Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DougFresh: Thanks for the replies guys. I admit I am a bit light on knowledge about the AR 15 I bought the Daniel defense iMK 18 because I’m worried I won’t be able to buy an AR pistol in the next few months. I really wanted a shorter barrel HKMR556 but I don’t we’re ever going to get it because everybody on the forum says HK hates us. You can get a mr556 and have it cut down to 10.4". This is mine with my CQBR.

Still have my factory DD Mk18 upper from like 2012 or 2013 when I bought it. I need to pick up an M84 charging handle and I think I'm going to snag (and SBR) a Palmetto M4A1 marked lower to make this look a little more clone correct.   |

I know little to nothing about Noveske guns.
Is there something unique or special about their shorty 300 and 556 guns that warrants their $2,700 price tag? Not bashing, just honestly curious. And not to get too far off topic here, but are any of their commercial offerings the exact same thing (minus the auto switch)? |

I'll let other people debate the price tag, but no, the commercial offerings are not close to the dev gun. You pretty much have to build it yourself. - It uses a combination of a Gen 1 lower (for a reason) with a Gen 3 upper and that's not a configuration you'll find off-the-shelf - The barrel is a custom profile that's not available from them commercially (there's only a handful of them in civi hands at the moment) - The caliber-marked port doors are not offered commercially - The NSR hardware is not offered commercially Everything else you need to just sort of piece together like the Magpul furniture & trigger guard, upper & lower parts, etc… Then you need to get the lower, upper, rail and can body coated FDE. - $370 - Barrel - $20 - Gas tube - $90 - Keymo Flash Hider - $850 - Sandman - $400 - Tax stamps - $250 - NSR Rail - $290 - Gen 3 Upper Receiver - $200 - Gen 1 Lower Receiver - $200 - Geissele SSA trigger - $65 - Noveske FA, end plate, takedown pins - $65 - Mil-spec LPK - $15 - Port cover - $100 - Noveske marked ACH - $70 - Magpul furniture (SL-K stock, K2 Grip, Trigger Guard) - $60 - Buffer tube, spring, buffer If I'm not forgetting anything off the top of my head, that's $3045 before Cerakote and assembly with can included. In the world of clones, that's not horrible. This is obviously based on retail pricing which might not be doable on things like the lower/upper receivers in the current market. And of course for the rare stuff like the barrel you may end up paying a markup or using an alternative. But there's also other items that can be had on-sale or finding deals elsewhere too. Where it really starts to get expensive is adding the optics, ngal and light. That's an additional $6k minimum. |

Never got a definitive answer before I told them "never mind, they got sold". Initial response sounded like they would repair it. They did ask for some pics and I just gave them the images I saved from the ad. Might be worth firing them an email and asking how far can they generally go. See if they can give you some general guidelines so you can pounce on one before waiting on a response from them. |

Is it very complicated dealing with the itar regulations when shipp8ng the optic to and from Canada? Isn’t there a process/ specific listening required for such a shipment? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dyzastr: That was more than two months ago already. Lol. A month after the first 3 with busted battery compartments and contacts, he posted another 6 or so that were fairly rough but had all compartments, and 1 that looked barely used. Prices weren't to far from most posted in the ee, however they did have the su230 marking and proper reticle. Edit- that’d be interesting to hear if they’d repair ex su230’s like that.

Sonofa.....  IIRC, there's a repair facility in Indiana. Maybe. Not 100% sure. Could be talking out of my 4th point of contact. |
