VTAC/ Noveske Combat Carbine

[Stickman]

The first thing that leapt out at me as I unwrapped the carbine was the "VIKING TACTICS" logo across the back of the upper receiver. I know that some will find this less than tactical, but if your bad guy is close enough that he is reading the lettering on your upper receiver, you've got enough other problems that the logo is going to be the least of them. While subjective, the logo was something that didn't appear out of place to me. If nothing else, that "VIKING TACTICS" logo lets you know that its an original piece, and not something that someone else slapped together.

The upper receiver is a dead match in color and texture for its lower receiver sibling, and includes well laid out M4 feedramps. The charging handle was solid, and free of any unwelcome flex without extreme pressure being applied. This is a little thing, but to me, a cheap charging handle does little to inspire confidence in a weapon. All AR15s should come with solid parts like this to prevent continual upgrades while still fresh out of the box.
