Noveske Project Leonidas question

[John_in_WYO]

Evening all.
I called Noveske and left a message about 10 days ago. No return call.

I'm interested in a 7.62x51 SBR. Leaning toward the LWRCI, but consider the LMT as well.

Does anyone know: Did Noveske drop the Leonidas project?

Just curious.

Thanks.

Re: Noveske Project Leonidas question

I was wondering the same thing. The last run of 7.62 they did, did not include the 12.5s. I was thinking of just going with a 14.5 and avoiding the tax stamp. I don't mind paying the tax on a 5.56 lower as it will support multiple short barreled uppers. My 7.62 on the other hand, will most likely only support one. Plus, with the KX3's OAL the 12.5 barrel comes to about 15.28", a 14.5" with a Vortex has an OAL of 16.25"; that's a difference of only .97" if you choose to stay with the KX3; to me that's not worth the extra $200 to register.
