IRREGULAR DEFENSE X NOVESKE CHAINSAW 11.5" UPPER - FDE
Noveske RifleworksThe Noveske Chainsaw Irregular Defense 11.5 Upper is a premium complete AR-15 upper receiver assembly built for hard-use reliability, suppressor compatibility and precision performance. Developed in collaboration with Irregular Defense, this upper combines Noveske’s renowned barrel and receiver quality with rugged tactical enhancements and modern suppressor-ready functionality.
At the core is an 11.5-inch 5.56 NATO barrel manufactured from 416R stainless steel with a 1:7 twist rate, hand-polished Noveske Match Chamber and individually serialized QC tracking. The barrel features straight fluting between the chamber and gas block, extended hand-polished feed ramps and a pinned low-profile gas block for maximum durability and consistent performance.
The forged Noveske Chainsaw™ upper receiver is constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hardcoat anodizing followed by durable FDE Cerakote® for enhanced longevity and corrosion resistance. Additional premium features include a Noveske FDE Love Handle ambidextrous charging handle, phosphate-coated full-auto compatible bolt carrier group and CGS SCI-SIX flash hider/suppressor mount.
The upper is completed with a 4th Generation NSR-10.75” free-float M-LOK handguard featuring mounting positions every 45 degrees and a full-length Picatinny top rail. The carefully matched handguard and barrel spacing provide ideal suppressor clearance and optimized suppressor integration.
