I also had an out of spec forged Noveske lower but it was a “blemished” one so they couldnt do anything for me. I like their barrels but I would personally go elsewhere for anything beyond that. I think they went down the whole “lifestyle” path after John Noveske died.

Ok, I get what you’re saying. Been many times I’ve told people to take the radiator cap off their car and drive another one under it. Soooo… for the sake of knowledge, what’s the issue with the lower and upper? Is it a sloppy machining thing? Poor heat treat on the aluminum? Poor grade aluminum?
I’m a tech by profession and by nature so these are the questions that keep me awake at night.

White Oak has some excellent barrels also. I put a White Oak SPR profiled 18in in my MK12 build and have shot comps with it. Hand loads give me .5-.75MOA all day long and good factory match stays at 1MOA all day long.

Aluminum is not of the quality that everyone else is using. Way behind in the times. The anodizing is really poor as well. Machining leaves a LOT to be desired… small parts can break… watch the bolt catch. Premature wear, even with lots of lube.
Think of it this way… it is a 1990s Ford Taurus… compared to a 2019 Toyota Tacoma…

I see. A barely capable alloy. Explains why people have said the pin bosses will crack. No fixing interior metal. Thanks for the input. If I were to build one, what do you recommend that wont break the bank? Not looking to build a 1K yard competition rifle. But, it should be something worth trusting your life with.

Best bang for the buck is Aero Precision hands down… quality in their materials and machining. They do a great job with anodizing too.

I might get removed or even banned for bringing up this older thread… but i mine as well try.
I can tell you certainly have a good knowledge base on firearms, and i would like to ask how many CZ’s you see come in with problems? I love the CZ platform and will most likely purchase a czp01 here soon. thank you

I do not see a lot come in. But I have Cerakoted a few of them. Not impressed with quality control.

Yessir, the very best way to avoid failure is to have a spare.
Works every time.
When I regularly competed in the action pistol games, I always had a spare one in the truck.
Never had a single failure.

I still hold the same stance on this though. If yiu buy quality, the likelihood of needing a spare is GREATLY reduced.
When a fail zero BCG will run at a machine gun range for 80K rounds… and a Spikes Tactial failed at 20K… and they were HAPPY about that… what would you much rather run?

Here is a great product that works… KYNshot…
Hydraulic buffers.
I’m now running one in my personal LWRC and yes, it does make a difference.

How does it work and why is it better?

One of the top few most unreliable problem causing parts ever made for the AR platform.

@jtallen83 I take it you don’t care for them?
The concept seems like it would work. Not sure it lives up to the claims. No experience with them at all so I don’t know enough to say anything.
