Ours stays exclusive and maintains desirability.

Nigo from the Bathing Ape uses a similar sales strategy.

I've studied in some business classes where some companies that have adequate funds will hold back when the market is saturated. Supposedly this strategy builds demand for their product. It also lets the other companies to draw the fire and kill themselves off.

Absolutely correct. That is savvy (albeit risky) sense if you have the financial fortitude to do so


Can't believe it's been two years already

It's a popular and very expensive Japanese clothing company. I used to design apparel and gear for some MMA companies, so I've researched a lot of brands.

You know, when Gen III receivers were released, they sold out pretty fast, despite their high cost and market saturation. I think the smart money would have been to continue releasing product at a slower rate, if indeed they were holding back their funds during this period.... but then again, I didn't study business.

Serious question to guys in the know, with the key people at Noveske having moved on (V7, Era etc..) is Noveske on the decline? Like i said previously, they were THE pinnacle, now just kinda overpriced "me too'rs"… thoughts?

(PS. No way am I disrespecting John, his company, or legacy, just a concerned Noveske lover)

i'm not "in the know" but with the products that the company has been putting out since his passing, i don't see the overpriced "me too" fitting. still the same great barrels, the gen 3 line of stuff is great. multiple new rail offerings. and more in house production. i see the cerakote gen 3 line as being a huge improvement (just hope they they decide to offer more colors in the future). they did seem to have a few warts to fix during the gen 2 - gen 3 migration timeframe but they are constantly putting out a great product from everything of theirs i've had my hands on.

Besides for a lower, I own a complete Noveske. Like I said. They are the pinnacle of AR15's in my humble opinion (or at least on par with KAC and BCM) but dripping with much more sex appeal. I love noveske. Actually in fact I'm wearing one of their tshirts right now.

What my question was, with John and the og's all but gone where is Noveske heading? I ask this as a concerned lover of the brand. Maybe my fanboy didn't come out strong enough lol
