Big Bummer in the AR World
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 9:41 am
On Saturday (1/6/13) John Noveske was killed in an auto accident here in Oregon. John of course was the man behind the Noveske AR, and the maker of the Nosler Varmageddon AR rifle.
Details from the OSP Website:
Fatal Traffic Crash - Highway 260 west of Grants Pass - 01/05/13
Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday night's single vehicle fatal traffic crash along Highway 260 (Lower River Road) west of Grants Pass that resulted in the death of a Grants Pass man.
According to Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected.
NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was not using safety restraints and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
OSP troopers from the Grants Pass and Central Point offices are continuing the investigation. Trooper Ryan Neuenschwander is the lead investigator.
OSP was assisted at the scene by Rural Metro Fire Department, ODOT and AMR ambulance. No photographs for release.

One of my sons, Dave (Mr. Glock), with his Noveske AR on his bench in the rat patch:
In the AR world, John's rifles were among the very best, used personally by Operators in very dangerous places worldwide. Not really the kind of news I like to share. We are diminished.
