Currently have a mostly Geissele 11.5 and two Colt MK18 Block II builds. I’m wanting to get one more shorter 10.3-11.5 setup and leaning on a Noveske gen4 shorty with SS barrel. For sub $2500, any reason I shouldn’t?

Personally I'm over the hype beast BS that Noveske has been all over the last couple years. They have become a clothing company that occasionally sells guns to the instagram operator bros. Plenty of other gun companies that actually do stuff for shooters.

I say all this as a guy that's owned around a dozen factory noveske rifles going all the way back to when they still stamped across both receivers. It sucks but they're dead to me.

They're barrels are no better than any other high end company.

I own a couple of Gen 4's. Two downsides: the trigger and the magpul mush saftey. They come with an ALG trigger, so you'll want to replace that eventually if you prefer a nice 2 stage. More egregious is the saftey, but that's an easy fix.

Other than that, they're excellent. Fit, finish, accuracy, reliability. They're a bit gassy, but they'll eat anything.

Also I don't get people that hate their marketing or why that's even mentioned. I don't care for their skate boards or squirt guns, so I just don't buy them. They sold a fuck ton of guns in 2021 for a reason, and it isn't squirt guns.

I guess that's not really a metric I care much about. I bet Troy sold some rifles too, Hi Point was probably slamming them out the door. Who cares?

Anyway. Why not a BRN180? Or an LWRC?

You literally said " They have become a clothing company that occasionally sells guns", so clearly you do.

I bought a 10.5" shorty in 2014 as a work rifle. I shot out the upper through classes and training (free ammo, don't blame me!) and rebuilt it all in 2020. Noveske makes a good rifle. It's now a 12.5" with another factory noveske upper and geissele goodies. I bought a second 10.5" in 2016.

Great rifles.

The only reason I would say no is because you already have an 11.5" and two 10.3"''s.   Time to mix it up a bit.

If I had $2500 burning a hole in my pocket for a new cool guy .mil shortie....it would be:
