And now I have a bad case of BRD. Thinking of building a rifle w/ Noveske gen 2 lower.

The only place I could find the Noveske lowers in stock is G&R, and they're 300 bucks. Not sure if I want to do that, but damn those lowers look nice. Anyone want to help me justify spending 300 dollars where a 150 dollar lower will do?

A $99 lower does work just fine, but I say fo for the Noveske. A DPMS will do for most of the weekend warriors on here but many spring for LaRue or or other fancy brands. I spent $275 on a Franklin Armory Billet lower and had no idea what to do with it, so now I am putting all top-tier parts in it and replacing the PSA lower on my Stag Model 6. Of course, if I do that, I also have to change the stock, cheap free-float rail, etc... So my impulse lower buy will cost me upwards of a grand when all done! It really is a sickness.

I have NEVER been able to justify a $300 stripped lower, no matter how nice it looks.  But, if you want it, get it.  

I also can't justify a $500 hooker when two six packs and $50 hooker will do.  JUST KIDDING, but you get the point.

I had originally been eyeing up an AK pistol, but when I heard John passed I said my next rifle would be a Noveske.

I think buying one of his lowers is a good way to get that ball rolling.

Has a lower ever been the weakpoint in an AR build? The exception would be if it is so far out of spec that it doesn't mate with the upper. There is no reason to spend more money for name brand bragging rights....unless that is what you are into.

It is a very nice lower but it will not do anything a standard lower will do at half the price.

If You want it and it helps remind You of John and His work, Then by all means get it.

Finding a Noveske upper is going to be hard for a while but the lowers are easier to find right now.

Lots of lowers out there, finally.  Nothing wrong with the Noveske, if you want to go that way.
At least you know it will be in spec.
