How much?  I'm facing a similar desire but lusting after an SR-25 APC or ACC.

I believe the black comes with M-lok

If you scroll down the Noveske Instagram page, the two they donated to the NRA one is green with keymod, the other is black with mlok

The black is what is in right now.

Beats me. You asked me to talk you out of it.

ETA: Seriously, though, a short barreled 308 is something else when you shoot it.

At 12.5" barrel what does the OAL end up being at with brake or FH?

Just do it.

Precision rifles that aren't chambered in 5.56 should be bolt action rifles...how's that

You could buy a nice used Accuracy International AT for basically the same money.

WHAT?!?!?!  I would not buy that without some damn good hearing protection and or a suppressor.

You aren't kidding.  The AIAT pictured above has a 14" (pinned and welded to 16") barrel and without the integral suppressor it sucks to shoot unless you wear plugs and muffs.

According to even AAC QD suppressors such as their SDN6 and the 762SD aren't meant for precision rifles.  I chased POI shift for a long, long time with my 762SD and finally gave up.

They highly recommended direct thread models.

Ops inc/Allen engineering is my go to for precision rifles.

You are correct in that direct thread suppressors are better for precision guns.

I agree... The latest versions though, they pretty much have every single kink worked out. Prices are hefty, even at dealer price Been wanting one for years, but I think I'll just be happy with my SCAR and save up the money of a more modern bolt gun than my M40A1.

Original N6 absolutely; they're crazy accurate.  If I had the cash I'd probably get the SBR version just for the hell of it, so I say go for it. Bet it will wreck a muzzle device in short order and I'd be sure to buy a super durable can because I wouldn't be firing that beast without one.

I have the Armalite pattern Leonidas N6 and have been in the AR10 game when Armalite was the only civilian option (1997) Knights was around but having one was expressly expensive.  

My gun just plain works . I have used it for outlaw 3 gun matches with the KX3 and a SN6 mounted . The gun is just plain fun. Get it if you can. I'm at six AR10s with two of them N6s. I posted a picture years ago in the Armalite forum when we had one. I would do it now , too hard on iPhone. Never had a hicup .

Get it

If it was me I'd get a MEGA and build it right.  I also own a Noveske and the MEGA is in fact nicer.

My MEGA MATEN is in 6.5CM, but same frame.

It's not bad at all.  There's a near 100-page thread about the MEGA MATEN in the variants forum, no trouble at all getting you good parts that will integrate.

+1 On building your own.
First of all a 12.5 308 is fucking great.  Second, the energy from a 168 at 2200fps is still advantageous advantageous to a 300 BLK. Third, large frame receivers and components have chil come a loooong way in the last few years, and the headache can easily be mitigated. DEFINITELY go Mega. The only thing i would think about doing different is possibly using one of the new smaller frame models.

Fourth and final, they aren't NEARLY as nasty to shoot unsuppressed as many want you to think. I shoot mine in heavy metal 3-gun about 2-3 times a year.  With a quality break and adjustable gas block, you'll find throwing $2 at every target addicting. I say definitely go 308 SBR, but build your own smaller frame Mega (if they are out yet, if not then standard MA-TEN FTW!)
