I have been running with a 12 or 12.5 inch AR for a little while now, and have found it to be the ideal length for me. Compact enough for work inside buildings, houses, and vehicles; yet still enough barrel length to hit out to 300+ yards without offset aiming. I am also big fan of Noveske products, very reliable, durable, and their customer service is top notch. When I was piecing together my last carbine, Noveske was only offering their chrome lined barrels in 10.5, 14.5 and 16. I couldn't see getting a stainless steel target barrel for the kind of shooting I do, so I went with a Daniel Defense (now listed in the Options for sale section at an awesome deal
). Needless to say, I was pretty ecstatic after talking to Joel at Noveske and he said their next project was 12.5 chrome lined uppers.
They wouldn't let me pre-order so after 2 months of checking their website everyday, the new Noveske General Purpose Rifle (GPR) 12.5 inch finally appeared on their page last Friday. I first ordered a basic which listed sold out right after I completed my order. Long story short, I called Monday morning and talked them into selling me a Lo Pro with an 11 inch SWS rail instead of the standard 9, and they were very happy to oblige.
It showed up at my door last night and here it is:
I've never used a KX3 before, and I'm not to sure about throwing a six foot flame out of my barrel especially at night (seems like it might make a pretty good target indicator for the bad guys); but I'm going to try it out and most likely swap it out with my Smith Vortex. So, watch for a very slightly used KX3 in the options sale section coming up.
I hope to get out to the range in the next couple of days (wife willing
). I will have a range report after I do.
