This build all started when I saw byggpoppa had a Noveske lower setup as a pistol forsale. So with out thinking it through I bought it, met him, he said good bye to it in what can only be called a disturbing way. As my family and I pulled away the better half asks what I am gonna do with it. Wow hadn't even thunk about it. Lower came with a pistol tube and Spikes lower pack installed and a Spikes T2 buffer and spring and a Olive drab Magpul Miad. Grip got robbed for other gun replaced with balck.
Engraving for form 1 was done by SP3worker and it is awesome.
Well I first knew I wanted it to stay Noveske and I knew I wanted something short like 7.5" Diplomat short and after research decided that I would build it into an SBR. So taking to the task of researching the crap outta SBR ARs I finally came to the conclusion that a 10.5" fit what I wanted to do better and would allow a silencer to be used with out any warranty problems on the silencer. Only problem was I loved the look of the 7.5" Diplomat with the monolithic VIS upper and how it tuckec up to the KX3 then I found the 10.5" Lo-Pro VIS uuper same look longer barrel perect.
I ordered the upper from Noveske off his website and a Tshirt and a week later I get a box with this in it. Side note on the shirt they sent the wrong one and I emailed them and they sent out a new one free. Sheri at Noveske rocks and so does the company as a whole.
Open it up and there it is the most beautiful upper ever
The upper feels super solid and is a great size and as ESRICE has said I am ruined with 16" uppers.
So that is where I am at the rifle will be setup with a Magpul UBR, Eotech XPS2-0, Magpul Miad, Noveske marked Troy backup sights.
Cost of Project
Used Novekse lower: 275
Engraving by Sp3worker: 35
Magpul Miad: 25
Magpul UBR: 240
Noveske 10.5 VIS upper: 1240
Noveske iron sights: 199
Eotech XPS2-0: 450
Total spent with out tax stamp and misc goodies: $2464
Thats only $249 more than the retail on Noveske's site and I get an optic.
I will update with info as it changes and I add things
