Anyway, with a serial number of 000177 it must be one of the first 8000 the Air Force took delivery of around 1961-62, well before the AR15 was designated as the M16.
Looking at it, it is amazing shape after 50 years. I'm impressed with the fit of the receivers, which look like they remained a matched set over the years. As I remember upon close inspection they thought only the bolt and a few small parts had been replaced.

Noveske just introduced new lower receivers. Initially they will only be available on complete rifles but later this year stripped lowers may be introducted. Article link - Military Times Gear Scout

Impressive. And thank you for the pictures Quentin. But this smacks of the same exact thing that LaRue did two years ago, and look at Diggs' problems of late. 
I hope these boys are of a little better moral quality and not just in it for a short run.
Damn good looking kit though.

Noveske is the ****e. This is a forged reciever as well which IMO is much better than a billet.
The problem is you'll only be able to get them on complete rifles for quite some time.
