I have another 13.7" Noveske and it runs great. A little finicky on buffers when suppressed vs unsuppressed, but thats just tuning. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AWHAILYEAH: What color cerakote? Bazooka or Magpul Foliage? ETA: nvm you got a factory Vltor Foliage Green upper so it’s gotta be the latter I got a factory foliage upper, but VLTOR uses gun kote (cant remember the code) and its way different than magpul foliage green. So it was actually cerekoted Magpul Foliage with the rest of the gun, and then I re laser marked it.

Also Blowndeadline Cerekote can redo laser marking and do a great job at it if you ever need it done. I do not have a side by wide with bazooka, sorry. Here is a side by side of the upper and lower after the lower was cerekoted, when we realized they werent going to match.   |

I just torque it down to 40 ft lbs on whatever side of the nut that will get the holes to line up close. If it’s a tad less, I go ahead and go more to get it to line up. Don’t over torque too much as you’ll stretch the receiver slot. No locktite.  |

Does anyone remember how the 2000s uppers were marked? I'm putting together the first Diplomat I saw in eh 2004? and I don't recall if they had black or white crosses on the side of the receiver or if they were even marked at all? Pics for the project inspiration. I have everything except the upper at this point.

Finally got my hands on a Noveske quad rail. Unfortunately its an SWS not an NQR. Didn't want to have to change barrel nuts. Thinking of sending it out and having it refinished in Armor Black cerakote.
