Hipster music, middle-aged saggy boobs, and shooting from a boat. Yep, that's a noveske propaganda video.

I built my Johnny clone while he was still alive so it's cool.

I bought and sbr'd a gen 1 after he passed so it's trash.

ETA: Noveske still has the best rollmark and their blems are nicer than Colt's over priced non blems.

That's a fair jab. I prefer LMT these days anyway. If the product is good enough and the price fair, it will sell itself.

Yes, there was a time that owning a Noveske was a smart move. I never did and likely never will now.

I have a 16” N4 Light upper and that thing shoots 1.25” 10-shot groups at 100 yards. I like their barrels. Thinking about buying one of their stainless barrels, which I hope have not gone down in quality.

Just saw the video, didn’t think it was that bad. It was more of a “fun” ad/video. Had the video been more about LE/mil/serious civvy use would that have been better for everyone?

Noveske barrels have a good rep but are very expensive.

The ambi bolt release looks like it doesn't hold open, too. The LMT mars, and the LWRC lowers have the bho, too, seems like the way to go.

I think you misunderstand my comment. Those aren't complaints, just statements of fact that each noveske video includes those items.

The ability to buy an all American made PSA with a FN CHF barrel, Toolcraft BCG,  and freefloat MLOK rail for under $600 kinda did that market segment in. Throw in a G trigger and you are still under $1000 for an almost identical feature set.  Tossing in a DA keymo FH and you are still under $1k.

It seems like they are targeting the hipster, antifa, Portland crowd. Which is fine, there is probably room for huge growth in that segment.

But how many of them can actually afford those prices?
