online REAL NO BS vendors.

    Reminds me of a friend that bought a RRA rifle off of gunBroker. RRA lower with a M1S upper. At least he paid a decent price for it. And Stick, I still see people willing to pay premium prices for Colt lowers.

    That does look like a very nice weapon, and I would definitely like to see a lot more on the barrel itself. Stickman, do you know if said barrel is another new offering to the already great Noveske barrel lineup, or is it one that he already offers?

    It is a new barrel, with a new profile, different steel (using M249 steel), and new chrome lining than anyone else (double thickness similar to the M249).

    The Noveske SS barrels are already known for a high level of accuracy. I think this one is going to be known for being able to take high levels of abuse.

    I'm currently working on a full review and write up of the Noveske N4 Light carbine. Its going to end up being fairly lengthy, but hopefully it will answer some questions and shed some insight.


    14.5" Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, 1 in 7" twist, 5.56mm
    --Made of Mil Spec M249 Machine Gun barrel steel, with heavy M249 Chrome Lining,
    (appx. 2 times as thick as an M4 or M16)
    --Extended Feed Ramps
    --Mil Spec Phosphate finish
    --Same weight as M4 barrel, 1 lb, 9 oz, but improved contour for maximum
    rigidity, no M203 notch
    --MP HP tested with certification
    --Carbine length gas system

    Nice review buddy, I'm anxious to see what else you've got lined up.

    Stick, can you see/describe the barrel profile? Is it thinner in front or behind the gas block? Same thickness both sides?
    Great review, convinced me.
