Satain, Epoxy also has an unfired Stag and Armalite to sample as well.........
For a single guy he sure has quite the collection of fine unfired rifles. Kind of makes one wonder what he does with all that free time.
Beep Beep, Beyatch!
LMT or Noveske???

Basically it is come down to this in my desicion process...
KAC lower I really dig.
LMT upper that uses milspec inter-changeable parts..
Noveseke barrel...
So I have one last question for you all. Do you think it's possible to slap all 3 of these items together? If so were can I get the parts in Canada then?

Kac lower from ost, the rest from questar.
Curious where you saw announcement of this? I'd like to see what their new offering looks like and if there are other changes. Personally I do not care for all the swivel mounts on their lowers, bit overkill then again I am no Commando so maybe military wise there is actual sense and use to such a design not certain. Thanks.
HOW ABOUT NEA AR 15 ? I THINK IS A NICE RIFLE
He wants one without a 20lb trigger and that is made to a high standard, NEA assembled in Canada casting from china, cough cough is a mid ranged AR at best from what i have seen so far
Beter yet why not Dlask or ATRS instead then???????

Shot show. There's plenty of different setups including modular rails. The 11.5 looks to have a URX rail.

The heavy trigger was addressed by NEA; they are using lighter springs now. I don't think anyone is arguing that the NEA-15 is a high end AR, it is priced accordingly.

ATRS and Dlask are FAR beyond NEA in this regards
I would not place Dlask AR's anywhere near the same level as ATRS. Dlask AR's have dimensional and hardness issues. I have built 5 of them and 4 of the receivers needed detent holes machined larger to fit a USA made LPK. The fifth had an out of spec mag well - worked fine with GI mags but would not accept a Pmag or 9mm adaptor block.
Your mileage may vary, but this has been my experience.
I've never had a soft one personally, but there were reports of early Dlask lowers being made of the wrong allow and pin holes egging out.
That being said all my Dlask lowers did eventually work OK after I reworked them and made nice AR's. I shouldn't have to r-emachine a new lower though...
Source pls? Gotta call BS here in the absence of proof to the contrary. NEA has stated MANY times in their ad copy all parts are north american sourced.
If you can pls direct me to evidence of chinese castings being used by NEA, I will gladly stand corrected, otherwise...

Well true, I have a 14.5 ATRS here and honestly I may need to see what the fuss is about on Noveske, but in quick comparison of what I have seen I don't know how Noveske is better then what ATRS builds, there is not one machine flaw on my ATRS and the function is perfect. The magwell is as large as Gen 2 Noveskes, the overall fit is perfect. I understand Noveskes claims on their barrels, however if you are sourcing best you can get anyhow, how is it other then the Iron Cross on the side that really sets them apart, that and their name? Again I myself haven't owned my own Noveske but am failing to understand what really sets them far beyond anything else...
look like no 1 here like NEA AR 15 and why is that ?
I think they look like good rifle to me but
There is COR15 AR look very nice..
That's not the case, this is about what the OP has for funds and wishes to go higher end, nothing more at all.
I have a local here who has a NEA, for the price looks and handles decent, but in comparison to even my RRA the fit and finish is below that by a fair bit to my RRA. Again nothing negative towards NEA, but again the original poster has listed their budget which is high so the offerings of many here are the higher cost rifles...

Fair enough,
Noveske is all about their barrels. The name Noveske is known by many to represent the very definition of quality and quality control. The QC processes they use in their manufacturing are what puts them a step above. Noveske is now making a lot of their own parts, bolts, carriers, lowers, switchblocks, rails, some LPK parts and of course their barrels (stainless & hammer forged)
The other parts Noveske sources are form some of the best machine shops in the USA, Vltor being one of those companies who's reputation was built on quality, so to me incorporating the best of both makes sense. Other brands like Troy, AAC, Magpul etc. are also featured on certain models, again top manufacturers, so I don't see the problem.
As far as their barrels go, it's their treatment and manufacturing processes that set them apart.

I think NEA can answer that???
Please stop with the bottom tier NEA, Core & other products.
If you have another top tier AR15 platform please inform me on what the likes and dis-likes are. Cause so far I am looking at getting a KAC lower with an LMT upper and buying a Noveske barrel & hoping that there is a company out there that can install it.

They have at least twice in the quick search on CGN I just did. They state all their parts are made either in Canada or US.
At this stage, it looks like their word against yours. Maybe you are right - I have no special knowledge of where NEA sources those parts they don't make in-house, but you have presented nothing to back up your claims and they are in conflict with what the manufacturer advertises.
If you believe they are lying, I would love to know why??
