| I can't find info or opinions about Sabre Defence' rifles on ar15.com...why? |

ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=12&t=248300 Sabre has only been active in the US market that I have been aware of for a few years. Dealers on this site only started selling Sabre products under that name in the past 6 months or so. I have heard that the products are high quality, but I have not personally seen any of their products outside of a trade show. |

The only Sabre Defence available for now are 16" midlength 1/7 and all kinds of 1/9 barrels/ uppers from Talon Arms and maybe some other sellers at the Equipment Exchange section. They are taking orders for the 16" 1/7 midlength upper halfs which is due out sometimes this month. The full complete rifles could be ordered now from the noted dealer. Here's a couple of threads about Sabre's midlength barrels. Sabre Midlength Barrels thread link My LMT(Lauer)/ CMT/ Sabre Mid-length Carbine thread link |
| Hello. I have also tried to find info about Sabre. There is not many people who have tested the guns it seems. I have shot a standard Sabre with 20" barrel, no freefloat. It had very good accuracy, and easily shot within one MOA with match ammo. I have not tried enough rounds to give you anything more specific about the accuracy. |

We are very happy with Sabre Defence. the quality is outstanding and the customer service is top notch. Sabre is not as well know as some of the other big names but that is simply because they are newer. Their main business is as a DOD contractor for M2 machineguns and barrels. We have had great sucess with their barrels and uppers. We will be adding a few additional products to the line up very soon. Stripped Lowers and 20" 1/7 barrels are on the way. TalonArms.com |

I got a 1/7 twist mid-length barrel from Talon Arms and am very pleased with it. When I was sighting my EOTech in at 50yds, I ran a box of 62gr Wolf through it and that resulted in my best group of the day. IIRC, center to center was about .75"for that 5-shot group. That would roughly translate to about 1.5" at 100yds. Not bad, in my opinion. Hell, that's great with Wolf. Unfortunately, I ran completely out of ammo after I got the EOTech zeroed and I haven't had the time or money to get any more ordered. WIZZO |
| The major difference from the origional factory bushmaster upper I had on my rifle and the sabre barrel I ordered from Talon Arms was the smoother and cleaner looking finish on the sabre barrel. From what I can tell, top notch machining and finish, they really know their shit. |
