Another kick in the groin for MA: no free lowers from Noveske :(

[Mass-diver]

In an effort to waste all my grad school loan money (and erase any doubt that my financial future is going to be very gloomy), I've been toying with the idea of buying a noveske upper. I've always wanted one and while I love my new sig 556, I feel like I may need one more toy to hold me over for bit.

So, I see noveske has a October promo: free stripped lower with the purchase of any rifle, or upper - but it doesn't apply to MA

Just another small example of how incredibly painful it is to live in this state and be a gun owner.

Well that @&^#!%* blows!

 

[atilla]

did they say why? is it just because they hate us?

 

[Skald]

Well, how bad you want the lower?

 

[hminsky]

It's their way of putting pressure on the MA legislature and politicians. They know that all of our state reps and people in the AG office really want to get good deals on their semi auto rifles, and if they find can't get them, it will help with easing up on the regulations.

Not very bad, it's just the principle

Ahhh. Just asking.

WTF?!?!?!

My guess is that they are afraid that people will assemble postban AR's in MA with their uppers and lowers. Most of the hi brow vendors like Noveske
probably don't sell crippled uppers anymore.

I would call her on it, both the supposed law, and her spelling.

Really ?

Do you use the same barrels as Noveske ?

ditto, that's one of the main draws to noveske (for me at least)

 

[JonJ]

How did this go from a Noveske thread to a Remsport thread?

 

[FalArAk]

The same way just about every thread involving building an AR or buying parts for an AR does.

Although I am curious as to how Remsport can build a rifle the same quality as a Noveske.

I would like to see the breakdown of parts and who manufactures them for Remsport,specifically how their 14.5" barrel compares to a Noveske Afghan 14.5" barrel.

And then we can tackle the resale value

You have to admit,Remsport made a very bold statement.

 

[Skald]

Maybe grab the Noveske barrel and then see if Remsport would build an upper around all that. I'm not sure what Remsport uses for their barrels but Noveske barrels are made of Mil Spec M249 Machine Gun barrel steel, with heavy M249 Chrome Lining, and ream their upper with their own chamber spec (5.56 Noveske Match Mod 0 chamber).

Also not sure what the twist rate is, but a lot of the mil-spec stuff 1/7.

Check out Superior Barrels. Outstanding craftsmanship. SS with a proprietary Hard Blue coating. Lothar Walther blanks. Haven't shot mine yet, but I have high expectations.

Could you have a NH gun store order it for you?

Supposedly Centurion Arms uses the same barrels as what is found in the MK12.

I'm about wrapped up on AR's anyway, but would love to have a Noveske....The only solution is to get the hell out of here....It's too bad about Noveske. I wish they based their decision on some sort of facts - it's a shame such a nice gun maker is so loopy...Buy a LaRue....
