To all the people griping about a $50 lower with a $250 rollmark:
The Gen II is a revolutionary product. A forged (STRONG!) lower receiver with billet features (flared magwell, integrated trigger guard). It 's super cool and unique in the market, and that's what justifies the price. Not the rollmark. Noveske definitely dropped the ball on quality, IMO. |

Folks are paying top dollar for Gen II non-chainsaw lowers and they are showing up with issues galore... Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t649/mdwstddm4/df/IMG_0957_zps53a7be24.jpg But that was Noveske's claim to fame... PRISTINE finishes on their products. That lower should've been sold as a chainsaw. All of the blem PSA lowers I have built around look better than that Noveske. Got ya. Now that you say that, I can see what a complete rip off that piece of shit lower was. That's fucked up, does it matter? [shrug] Yikes. The small pits I wouldn't even mess with. That looks terrible. Holes off center, burr rolled in the cross hole (on the one a few posts up). Someone in the finishing room needs a wiener punch for that finish. |

Half of the people complaining about minor finish imperfections are going to fuck those lowers up anyway by pounding roll pins into them on their kitchen table.
This is why I can't stand most gun enthusiasts. You're not buying a $2500 Sako 85 Deluxe. It's an AR15, and a lot of them will be shot a few times and then only brought out of the safe when the owner wants to show it off when his buddies come over for a BBQ. |

There are some pretty bashed up lowers in that thread. Personally I would not care but whatever, I can understand why someone paying a bunch of money is pissed. I thought the chainsaw lower deal was pretty clever, but I guess they really opened themselves up to people expecting the full price lowers to be flawless. A lot of that looks no different than some of the bashed up stuff that Colt sends out the door. View Quote Flame suit on. If gun owners would stop buying firearms as if they were fire art to be regarded sipping wine with pinkies sticking out we wouldn't have this sort of stupidity. Every one I've ever seen at the range with the absurd Tier 1 stuff in immaculate condition at the range (usually topped off with a couple thousand bucks worth of optics) was the same: They show up, shoot a couple shots (poorly), and then talk about their "Top Brand" guns as if they expect a pat on the back. Its ostentatious and grating. I take tremendous solace at these times in setting up the 500 yard gong and watching their annoyance as they keep missing it, while I ring the damn thing over and over again with my Franken Ar put together with EE scraps and a very basic optics. The kind of guy who would vent a spleen because of the minor cosmetic issues in that thread is usually not the kind of guy who actually shoots enough to become skilled. More like corvette collectors. |

If they are so bad you can't stand it anymore I will offer .20 cents on the Dollor to buy them up.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be pissed of that a blem item has blems.
Edit... Missed the "non" part, thought it was the usual bitching about blem items. I guess chainsaw really means weed eater now. |

I ordered a chainsaw that I need to sell, but just haven't gotten around to it. I dropped the idea of building a noveske and just bought an SR15. I guess I will now lose money on that noveske lower.

If the pins are off, I would be pissed. The cosmetic stuff would get a shrug from me.
But as I have said before, and ruffled a few feathers doing so, there are a 3 groups of people in the gun community. Gun owners, collectors and shooters. These threads prove that the majority aren't the latter. |

View Quote i like the gen 2 lowers for that reason, they have the great look of a billet, but they are forged. the trigger guard is awesome, i wich more companies would include their trigger guard on forged lowers, and the flared magwell is great to. I bought a bunch of lowers from noveske, i didnt mind spending the extra cash on them. but i dont believe i got anything blemished as bad as the guys on the forums,, but then again i didnt get my lowers from joBobs, i got mine from DSG. either way, since these are Gen2 lowers and they stopped making gen 2 lowers, they should be able to get rid of them at more price than they payed for them. |

WTF!?).

And just as most of the car restoration crowd can't drive performance machines for shit, go to the range some time and watch the awful, terrible, pathetic skills of the "hobby" gun owners -- you'll know em when you see em, and you'll also realize there are more of them than the guys who are amazing you with their skill and acumen.

I remember in the ban days when people were nursing themselves along with cast olympic and DPMS lowers and liking it. I still have a DPMS cast lower from that era, though its bolted to a .22 dedicated upper at the moment. |
