Plan to get a 16" recon midlength polyganol bbl, chainsaw upper.
Anyone got either one for sale lmk. Ill need a bcg also naturally
Cant wait to get this finished:D
What’s so awesome about it? I think it’s awesome-er that I can get a non-blem S&W lower cheaper than a blemished Noveske, but if the Chainsaw blows your skirt up than I’m happy for you 
They make great barrels and I dont want a mismatched gun
I understand the matching thing. I’ve got rifles that I built that the barrels, uppers, lowers, and BCG’s are from the same manufacturer from BCM, Noveske, and DD, as well as complete mutts using primo parts. FWIW the mutts are still my favorites. I’ve seen several Noveske chainsaws and have never seen the blemish, same with the BCM blems.
Mines got a light scuff above the grip mount and very light dimples that would take a hi res cam to capture
I never really understood blemished receivers. Why? I mean by the time Noveske makes a rifle. The rifle gets shipped to the distributor, then to the gun store and is put on the rack and 20 people look at it, it’s got scuffs, scratches, dings and dents.
Any manufacture for that matter. That stuff ever bothered me.
Chainsaw MUR receivers are available.
Chainsaw?
Noveske blem
They should charge more for the blems not less!
What I don’t understand is why the price of a Noveske lower is as high as it is, chainsaw or otherwise.
Especially when you consider who really forges receivers. Noveske has a higher reject rate as their tolerances are higher. But nowadays, all you gotta do is stamp a picture of some lawn and garden equipment on it and sell your garbage off to the masses. Outstanding buisness model. Next time maybe it’ll be the Weed Whacker.

that or a noveske bcg
The $450 bbl I want will have to wait a few weeks
This “same forger” argument does not tell the whole story and is really a misconception. What matters is the spec is was ordered to and who finishes it. Noveske lowers, regardless of who else uses the same forger, are high quality due to strict quality control. They are much more consistent than othe manufacturers that are less strict, which keeps the cost down.
A few companies use FN barrels. Let’s say Centurion and PSA both use FN, for example. I should just assume they’re equally as good? Centurion barrels are 1 MOA capable with the right ammo while being 100% reliable. Let’s say PSA I’d 100% reliable (I have no idea), that doesn’t mean PSA barrels are 1 MOA capable.
“A lower is a lower” is no different than saying an “AR is an AR”. Lowers from the same forger are not the same. neither are uppers, barrels, bolt carrier groups, lower parts kits or receiver extensions.
I’m curious as to where all the other “blem” lowers go?? BCM and Noveske are the only two offering them that I know of. Where do all the blems from Colt, DD, LMT, LaRue, etc… go?
What some companies consider a blem, other companies sell as standard.
For informational purposes where did you come up with this list…is this forgings or machining?
My Colt for example has a Cero Forged ( keyhole) upper and lower and machined by Colt to their tolerances with Colt parts.
The places you list are not “foundries”, they aren’t even close.
It is flat out wrong, he has no idea what he is talking about. There is more and more of this going on here, and it needs to stop.
