I have a sabre 16"middy-govt and consider it a great value in that type of barrel...but for another $50 i could have bought Denny's operator barrel, damnit.hinking.gif
No experience with cmmg...no comment. Just curious, why carbine? Have you considered mid-gas? |

I have thought about a middy but I kinda like the CAR something just said CAR to me, is a middy more reliable? I am using this for a home defense and for fun at the range. I would like non SS barrel

yeah, I'm getting away from the stainless and leaning more towards chromelined-4150cv steel barrels. I just don't like the way a 16" sits out past carbine handguards...though i own one.hmid gas systems allow longer lockup and softer gas impulse...more reliable? never had any problems with any of my carbine or middy gas systems.

I vote for Sabre, just because I have 2 of their uppers and so far they have been great.

OK well I had my mind made up on one of these barrels picked out the CMMG called was not in stock, so guess what I bought... an Operator middy barrel from Denny @ GTS completly different from what I planned on, and I think I made the right choice it is a work of art, fit perfect with my CMT M4 upper. I ordered it and it was on my door step in 2 days. now all I have left to buy is BCG from Denny's, Charging handle, rear sight and all the other stuff I want. I have the barrel parts in route to me with temporary handgaurds untill I decide on what 4 rail HG I want, pics to come soon.

I've read great things about both barrels so I don't think you'd lose either way.

Sabre!
I have three of their barrels and they are excellent. Don't trust CMMG at all. |

I had a Sabre 1/9 middy and now have a CMMG 1/7 middy.
Both excellent barrels. I would gladly buy from either again in the future. |

I'm not running a grenade launcher so I'm not buying anymore M4 profile Brls.
Two saber Defense Brls i really like are their 14.5" 1:9 Govt contour w/ extended A2 and their 16" 1:7 Govt contour. Can I ask why the 2-piece handguards with a 16" Brl? The two piece units are really a solution for the problem of a perm attached muzzle devise. With a 16" Brl you can go with any of the one piece units. |

True. But a barreled upper from Dennys is $722.00 16" Operator brl W/ Gas tube $350.00 M4 Upper $99.00 Larue 9" Rail $273.00 A barreled upper from PK using, Sabre Defense 1:7 Govt contour M4 Upper Troy 9" Rail. $599.00 I'm still trying to decide between those two myself. I dont think the operator build is going to be worth $123.00 more necessary. but i'm still undecided. |

For a free float... I'd personally go with the Sabre Mid-Length and free float that.

I shopped around for awhile and ended up going with a Sabre from PK. I've only got about a 100 rounds thru it so far but could not be happier. For what you get it's a great price.
Middy,1/7 chrome lined, government profile, F marked FSB, Troy 9" rail - $599 http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k56/terrance250/FB1.jpg |

I'm going to get a 20" Sabre 1/7 from Pk Firearms. Haven't heard any thing negative about Sabre Defense and I've been following the threads looking for awhile. As far as the Denny's Operator.. I have 2 and for a midweight 16" barrel it cannot be beat.

Would love to see a side by side comparison of the Operator Brl Vs the Saber defense 16" middy for accuracy and reliability. the cost difference is significant. |
