Re: My First AR Build.....

Well, I don't think you could have gone with a finer barrel... I have now replaced every one of my rifles with a Noveske, four total. Call me a fan boy or whatever you want; they make great stuff. Let us know how it shoots.

A fan boy is a person who will stand even behind a bad product just because of a name (L****) being on of them. Noveske makes a great barrel so nothing wrong with pointing out a good product

Thanks, Strangeday, you just made my day. True, if Noveske started putting out crap, I would drop them like a bad habbit.

How does she shoot?

Re: My First AR Build.....

She shoots great so far but my buddy's neighbors' house I was shooting at had a bench at 100 yards and with an eotech it is hard to hold in the same spot (bc you can't see the spot). I have a Burris Tac30 1-4x on backorder and will be able to shoot some better groups in a month or so and I'll post some targets.

I am of the buy once cry once crowd so I went with the Noveske b/c I knew I would have ended up there eventually.

Re: My First AR Build.....

The wait for the Tac30 is worth it. I think its a great scope for $300. Illumination is really good, glass is clear, field of view at 1x is like a good red dot. I like the hell out of mine. It sits just right in the Larue SPR 1.5 if you don't have a mount or rings yet.

I got a DTI 1x9. Been eyeballing either a 16 or 18" 1x8 twist Noveske for a while now. It will have to wait though.

Good catch, I did not even see that. Kinda interesting.

I liked what I saw of the tac30 from the reviews and got to test out my buddy's last weekend. It seems like a great value for the money, I feel to get a better scope you would really have to spend at least double or more than what the tac30 goes for.

Interesting as I am new to ARs I never noticed. I've only shot a couple of my friends before and didn't really inspect them in that great detail.

I sold my eotech and replaced it with a Burris Tac30. I mounted it on a Larue SPR that I got used from a member here.

I also traded in my 11" tube for a 13" with Noveske before I shot it. I noticed with the 11" that there was not room to mount a bipod due to the location of the gas block. The 13" has enough room in front of the gas block to get one mounted.

Go out and enjoy that fine looking rifle, a couple of test targets would be appreciated.

Good score.

Yeah I planned to ditch the eotech from the start, I had it already and was using it temporarily until I decided what to go with.

Thanks for the comments.

Re: My First AR Build.....

I am getting into long range tactical rifle and while I wait on my .260 build, I put my SWFA SS 5-20 on this AR and shots some at 300 and 400.

I am currently shooting Black Hills 77 SMK blue box but have some southwestammo 5.56 77 SMK on order which should give me a bit more velocity.

Here is my target at 400 yards....I'd say its a keeper. Once my 260 is done i'm thinking of putting a 3-9X optic since obviously this rifle deserves more then just a 4x max.

Re: My First AR Build.....

That was my 4th time shooting past 250 (hunting) in my life and the first time with my own equipment that I sighted, doped and wind called myself. The other times I was just pulling the trigger and taking instruction from my buddy on dope an wind.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Sirshootsalot</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hey your rifle looks wonderful, want to say thank you because I have never heard of noveske and I think on my s&w m&p 15t I might get the barrel question though do I need To buy anything else or will the barrel just fit? New to rifle building. </div></div>

So long as the barrel comes with an extension, it's a simple fit. Take off handguards, gasblock/gastube, barrel nut. Then stab in new bbl (i like to use a little antiseize on the threads) barrel nut from old bbl & the rest is reverse sequence. Dont let barrel changing intimidate you, its not hard. It is nice to have a vise with a receiver block & you will need basic allenwrenches, screwdriver maybe & a barrel wrench (I like the PRI barrel wrench). The only thing that could throw you a curve is if you have a pinned on gas block & the new barrel doesnt have the right slots. If that is the case I highly recommend going to a SYRAC Ord adj gas block (while you're at it).
