0 Adrian Scott Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I believe it means " new old stock " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rnixartillery Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 New Old Stock...................NOS . New parts that have been shelved for many years. Rob................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ajmac Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) You may also see NORS which is New Old Replacement Stock, this is used in America more than here. All this means is that it was made as a pattern part, but donkeys years ago. NOS is great so long as it has been well packaged and stored.

0 andym Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 NOS is great so long as it has been well packaged and stored. There usually isn't a problem with MOD's packaging (see Paul Donovan's recent Clansman video!) but unfortunately some materials such as rubber fail with age regardless of how well they're packed.
