any similar setup for the Noveske AR10 upper ? kinda like the SASS version from Armalite.


I'M CERTAIN NOVESKE HAS ONE IN THE WORKS. IT'S TOO GOOD OF AN IDEA NOT TO HAVE ONE FOR THE AR10.

WHEN??? I DO NOT KNOW.

For the fellows who like having their gasblock under the rail, why not offer a special model that has the switch handle removed and the hole assembly downsized to fit under the rail, then have a shaft inserted into it from the front of the rail and attached to it is a dummy type gasblock housing that is pined to the barrel and houses the switch, allowing the desired rail length with any gas system, and maybe make a model that has the ops inc shoulder built in, just a thought.


Sounds like you should patent that...

How hot does it get after, say, a 30 round magazine?

Wes,

It it possible, and what would be the cost on the following upper:

Noveske - N4 barreled upper cut & threaded to 10.5" (I saw your other post on these)
Noveske - IonBonded Switch Block
LMT - IonBonded BCG
KAC - Carbine URX Rail

Would I need to buy an N4 upper and send it to you for the work or can you provide an adequate standard forged upper to place everything else on?

Thanks!

Cool! I just want to hear a review from an actual user and I am sold.
Currently running suppressed I can get about 120 rounds through it
until the gas gets too strong for me to effectively use it. That's with
a PRI Gas Buster CH and not all at one range session. Any word if this
will improve that from an end user?

EVERY SWITCHBLOCK BUILD YOU SEE WITH THE SUREFIRE FA556AR MUZZLE DEVICE I HAVE SHOT WITH MY OWN SUREFIRE SUPPRESSOR, WITH A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF THE SHOOTING DONE FULL AUTO. I CAN STATE WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION THAT THE SWITCHBLOCK WORKS AS ADVERTISED.

The only bad thing about the switchblock is they wont sell it without you purchasing a full upper package.  

Gay!!!  

I suppose I will have to make a on/off gas block myself and market it by itself.

I believe John is trying to patent this but Im not sure the patent office would consider this a item innovative enough to issue a patent.


I wish noveski would do that so I dont have to make one!!!!!!

So correct me if I'm wrong, but this product would replace just the gas block? and when it says tuned, will there be one for virtually every application? or for just older Noveske uppers that don't have them installed?

If in doubt, it would always be possible to simply order the switchblock with the tightest ports and disassemble it.  Then open the ports a smidgen at a time until they suited your setup.  

I want one for a 10.5" Grendel first.  I want more than one port to play with so I can work on my subsonic 160grn. loads.

I think the holy grail of AR gasblockdom would be a switchblock system incorporated into a YHM style clamp on gas block with a flip up front sight....  But that's just me...

THE GAS BLOCK AND THE GAS TUBE.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE CAN'T BE ONE FOR EVERY CONCEIVABLE APPLICATION. OF COURSE, I'M NOT NOVESKE, BUT I WOULD EXPECT THEM EVENTUALLY FOR 5.56MM BARRELS IN:

10.5" CARBINE LENGTH*

14.5" CARBINE LENGTH AND MID-LENGTH

16" MID-LENGTH*

18" INTERMEDIATE LENGTH

18" RIFLE LENGTH*

* INDICATES SWITCHBLOCKS ALREADY IN PRODUCTION ON CUSTOM BARRELS

I have an order with Noveske currently and I can still have this added to my N4 Light Recce Low-Profile at this time.  Can you think of any reason you would not have it installed if you can afford it?  Other than if there is no plans of getting a suppressor, which I would love to get one down the road.  I know by adding this it will shorten the rail system from 10" to a 9" but I think that should still be long enough.  

Any thoughts or advise would be great, seems like a very nice option to add on but trying not to get too ahead of myself without thinking it through.

I THINK YOU'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. IF THE SUPPRESSOR IS A POSSIBILITY IN YOUR FUTURE, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU GOT THE SWITCHBLOCK.
