Hello,

I'm on the verge of buying a PSA Sabre M4A1. They come in two barrel  lengths, a "in house" PSA CHF/CL 14.5" and a FN CHF/CL 16". I would prefer the 14.5" with the PSA barrel however, the 16" with the FN barrel is tempting me. Is there any difference between the two barrels other than the length as they are both CHF and CL? I have read in places that both barrels come from FN but PSA brands the 14.5" as in house PSA made? Also are either barrels marked FN or PSA?

Thanks.

I'm looking at these as well. Doesn't the psa barrel have the socom profile and the fn have government? Curious if the psa socom profile has the accuracy characteristics of other socoms....

PSA's website says both are "M4 Profile"

The FN version will most likely have an FN logo on it. The PSA barrels are in fact made by PSA.

Any Idea as to the steel grade on the PSA 4150 or 4140?

Is there any chance that the PSA 14.5 CHF barrel assembly would be available for purchase without the upper in the future?
