    Default Noveske dealer local?

    Anybody know of a place to get Noveske matched upper/lower combos local? I dont get to the Denver area much so I am not sure where to try?

    You do realize that Noveske does not actually "make" the upper and lower in house.

    He just stamps his logo and a serial number on the side.

    There is about 3 or 4 places in the US that actually manufacture uppers and lowers (other than the machined ones) for the different companies. One day they might make a run of Noveske lowers and the next it might be Armalite or Rock River.

    Noveske does put together nice rifles.

    But if you are looking for anything with Noveske on the side, your paying for a name.

    Yes I do like the name. What would you suggest for the "best"?

    I think the best is an accurate gun that runs.

    JP, Colt, LaRue, Rock River, Noveske and Armalite all turn out good stuff. I have lowers from all these and a few more. I dont think any of them are any better than the other. I have a couple machined lowers and they are all about the same, just with different bells and whistles.

    Spend your money on a good barrel, trigger and glass.

    I thought RRA was considered more lower mid tier? I havent owned one but I have heard alot of mixed reviews.

    What about Stag? Spikes?

    Thanks!

    I'll vouch for Stag since I have 2

    So after more footwork I have a few choices, I really don't want to order and wait even longer. So of these locally available options?

    Saber defense 16" on sale for $990 somthing cheap stock and handguards
    Lmt upper 16" or 14.5" and lmt lower with sopmod/no handguards for $990
    S&w m&p for $750 on sale el cheapo stock/handguards
    Rra for $1k good stock and handguards

    I like the 14.5" lmt upper but not sure how good it would be for a 200yd all around gun?

    I think if it were me I'd jump on the M&P and then put a stock and handguard set you like on it. You'll still be under what the others cost, you'll be able to put the stock/handguards you like on it, and S&W makes good AR's. You could probably put a 4 rail fore-end on it and still be about the same as the others. Just my .02...
