A question about a brand of barrels?? (Noveske)

[RobMa]

I was wondering if these barrels were any good or are they just more overhyped rifle parts?

Before John died, Noveske was considered Top Tier. After... still highly regarded by many, viewed as Gucci by others.

Two certainties:
1. You will get a high-end barrel, probably better than a Colt or FN milspec.
2. Your checkbook will bleed out the bubblegum accordingly.

Likely made for them by FN by your description. Noveski has a great reputation that comes with a price. If yo are shooting sustained full auto this is the type of barrel you want, otherwise a lot of very good options out there for less price.

Over blown, Over Hyped! Standard Melonited Mil Spec will run every bit as good!

FN only makes 14.7 and I am building this.

URG-I cloner, huh?

I would consider a standard colt Socom barrel if I could find one and then shave down the FSB.

Kinda, but with a bcm lower and upper though, so not an exact clone. I just like the set up, I don't care much for the BCM rails as much as I like the Geissele.

Noveske barrels are amazing. And so is that razor scope

One of my prized uppers is a Noveske that was built when John was still alive. It is a cold hammer forged chrome lined 16 inch upper and the only thing I'm not wild about is that quad rail handguards were the rage back then. The upper is butter smoother and performs well. I put it on a Sharps Bros billet warthog lower and it matches well.
