Someone said that Sabre Defense won a contract to start supplying the US Military with M-16/M4's along with Colt and FN.  Don't know if its true or NOT.

I do know that Sabre Defense does supply barrels for other US Military weapons and machine guns.  I have read news articles that they have received special recognition from the government for their manufacturing processes that resulted in significantly improving the accuracy of the US Military weapons that received their new barrels.

Most people are going to agree, they are a safe bet to get a good quality barrel for your AR.

Sabre defence is supplying complete rifles for the military now. You can read it on their website.    Against the advice of several on  this and other forums i  recently purchased one with a polymer lower that they designed  for fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. I love it. They make a very solid product.

Excellent barrels. I have a 10.5" I just bought. Extremely impressed with the quality, and cannot wait to shoot it.

I got a Sabre from Midway a couple weeks ago.  It is the 24" bull fluted stainless steel with gas block and tube.  It has a bead-blasted or rough surface that is definitely not shiny.  I had the Remind setting going, so it popped up on my email.  I had it maybe two minutes later.  $370 to my door.  What surprised me is the extension has M4 feed ramps.  Not crazy about that, but overall I'm happy.

Is THIS the barrel? If so I am buying one and thought they did NOT have M4 extensions, in fact the Sabre website does not even mention M4 ramps. Is yours the "Heavy Bench Target" model? This is odd...

EDIT: Is yours the "Varmint" model...the one right below the Heavy Bench Target model on the Sabre website. That one is 24" and HAS the M4 ramps.

For the 3rd time in a month, I don't think much of their barrels.

What has been your experience to make you feel this way? Or are you just saying they aren't bad, but they aren't that great either?

Sabre, unlike many AR builders, is a REAL DOD contractor.

Sabre quality is the real deal.

I understand your upset with the company, but had the barrel run correctly out of the box, would you recommend them?    What is your opinion of the barrels finish and overall quality?  Any problems in the accuracy department when compared to similar barrels?

We have a couple rifles now approaching 45,000 rds.  Still sub-MOA rifle.

Yes the Barrels are made of Vanadium. The only material rated for sustained .50 cal fire. And the only one allowed by the military.
Yes they are a DOD contractor
Yes they make the strongest/longest lasting barrel's on the market
Yes they make the Barrels for the M2 .50 and are the only manufacturer that has the material to make it.
Yes they make the M134 barrels.  + others we can not say!
In our opinion they are the best barrels on the market for the M4/M16 platform.
They out shoot all our other barrel manufactures. And we carry all the top ones!
