This barrel is way overpriced and the gas port is huge compared to other 13.7 barrels. Way over gassed and needs a heavy buffer to function properly. Only positive for me was the barrel was very accurate. I really wish Noveske would have used a smaller gas port size and this barrel would be perfect. I removed the Noveske barrel and reinstalled my 13.7 FN barrel which has a much smaller gas port size and functions flawlessly. I really wish I could return this barrel to Optics Planet. Don’t waste your money!

Noveske makes arguably the best AR barrels on the market, and the CHF Chrome Lined Lo-Pro line are my go to for builds. In my opinion, the 14.5 is compromise between adequate velocity and maneuverability in close quarters.

I bought this barrel thinking it would be a lot more accurate then the faxon barrels I usually buy, i can't really tell any difference between them accuracy, the milling on the faxon barrels looks better. Cold hammer forged is nice, also with a chrome lining that stays very accurate. I would recommend but if you don't have the extra money get a criterion.
Pros:
- Chrome lining and still accurate
Cons:
- Visually no different then a barrel that is 400 dollars less
Would recommend: Yes

I bought a Noveske 14.5" Chrome-Lined Mid-Length Skinny Barrel in 2014, and it has performed flawlessly. This barrel is marked "(Noveske symbol) MP 5.56 NATO 1/7". This Skinny model is very lightweight, and it comes with a low-profile gas block that is match drilled. It includes a pin to pin it in place for a robust attachment, as well as set screws if you choose to use them. This barrel has been plenty accurate paired with an Aimpoint T-2.
Would recommend: Yes

I admit I’m a Noveske fan boy, but I love this barrel. Noveske barrels have that little attention to detail that give me peace of mind. Pair that with their great gas block, it’s a no brained every time I’m in the market for a new CHF barrel.
