My recreation of the Jonny from the Recoil article. Still working out a few details.

Got this gen 2 lower in a trade.



Also picked up a MUR upper, foliage CTR & grip and trigger.  I’ve special ordered an ADM Recon mount with solid rings and Noveske logo.  I still need the charging handle, barrel, rail and Short Dot and to get the parts coated in foliage.  

I’ve considered getting an available Noveske barrel and having it cut down to 10.2” to be a stand in until I could hopefully one day find an original barrel.  Thoughts from you guys???

Sounds like you're on the right path. Need the correct grip. If you ordered a mount from ADM recently I have seen them, the mounting levers have changed and the Noveske logo looks a bit off on them.

I worked hard at  every detail down to the small parts. I'f you  have any questions you can message me. I had some extra Jonny parts but sold the ones I was willing to part with just recently.

And nice on  getting  a Gen 2 lower they have become very hard to find past 8 months.

The Gen 2’s are to me, by far the best lower noveske made.  

Just finished up a build with a g2 stripped lower I had sitting in the safe since 2013

Yup…..becoming rare as hens teeth these days.  Seen a couple on gb fetch 1k.  But now you
rarely even see them listed.

Can one of you Noveske guru's tell me which Gen upper a keymod NHR is designed for? Does it align correctly with a Gen 3 upper. Does anyone have pictures?

Yeah that's just a reg Gen 3 keymod. About mid run probably around 2014. Will work great for a Gen 3 if you want keymod.

Thanks! Yeah I'm one of the keymod weirdos. Now i have to source a Gen 3 upper!

ETA: will the rail work with a Gen 4 upper? I'm pairing it with a Gen 3 lower.

Picked this one up a few months before Johnny's passing. Recently modernized it a bit, but the internals will always stay the same.

The Gen 3 rails won’t match up with the Gen 4 uppers.  It’ll install just fine, just won’t look right cosmetically.

Anybody know a good Cerakote color to match the color of Johnny’s 300BLK SBR?  I’m assuming it’s something like the Magpul foliage color of the stock and grip.

It's just the FG green Cerakote. It can tricky to get it to match perfectly. The original was painted in GunKote.

Haha yeah, sorry guys. It was the pic rail. Some person randomly listed 2 of them on eBay for $15. I didn't even remember I had a saved search. I had a really great stand-in but feels nice to find one.

Have a few more parts coming in this week and then I'll take a decent pic. (5 slot rail and lens covers) I'm going to grab the receivers, rail and barrel and build a separate clone correct rifle. Funny I have most of the hard shit to find, the rest will be a breeze.
