About This Firearm
The Noveske N4 Diplomat 7.94" SBR is a billet-receiver .300 Blackout short-barreled rifle built for suppressed hunting and home defense. It has an MSRP of $2,950. With the stock collapsed it measures 21.25 inches and weighs 5.3 lbs dry, so a day pack swallows it.
Magpul MBUS Pro steel sights come installed front and rear, so the rifle is sighted as it arrives, and the Picatinny top rail stays free for an optic. The Radian Talon selector is ambidextrous and throws 45 or 90 degrees. Noveske's Pig Pen muzzle device sits past the end of the handguard with clearance back to the thread shoulder, leaving a suppressor room to seat.
If you're cross-shopping, the Noveske Chainsaw SBR has an MSRP of $1,800 and shares this rifle's barrel length, trigger and stock, but it arrives with forged receivers, a flash hider, no sights and a single-sided selector. The Q Honey Badger has an MSRP of $2,799, a 7 inch barrel with a 1:5 twist, and weighs 4.8 lbs in a 24.75 inch package, so it saves 0.5 lbs of carry weight.

Strengths & Limitations
- The B5 Systems Bravo stock and type 22 grip come fitted, so the furniture is not a mil-spec placeholder to replace.
- The handguard carries M-LOK positions all the way around at 45 degree spacing, so a light does not have to sit flat on the left side.
- The bolt is phosphated Carpenter 158 steel and magnetic particle inspected before it leaves the shop.
- The Pig Pen is built to work with a can on it, so the rifle makes more sense once a suppressor is in hand.
- One magazine ships with it, which is thin at this price.
- The handguard is short, so there is little rail forward of the gas block and a hand stop or light sits close to the receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions
What finishes does the Diplomat come in?
Armor Black Cerakote is the base finish and the one priced here. Noveske also builds it in FDE, Bazooka Green, Sniper Grey and Tiger Eye Cerakote, all of which cost more than the black gun.
Does it take standard AR-15 magazines?
Yes, it feeds from AR-pattern magazines, and the one in the box is a 30 round Gen 3 PMAG marked for .300 Blackout, not a 5.56 body.
What does the dry weight figure include?
Noveske's 5.3 lbs is the bare rifle with no magazine, optic, light or suppressor on it. A loaded magazine, a red dot and a can together add more than a pound, so set it against another maker's dry figure and not a loaded one.
