Re: Did Noveske stop building the N6?
Umm...308 pmags are only like $17. And I'm pretty sure their quality is well known. Not only that but magazines should be considered consumables that will break and should be discarded. If I want to buy 10 magazines, $170 is a lot more appealing than $400
Gen 2 Ar10 $40 (damn $50 from "warehouse D")
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/64268-1.html Pmag $20 (sorry, $17 with mil discount)
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2MGMPI243BLK-1.html And I never said the N6 wasn't good. I have a Noveske barrel in my MaTen and I love it. No one is questioning Noveskes quality.
But one cannot ignore the fact that there are very very few mfgers of AR10 pattern rifles. The vast majority of ar308 mfgers out there are making DPMS pattern rifles. And now, just this year, even armalite stopped making ar10 mag compatible rifles making PMAG compatible rifle instead. This isn't a coincidence.
I think Noveske doesn't want to release any product that is not 100% great. So they are holding off on making any rifles with this now obsolete lower. They will let the ar10a be fielded for a while to let it go through its growing pains that comes with any new product, and once its @ 100% I bet we will see N6A's coming out.
But I will agree that Noveske is filling back orders like crazy. You can't get a Noveske anything right now. The fury over their products makes me wonder if they were either on some gun show or if they were reviewed in some popular gun rag lately.
