For those who hadn't heard, John died Friday night in the next town over, Grants Pass, Oregon, when he rolled his 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser and was not wearing a seatbelt. He was 36. All who met him liked him. He built a fine AR.

What a shame...what is it with people...especially the younger crowd with not wearing their seat belts. When you see it...speak up!

WOW! What a waste! Right after his deal with Nosler. I hope his people can hold the company together. They make fine products.

WOW!! I hadn't heard. RIP John. He was great to talk to on the phone. I have one of his 308 uppers and a N4 5.56 upper. His products were (hope still are) something special.

Sad news
RIP and comfort to his loved ones.

Major Bummer!

Noveske will be missed for sure.

I was about to send him an email tonight and ask about business with the Obama talk about guns. Saw on his website 1976-2013! He built my 30.06 and my brother's 270. Shortly after, he stopped with hunting rifles and went full force military style. I am very sad about this. Then I google searched his name and found a couple of articles that mentioned how his death was mysterious....how he hit a couple of boulders on the other side of the road, just days after posting something on facebook about the psych drugs and kids and the shootings.

In an industry that is as cutthroat as they get, no one had anything bad to say about John Noveske.

What more could there be to say?
