12.5" midlength with the Vltor A5 would be a smooth system. If we have to wait for them, so be it. I'll gladly wait for them to fulfill their other projects if it guarantees there will be this one in the pipeline.
Great review as always. Hope they start production of a 12.5 soon. Love mine Type A 12.5 and I have it set up similar to how you set up your 12.5. Look forward to that review and thanks for the info on the Noveske. Love the swimwear little man.
The argument for steel case is that the money that you would save would be more than the price of a new barrel which would eventually happen for brass case anyway so it kinda evens out except you can get more training in. I personally run brass everything, but it's a fairly valid argument and if it means someone can X amount of more reps in at every range day, it's probably worth it, training trumps gear.
I may be weird but if I have a 4150 qpq for chrome lined barrel, bimetal bullets are fine. If I’m running a uncoated SS barrel I try n avoid bi-metal projectiles.
Been running a noveske 12.5 since the nsr was keymod. It's chugged along without skipping a beat. Will be getting a refresh soon with a gen 4 lower and a barrel chop to 10.5 🙌
Alot of people chase that tiny gas port but i prefer a bcm gassing…its soft still, very nice recoil but reliable enough to eat steel cased no issue. Reliability to me is the most important thing
I have a 10.5 noveske cqb barrel in a 6.8spc that is sub-moa. I only have about 100 rounds through it because 6.8spc is hard to find. But noveske barrels are absolutely hammers.
I’ve been running a Gen 1 Mid-Length since 2011. I was turned on to Noveske from retired SF guy. It was nice meeting Jim and the gents from Noveske back in May.
Damn it bro... I been running the trigger tech safeties for like 3 years! They were my little secret. Now everyone and their mama is going to be running them
I just finished putting together my ZEV upper and lower receiver with a 16" CHF chrome lined Noveske barrel and it's shooting half moa with my hand loaded 77gr OTM's. With the 62gr green tip it's holding one moa all day long. I have their stainless barrel's and my CHF chrome lined barrels from Noveske are just as accurate.
I cobbled together a gen3 veske 12.5” 5.56 mid length switch block using all factory parts. Love that gun bc it’s cool as hell, though it’s also heavy as fuck with the old veske marked sws 2 piece 11” quad rail. However, I put together just bc I wanted a one off gun that I’d never seen before.
My 12.5 is my go to; most versatile barrel length for a number of contingencies. It took me about two years to come to that conclusion. I just hate I have to purchase a 16 inch rifle, far more lethal, as it appears short barrels are the low hanging fruit of the right to bare arms thingy ongoing.
Looking forward to the Type A review. I recently picked up a Type A Contractor/11.5” after a 13 month wait. I live about 2 hours from Grand Rapids MI & decided to order one from the local guys. 1911 Syndicate & another youtuber(defcon maybe) spoke very highly of BG Defense/Type A Rifles so I decided to take a chance. Got the gun a couple months ago & slapped an EOTech XPS3-0 and then waited for my OSS HX-QD 556 TI(wasn’t going to shoot unsuppressed)can which I just picked up about a week ago. Taking it to the range this Friday…finally. During my wait for my Type A I heard many praises about them but the few negative comments were REALLY negative. Anyways this is my first +$2k AR15 purchase & I won’t be buying another AR15 for awhile. Just wondering if I should’ve bought LMT/Noveske/H&K/KAC. Buying a LMT MWS, Rattler/Canebrake, Staccato C2 AND a USP tac 45 around the same time didn’t help finances!😂 Typical rookie shit having 5 incomplete rifles but it’s coming together. ANYWAYS looking forward to the review.
Would love to see the 14.5 review. Just bought a 14.5 afghan barrel thinking of throwing it in a ripcord industries build. Was looking at a criterion but there always a wait time. I found the barrel in stock at shooting surplus and the price was comparable to the criterion. I read a few places the 14.5 are known to be overgassed, what's your take?
@@austinknowles7331 they are harder so they will last 20k rounds min. I have one that still holds 1 moa and it's north of 40k. They arent more accurate necessarily but noveskes are because the polish before chrome lining but any fn chf barrel be it from psa,hodge noveske etc are great. Their stainless barrels are very accurate
Velocities look normal to me. M193 will average over 2800fps from an 11.5", and over 3000fps from 14.5". Book answer for M855 62gr from the 14.5" M4 was 2920fps.
@LRRPFco52 Wow that's really good. I was always told short barrels really hurt velocity and going from 20 to 14.5 to 10.3 even kills the ability to fragment. I always thought 20" barrels do 3000 [maybe a little more] and 14.5 is neutered but just gets by. Maybe I'm confusing 55 grain stats w/ 62. That could be it
@@ussscounterassaultteam5790 20" typically push M193 3200-3300fps, 62gr 3050-3150fps. Aberdeen high volume and cumulative fleet sample averages put M4 14.5" at 2920fps with real M855. Many of your .223 Rem loads are 200-400fps slower than 5.56 loads, so Fudds would do a lot of falsely-premised measurements to justify their advocacy for M14s or 6.8 SPC based on totally flawed data. A 12.5" shoots M193 faster (2950fps) than a 16" shoots Remington UMC .223 55gr FMJ (2930fps), for example. I'm not saying 5.56 is the hammer of Thor, just that gun rag articles in the 2000s were often highly flawed, void of relevant ballistic data on 5.56 carbines, substituting weak civilian 55gr, 68gr, 69gr data instead of actual M193 or M855. 11.5"-14.5" with M193 is no joke within 200yds. Everyone except for one dude I've seen shot with 5.56 was from short barrels, and they all either died or had traumatic avulsions (meat fileted from bone, bones destructively fragmented beyond repair, needed rods and screws to replace them).
Looking to add an offset red dot, something like an rmr or acro. I noticed you are using what appears a tube type red dot. How do you like that set up compared to the red dots with a smaller footprint? Weight?
@jims goon life, Sounds reasonable. I’ll look into that setup. I was strongly leaning towards something smaller, but, I will have to try it. Thanks for the reply...
I have been dying to switch my 16" barrel to a 12.5" or 13.7/9" barrel jus do not know for sure which would serve me best for an all multi use length, but mainly for a Person defense weapon for multi purpose rolls any suggestions would be appreciated, but keep in mind I am a poor so price on a barrel is an issue. preferably looking for the lowest cost barrel that is decent and serve my purpose sub moa is great but anything close will be just as good to me I need to train with it anyway.
With crappy military issued ammo, and crappy 3 moa guarantee FN m4 with 14.5 inch barrels you can hit 300m targets at least 70% of the time. Personally I have a DDM4v7 16inch barrel. Can rock 300 meter 10inch steel target 90% of the time. If I could go back again I would get a 13.7 or 14.5 ash First length. Try going through your apartment or house with a 16inch it’s not fun. As far as 12.5 vs 13.7 i would pinnand weld 13.7 to get the most velocity and still be able to store and travel with a regular stock on.
Great video. Perhaps I missed it but is that a 12.5 mid or carbine length? What buffer weight are you using and whats the length of the hand rail. Thanks. Looking to build something similar.
Hey Jimmy, awesome build and breakdown video! Question-for your 12.5 did you go with a lightweight or standard barrel? I want to save weight but hope to build mine with decent accuracy
Is the barrel in your rifle the 12.5 lightweight profile like the 10.5 lightweight profile used in the DEVGRU clones or a regular leonidas profile in stainless or chf?
Dumb question: What would be the difference between that and the current one for SF heads? They use the same thread pitch. Are Modlite heads bigger than SF? Sorry, I've never ran any Modlite stuff lol.
Hey J., love your work. Unfortunately time/life doesn’t permit me to watch everything so was wondering how you like the Emissary handstop & have you done a review of it that I’ve missed? Thank you sir & keep up the good work!
Steel case wears barrels faster. But the fact is in the time it takes to wear out that barrel you've already saved enough for another barrel and more ammo
I’m a Noveske fanboy too. 12.5” is awesome. I am finishing an 11.5” Noveske upper build. I chopped a gen 4 13.5” rail to 10.5” to match. Shoot me a message it would be cool to get your take.
i have always found noveskes rifles to be over gassed unnecessarily. guns like Daniel defense and bcm use much small gas ports and they still run just fine. for a 3k rifle i feel that they aren't in the same tier like knights and lmt
Noveske saying their barrels only get better with use rings true. I was ready to write off a Lwrc ica5 and Lmt mlr.. Both shot 2-4 MOA groups at 100 yards with 55gr fmj and 77gr smk first time out. They both have only gotten better with time/use and both have produced sub MOA groups since with the same ammo
I’ve got a LWRC Di that I haven’t shot for groups yet but have read nothing but disappoint from other Di owners saying at best it’s a 1.5 - 2 moa gun with the right ammo. Approximately how many rounds did it take for you to notice your groups tightening up?
I’m curious about ther Gen 4 17” “Rival”. Anyways sick video, awesome pistol. Thank you for the video! Noveske’s Switchblock is awesome for suppressed use. Sorry if I missed it, is this the Noveske CHF or the 416?
You shot a 12.5 barreled AR out past 700 yards? And you hit the target you were aiming at? Did you have a cross wind? And what energy do you think that bullet had at that range?
Can you link to that Unity mount? I’m also considering a Badger Ordnance 1.54 Mount and running a Aimpoint T2 or Acro at a 45 offset but haven’t seen many reviews….and help?
The A5 is only 0.5“ longer than a regular receiver extension, if memory serves me right. Maybe 0.75. So not that big a deal, especially if you aren’t running your stock fully collapsed anyway. I didn’t want to believe that adjustable gasblocks are unreliable but so far i have carbon locked: syrac, odin works and SLR gasblocks. On one SLR the sheet metal that holds the detent and the detent fell out and the gun stopped cycling, so yeah, I‘m reluctant now. The Superlative might be more reliable, have not tried one yet, but might. But from the looks of it, the next and last AGB I‘ll be trying is the Riflespeed, as the design seems very promising. I will be removing the SLR gasblocks from 2 of the 4 rifles that have them in there, and switching to A5, as I want those 2 rifles to be ultra reliable again. Disclaimer: All of my adjustable GBs were shot suppressed = extra carbon. And only the 2 steel SLR gasblocks had issues, the titanium ones did not. I presume that they don’t lock up the same way because there are 2 different metals contacting eachother or perhaps because Titanium isn’t as reactive. Also, in most cases if just the set screw seizes up, you basically end up with a regular gasblock - ideally in a good setting that isn’t as gassy. But the one that stopped cycling was a deal breaker for me.
I think there is a fair argument to be made that if your AR runs Steel cased reliably its over gassed. There are a fair number of QC concerns, Case Pressure, Case Friction, and even commonly case necks catching on mags that can and do occur either commonly or with every shot fired. In a certain sense you can say that shooting steel even semi-reliably is fine (say needing to help cycle the rifle a few times a mag) but consistently firing steel... Its kind of the antithesis of mechanically how the rifle is designed to cycle. Its closer to simulating shooting the gun bone dry and dirty. And while its good for a gun to survive neglect at a certain point you have to imagine your really trading on some tangible performance else where in the operation of the rifle. 556 AR's under 16, or arguably 14.5 need to be aggressively gassed for reliable cycling anyway, so you get steel to work as a bonus. But lets be honest, we wouldn't run most other calibers with this design. We don't run a 308 gun to cycle steel, and if you do the gun bucks worse than a 12 guage magnum slug from a pump. I shoot steel, and I have guns design to operate more like tanks than a swiss watch that churn through it. However I can say those trade some notable performance/metrics elsewhere.
All noveske guns are 1 of 1. Least That’s how it feels. Out of all the unobtainium noveske is definitely the worst I can find Knights stuff easier than I can find Novekse. Tag firearms has a 13.7 in stock case y’all are interested
Love my Gen 1 12.5 it’s been my duty weapon for almost 10 years!
You got your money out of it and then some. 24/7 your security.
Love my Gen 2 recce 16 inch. Got it in 2011 and it’s been running great since
I made a similar config myself. Noveske 11.5" barrel, and took a 15" gen 3 NSR Mlok and chopped it. Cerakoted in OD green. My favorite rifle.
12.5" midlength with the Vltor A5 would be a smooth system. If we have to wait for them, so be it. I'll gladly wait for them to fulfill their other projects if it guarantees there will be this one in the pipeline.
Can I switch out my current buffer weight to a vltor or do I need a new spring/weight and buffer tube altogether ?
You have to change the whole system. You need an A5 specific buffer tube, buffer, and then any ar15 rifle length spring
Love watching someone who is genuine and is relate-able
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That right there is a great interpretation of a functional art! Amazing what Noveske is putting out!
The criterian core series has a 12.5 that shoots really good as well cheaper alternative with good performance
It would be cool if criterion offered a midlength 12.5“ though, which they don’t 🙃

I’m curious about ther Gen 4 17” “Rival”. Anyways sick video, awesome pistol. Thank you for the video! Noveske’s Switchblock is awesome for suppressed use. Sorry if I missed it, is this the Noveske CHF or the 416?
hey mate! can i use some of your clips for introducing noveske n4? your video of noveske n4 is so good!
Are you going to SBR this 12.5. I never really cared to get a sub 16in length until your top 5 guns video now I’m obsessed with my researching it.
Did you sell all of your Triarc ARs? You should do some comparisons.
Curious to see what you think of the Type A. My 12.5" Type A won't stabilize 77gr ammo.
Throw a criterion or bcm in there
I’ve got a 12.5” Di Type A as well but have never shot for groups. Have you gotten sub moa with any ammo?
Besides 75 and 77gr ammo, I've only shot my 55gr training ammo that I load with mixed head stamps on my progressive press. Shot those about 1.5"
You shot a 12.5 barreled AR out past 700 yards? And you hit the target you were aiming at? Did you have a cross wind? And what energy do you think that bullet had at that range?
It has a Carbine gas tube?
Can you link to that Unity mount? I’m also considering a Badger Ordnance 1.54 Mount and running a Aimpoint T2 or Acro at a 45 offset but haven’t seen many reviews….and help?
LMT barrel vs this Noveske barrel: please provide a comparison
Please do a Video on the 14.5
Does anyone have any idea how to reproduce this cerakote color?
So does Noveske make this now as a kit for us to buy?
I would like to see the 14.5 video.
Just run a SA adjustable gas block, smooth it out without the added length of the A5… smooth as butter. Run one on my 10.5 LMT, SOFT shooter
The A5 is only 0.5“ longer than a regular receiver extension, if memory serves me right. Maybe 0.75. So not that big a deal, especially if you aren’t running your stock fully collapsed anyway.
I didn’t want to believe that adjustable gasblocks are unreliable but so far i have carbon locked: syrac, odin works and SLR gasblocks. On one SLR the sheet metal that holds the detent and the detent fell out and the gun stopped cycling, so yeah, I‘m reluctant now. The Superlative might be more reliable, have not tried one yet, but might. But from the looks of it, the next and last AGB I‘ll be trying is the Riflespeed, as the design seems very promising.
I will be removing the SLR gasblocks from 2 of the 4 rifles that have them in there, and switching to A5, as I want those 2 rifles to be ultra reliable again.
Disclaimer:
All of my adjustable GBs were shot suppressed = extra carbon. And only the 2 steel SLR gasblocks had issues, the titanium ones did not. I presume that they don’t lock up the same way because there are 2 different metals contacting eachother or perhaps because Titanium isn’t as reactive.
Also, in most cases if just the set screw seizes up, you basically end up with a regular gasblock - ideally in a good setting that isn’t as gassy. But the one that stopped cycling was a deal breaker for me.
Yo what’s that rig set up??
One hell of a firearm🍻
I was looking at picking up the Gen 4 Infidel, any thoughts?
Fantastic gun built by some strange people, good kind of strange
How do u get ur hands on a full power peq
What height is the scope mount?
If I’m looking to get a vltor buffer do I need to get the whole set? Or just get the spring and buffer weight?
I’m making a build like this just in my 14.5 that’s pin and welded
What was the hand stop you have?
Emissary Development
How's the finish holding up? Do you see silver or black underneath goonlife green?
I think there is a fair argument to be made that if your AR runs Steel cased reliably its over gassed.
There are a fair number of QC concerns, Case Pressure, Case Friction, and even commonly case necks catching on mags that can and do occur either commonly or with every shot fired. In a certain sense you can say that shooting steel even semi-reliably is fine (say needing to help cycle the rifle a few times a mag) but consistently firing steel... Its kind of the antithesis of mechanically how the rifle is designed to cycle. Its closer to simulating shooting the gun bone dry and dirty. And while its good for a gun to survive neglect at a certain point you have to imagine your really trading on some tangible performance else where in the operation of the rifle.
556 AR's under 16, or arguably 14.5 need to be aggressively gassed for reliable cycling anyway, so you get steel to work as a bonus. But lets be honest, we wouldn't run most other calibers with this design. We don't run a 308 gun to cycle steel, and if you do the gun bucks worse than a 12 guage magnum slug from a pump.
I shoot steel, and I have guns design to operate more like tanks than a swiss watch that churn through it. However I can say those trade some notable performance/metrics elsewhere.
I get 1 moa all the time with bullshit range ammo. I live my 12.5 NOVESKE barrel
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Was this their carbine or mid 12.5?
Edit: My bad I didn’t watch until the end, I thought it was skipped in the specs.
14:33 but it’s the carbine
@@jimmybrodriguez my bad I didn’t wait until that part.
Is this the chf or the stainless barrel?
Patrol length?
Awesome👍👍
Is this the Stainless barrel, or the Chrome Lined FN?
SS
All noveske guns are 1 of 1. Least That’s how it feels. Out of all the unobtainium noveske is definitely the worst I can find Knights stuff easier than I can find Novekse. Tag firearms has a 13.7 in stock case y’all are interested
