Yes- I know there are a couple of threads on the topic, but this one is different. Since bids are due a week from today- February 14th, we want to get the word out there in case any of your spouses are looking for that perfect Valentine's Day gift for you, and you already have everything that you need, today is your lucky day! The site to get all the info you need is here and if you register and put down a deposit, you have a chance at owning your very own turn-key AR manufacturing facility. For those that will be bidding, please try not to drive the price up too much by competing with fellow ARFCOMMers- this deal should go for between $1.5-$2million so let's coordinate here if there are a number of you interested. If you are going to raise money for the buy-out by pre-selling (fully refundable of course) SDI lowers, etc. count me in.

Quoted: Quoted: I would guess that they are just selling machinery and parts that the creditor had a lien on, not any contracts. Machinery and building are all leased, parts and product certainly included, as is the company itself with any assets as well as any contracts (DOD would have the option to continue the contracts or pull out, but that will depend on who purchases it and their negotiation skillz). Let me know, I have a couple of days free next week and access to tractor trailers, it's only about a 13 hour drive one way, assuming everything is still at the place they had rented by the airport in Nashville. |

Their barrels are not that great and will not likely sell very well going forward. The inventory is not worth what it was. Not by a long shot. I don't know if you could even sell a govt profile m4 barrel right now for $100. Maybe not even $50. There is a reason they couldn't get financing. You would need 20k unit contracts to get any bank on board. Do Noveske, BCM, and Centurion combined even reach 20k? And what about Daniel Defense? They have everything in house to crank out endless supplies of parts and rifles to milspec or beyond. How can you compete with them? Not to mention FN, or Glock. |

Sounds to me like the only thing Sabra has to sell,that they own,is their name and any inventory.
The machinery would be the biggest attraction for any bidders,sine there is a LOT of competition in the industry right now. I'm pretty sure you can't sell contracts. |

If an American bids and owns it I hope it goes better
I just can't see them going under???They were just awarded another 6.8Million dollar contract ..Maybe they just decided to go back to the UK for the change of weather I am not sure how transferable the DoD Contracts are but IF you were the new owner.You would be knee deep in Ma-Deuce barrels through the year until December. Just me speculating but maybe they couldn't meet the demands of the contracts and called it a day??..who knows?? I'd like to work for the new owners ,building/testing/developing new toys in their R&D section under American patriots from Arfcom..First order of business would be a shoulder fired,3-4 barrel,portable,battery pack powered,injection molded w/titanium heat shield,Gatling-Gun which was fed by,P90 type mags.. I guess I will have to wait until the lottery calls my numbers..What a shame!! Good luck to you wealthy guys..Here is a chance to own your very own machine gun outlet mall.. Boy,Oh Boy..I hope someone who lives in TX makes the right decision...Because,such as aforementioned,I can sure use a great job and being,at least, local enough, I can start as soon as the check clears.

Doesn't ARFCOM (the site/company, not the collective members) want to enter a bid?... 
Add the rifles to the Site Store and keep it all "in the family" so to speak?
 We did, but they needed $100K deposit and all we had were $1million bills. 
Honestly, if someone has that kind of $ and is looking to get into the industry, this is an excellent opportunity to get a bargain. Not only is there more than enough inventory to cover the purchase price, but there are military/gov contracts that are likely salvageable and the opportunity to get your money back in less than 6 months is more than realistic. Sabre not only manufactures for these contracts and their own sales, but they make products for a large number of major manufacturers including many on this site. E.D. - You're makin' it sound sweet. Mark, you ain't got a hair on your ass if you can buy this company and don't.

I'm not sure what LaRue stands to really gain outside of the dollar value of the inventory. LaRue isnt going to get a better name in the industry than what they already have and they obviously already have the machines anyways. Might be a cheap way to expand current operations but hell why not save the 2 million, buy a few lathes in house and start turning out LaRue barrels? |

The way I see it, Texas still owes its existance to Tennessee seeing as it was some old Tennessee boys that went down there and kicked some ass. Larue, I'll cancel the debt if you open up a Tennessee division and crank out Tennessean made ARs. I'd be first in line.
Here's looking at you, Mark.
