Two heavyweights within their respective parts of the industry have come together for another groundbreaking project. Noveske and Superior Defense are proud to unveil the new 12.5” NODEF 6.5 Creedmoor N6, a collaboration that promises to be bigger and better than ever.
The new 12.5” NODEF pistol stands out in the market for its unique build. Few AR-10s with a 12.5” barrel exist that are chambered in the ballistically efficient 6.5 Creedmoor. This collaboration is an upgrade from their previous 2020 project, the 10.5” shorty on Noveske’s N4 platform. The new NODEF pistol utilizes Noveske’s N6 platform, designed for larger calibers. It features Noveske’s 12.5” Leonidas barrel with an 8-twist 3-land Semi-Poly rifling, offering a compact size while maintaining long-distance shooting performance.
Below is the product introduction and features from Noveske on the 12.5” NODEF 6.5 Creedmoor N6.
Product Introduction
The NODEF is back and bigger than ever. This year’s collaboration with Superior Defense moves to the N6 platform from the previous N4 10.5” Shorty done in 2020. The N6 features a 12.5” Leonidas barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with an 8-twist 3-land Semi-Poly rifling, maintaining a compact size while offering enhanced long-distance shooting capabilities. To top it off, we finished this Leonidas in a green anodized coating to give it a striking look.
The NODEF pistol will be available on July 29th at 10 am PST on the Noveske website, with NODEF collaboration apparel available for presale from July 26th to July 29th at supdef.com. An exclusive NODEF hat will come with all pistols.
