Latest Acquisition

[Asmodeus]

Well, actually, it's not that simple. The gun pictured is a post-sample Noveske Leonidas 7.62. Noveske is temporarily out of the 7.62 business, and I've been wanting to build an SBR AR10. When I saw the gun pictured for sale on an NFA board (Sturm) I emailed the dealer and asked him if he was willing to part it out. He told me he'd would do it as a complete kit with every except the FA receiver, for $1800 (the magnifier and laser were also not included at that price).

So for $1800 delivered I'm getting the following:

Complete Noveske 12.5" Leonidas Upper
Surefire FH762K flash hider (which I'll replace with the Phantom mount for my can)
Aimpoint Comp M2
GG&G canteliver QD mount
GG&G Flip up BUIS
GG&G Flip up front sight
TD VFG
Ergo Pistol grip
VLTOR EMOD
5 AR10 20 round mags
Single point sling adapter
Complete AR10 LPK
Geiselle SSF full auto match trigger


F1 has already been sent in for one of my existing AR10 receivers, so I should be good to go in a month or two. I'm still trying to decide if I want to strip the finish off these components or do my existing receiver to sort of match and blend it together.

I don't want half that garbage but man that is a great deal. Especially with the Comp M2 in there. Nice rifle.

Looks like you got a great deal! Very nice.

i would strip that ugly ass finish off the rifle the instant i took possession of it. other than that it looks like you got your money's worth.

The finish was the only thing about the deal that gave me pause, but even after factoring in the cost of a complete refinish,it was too good a deal to pass up.

It's Avero paint over Duracoat, so refinishing will be interesting. I might just end up attempting to match my receiver to it.
