Just got the rifle, and took PICS. Also put on the MOE rear grip, stock, and Tango Down QD sling adapter upon the buffer tube.
Here are the PICS:
With the parts that I installed:
Upon opening the box I discovered that NOVESKE included some extra goodies, which was nice and appreciated. Unlike the previous rifle, there aren’t any pin holes on the lower, no vise marks on the RH side of the lower receiver’s extension area, and no funny business with the anodizing. Overall this rifle is somewhat better than the previous one, but not without it’s flaws (Parkerizing missing from the bottom of the barrel, pitted upper receiver)
ETA: 11-26-2008
UPDATE: When I received the replacement rifle and noticed the pitting, I emailed NOVESKE about it, and said that I would be ordering a replacement upper and fix the issue myself. Unexpectedly last night I received an email from NOVESKE, and was told that I shouldn’t have had to replace the upper, and to just send the rifle back for repair. I should note that the upper I had originally ordered, was back ordered anyway. I was told that they’ll fix it right, and was dared to find any flaws upon it’s return! This comes as great news, and will be shipping it back early next week. Will keep the thread updated. I was also told that NOVESKE has now completely redone their quality control department to care of these issues from happening again.
Nothing much better than strip-tease gun porn! Congratulations on the new carbine and getting things worked out with Noveske. Nice to see a company stand behind it’s products.
