Curious how tight your upper and lower are. My MUR and Gen2 lower are so tight that I have to use my Glock tool to push the rear pin out. Damn tight. I have two non chainsaw mur's that are the same way. My chainsaw mur flops around, so i put it on my Rainier billet lower with the tension screw. No problem. |

Great stick where did you find an 18" Noveske Barrle? I have been looking for months Noveske had a run of 18" LW barrels on their website about 3-4 weeks ago. That is where I picked mine up at. And it appears that Rainier still has some in stock. I originally wanted the 18" SPR barrel, but when the LWs came into stock I jumped on it since I didn't know when there would be anymore available. |

Well I don't know if mine is considered "high end" but here is my new one. I sat down a couple of months ago to start buying pieces to build an AR as a retirement gift to myself and contacted Noveske to try and find out how to obtain some new Gen 3 parts. They replied with an offer to not only help me, but completely customize and personalize a rifle for me. So I jumped on it. I was looking forward to building one, but when Noveske calls you (literally calls you on the phone) and offers to do something like this, you jump on it. I have actually had this for a few weeks now, but just got the optics in and decided to finally take and post a few pics. It is all Noveske except I sent the a Seekin's Precision Lower. Without a magazine or optics it weighed in at 7 pounds 3 oz. It is a 16 inch Noveske Lightweight Barrel and a 16.7 inch NSR, KX5, Gen 3 Noveske Upper, Geissele SD-E Trigger, Noveske engraved Troy iron sights, and of course FDE Cerakote.

Looks great, OP!
Mine started out similarly, although I'm not sure why VLTOR and Noveske are blacked out on my receiver set...

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I recently got a new job and have been extremely busy. The rifle is finished, however.
The final iteration differs slightly from my initial plan, but I love it. Pics will come sometime this week. |

Great build! Almost exactly like one I did during the height of the craziness. Only differences were that I had a FailZero BCG, Norgon mag release and a Geissele SD-E. One suggestion though. Ditch the UBR. It is cool, and its the "most expensive" (and I had one too) but it just turned your build into a hippo. You have a lightweight front end and a cement truck on the rear. The minute I switched over to a CTR, the rifle hit "Holy Grail" status. In the end, as long as you are happy with what you are assembling, that's all the matters. Here's how mine turned out. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-djxU5XUoVow/UWLwv8JYjzI/AAAAAAAAo-M/awu8Wpaat_M/w1847-h1385-no/IMG_20130408_122907.jpg This is funny, as I said in my previous post, the difference I was speaking of was I ditched the UBR, just made the rifle feel wrong, swapped for a CTR and now I'm in love. |

I really wanted to like the UBR on this rifle but with how light the NSR makes the front end it just made the rifle feel odd to me. It wasn't overly heavy by any means but heavier than I had planned for this rifle, and like I said it just didn't feel balanced. The UBR is just such an awesome and rock solid stock. I actually almost went with a battlelink minimalist. Still toying with trying it.
I will try to find more pics with the UBR. |

I'll bet it handles really well. I have a UBR on my rifle, and it really works well but that's because I have a HBAR barrel with Rifle length URX ii, which makes it rather front heavy (in addition to it eventually having a can on it). In this instance, a UBR is perfect because after I added it, it balanced perfectly. If however you have a light front end (as you've stated), the UBR would probably make it balance funny, and I wouldn't recommend it. |

This thing just points right where you want it too, Transitions lightening quick. I really love this thing. And it's so accurate. My groups are always sub-MOA, however I know it is far more accurate then I could ever hope to be. |

Are you talking bench rest with a scope? Ghetto benched with a scope. Ghetto benched meaning resting on magazine base. But they are still very tight with the Aimpoint standing. |

Sorry, I have looked a lot at NSRs but I guess I never read much about them and the index pin. I'm guessing the "norm" is to include the index pin? |

If your upper has the ability to accept the index pin, then use it. Like previously stated, the chances of you putting enough torque on the NSR to shift it are pretty slim.
Granted, i am sitting at a computer talking about a rifle that i will more than likely never use in a combat situation. If the chances are good you'll be in combat, you can get the index hole drilled into your upper. Any smith could do it. |

I wanted the Rainier Precision Match NiB BCG but it was sold out for ever and I did not feel like waiting so I went with the BCM, just as happy. Back to the NSR index, if your upper lacks the hole you can send it to ADCO and they will drill it for $55. |
