Going back to at least 2014, Oregon’s Noveske shop sold what they called “Chainsaw” parts, limited runs and availabilities of blemished and cosmetically imperfect receivers or handguards sold as a part. However, this week they announced a temporary retirement of the name, saying that moving forward blems would be known as the B-Line, a name that makes more sense.
And the big news? Coming sometime this summer, the Chainsaw line will reemerge as Noveske’s “forged product offering, based on a hybrid of our Gen 1 and Gen 4 designs,” and is being described (by them) as “The People’s Rifle.”
