Thanks

I think they are the best of the mass-produced. Certainly above Colt for fit/finish imho. And yes, they are filling govt. contracts currently. I like them so much I ordered another.

I don't know their lowers, but their uppers are...I've got the 1:7 midlength "Recon," it's accurate and reliable with the dirtiest, nastiest, most anemic Russian crap I can feed it.

It's pure love.

I have one of the Sabre Defence 14.5" M4 Carbines. Very impressed with it.

I was at a trade show and Sabre was there.

I walked up to them and straight out i said. Why are your guys so expensive.

They laughed. They said military grade stuff isn't cheap.

Both good guys to talk to.

I really would like to try a Sabre barrel.

If you see one, get it.

Not too long ago I decided I was going to buy another AR, and I had made up my mind it was going to be a Colt LE6920.  I called around to see what was in stock, and 1 shop said they had one.  I headed on over, planning to buy it.  While holding the Colt, another AR caught my eye on the rack right beside it...it was a new Sabre XR15 flat-top with YHM flip-up front & rear sights.  After handling/inspecting both rifles (and procrastinating) for about 30 minutes, I put the Colt back on the rack.  The Sabre just felt better in my hands, and was hands-down perfect from front to back, inside and out.  I literally chose the Sabre over the Colt LE6920 I had gone there to buy.  I walked out with the Sabre and have no regrets.

I highly recommend Sabre Defence.

I own 3 complete Sabre rifles. I use them for competition and for HD. I have owned Colt, RRA, Bushy, LMT, BCM, among some less regarded brands. Sabre have been the most CONSISTANTLY accurate rifles for me, and have run 100% right from the start.

I recommend them highly, and I trust my safety and my home to a Sabre weapon. I don't think there is a better endorsement than that.

I have read a lot of good stuff about Sabre, found one at a local shop so I went to take a look at it, with the intent of buying it, but the thing had a polymer lower, didn't like that so I passed on it. Whats the deal with the plastic lower on that particular model? Are they any good?

I bought a Sabre AR last week. I have not yet had the chance to get it over to the range, but it feels very well engineered.

My Chiropractor had me go to a gun-show with him to help him find a good AR 1 week ago. I found a Sabre for $1199 (M4 w/ regular handguards and A3 handle). He passed.

Sabre is great stuff and if you find one in stock, BUY IT!

All the Sabres I have seen, and I own 1, seem to be really great rifles.
