Just got this Upper and inspection card is dated 1/10/07 and it appears there is rust starting. Maybe I am seeing things, or it is some sort of compound (glue?) they add? Pic below of the general area, but the pic does not really show it.

Take apart a full barrel assembly that's been parked like this and you'll find small amounts of surface rust on all the areas left in the white. I pulled apart an Eagle AR-10 barrel and found rust like this. I used some PB Blaster and a nylon brush to get rid of rust on mine. I'm sure there's better stuff but that's what I had lying around. After that, I cleaned it off with some lacquer thinner then rubbed some CLP over the all the surfaces. |

I have not seen a Sabre barrel in quite some time and don't remember if they were parked under there or not. In general, the only ones that DO park under the FSB are Colt, CMMG and Bravo Co.. There could be others that I missed, but all the other MAJOR makers (Armalite, Bushmaster, LMT, Olympic, Stag etc...) do NOT park under the FSB. |
I just put a Sabre 20" 1/7 .gov contour barrel on one of my weapons this week, it was parked under the FSB.

Is that Jeff Bridges in the Bowling alley in the Big Lebowski in your avatar? If so, I was standing about 20ft away when they did that shot. Watch the DVD extras and you will see me running a radio controlled camera car chasing bowling balls for that movie... |
Yeah, I have to agree, that the LMT upper I am looking at here looks nothing like the ones that I see on the for sale threads. Could that just be that this one needs wiped down with CLP or are those marks deeper than that and do not disappear with a wipedown?

You beat me to it Denny.  And to the OP, that upper looks rough. If you are not happy send it back. |
That is indeed The Dude. I'll have to look for you on there. |
i been missing alot recently. only gi barrels ive seen were colt or fn. i cant believe they would do it like that. |
