Let’s be direct about the price: at $2537.99, this isn’t an impulse buy. You’re paying for the Noveske name, their in-house machining, and a barrel that consistently outperforms many competitors. The value play here is that it’s a complete, optimized package. You get the premium barrel and receiver set, plus practical Magpul Pro sights and furniture, so you aren’t buying a bare rifle only to immediately spend hundreds more on upgrades. It’s a rifle that fits out of the box, with no gunsmithing required to get a reliable, accurate setup. The 13.7-inch barrel with a permanently attached muzzle device is a smart configuration, giving you nearly the maneuverability of a short-barreled rifle without the tax stamp wait and paperwork. That’s a practical trade-off that saves you $200 and months of time right from the start.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Infidel is for the shooter who understands diminishing returns but still wants the best core components. It’s for someone who would otherwise build a high-end AR with a Noveske or Criterion barrel, a BCM or SOLGW upper, and quality sights, but prefers the warranty and fit/finish of a factory-built gun. It’s also ideal for Missouri residents who want a serious-duty or competition-ready rifle without the assembly hassle. Compared to building a similar-spec rifle part-by-part, the total can creep close to this price, making the factory-built Infidel a compelling, time-saving option. The rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your local FFL transfer.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Outstanding barrel quality is the main event. The included MBUS Pro sights are a legit upgrade. The pinned 13.7″ setup is a clever, legal shortcut to a handy rifle. Noveske’s fit and finish are top-tier. It’s a complete, no-guesswork package.
Cons: The price tag is a significant hurdle. It’s heavy for a carbine, weighing around 6.5 pounds unloaded. You’re locked into the pinned muzzle device unless a gunsmith removes it. For pure range use, a cheaper rifle with a 16″ barrel might make more financial sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the muzzle device permanently attached?
A: Yes. The muzzle device is pinned and welded to bring the 13.7″ barrel to a legal 16″ overall length, avoiding NFA SBR regulations. This is a common and reliable practice.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With Noveske’s barrel quality and proper ammunition, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is a reasonable expectation. That means capable of groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with match-grade ammo.
Q: Are the Magpul MBUS Pro sights metal?
A: Yes. The MBUS Pro series is made from steel, making them more durable than the standard polymer MBUS sights. They are low-profile and designed to co-witness with optical sights.
Here’s the thing—if your budget allows and you value a rifle built with premium materials that will last a lifetime, the Noveske Infidel package presents a clear value. You’re investing in a tool, not just a range toy. The decision comes down to whether the Noveske pedigree and the included premium upgrades justify the cost over a more basic, but still capable, $1200-$1500 AR-15.
