So I have found out that Sabre Defence maybe does not exist anymore. If so when and why did they go?  Were their barrels of good quality?

We have a 20 inch CL one in 1/7 twist. It is a brand new I think.. Thanks

They got into legal troubles. They are no longer.

They were only one of three companies to make A4's (along with Colt and FNH).

Guy Savage was an ass. He ruined his company by being unethical and now is in Club Fed.

Sabre's assets were bought and the still make real A4's and M4's. No semi auto's though.

My buddy has a 14.5" barrled with pinned FS to bring it out to 16".  Man, can that barrel shoot.  His cousin was hitting steel at 300 yds with not problems.

I had a 18" SS Sabre barreled upper that I bought from PK firearms.  It was a good barrel and was accurate.

Great one more question.

I think I understand this correctly but should confirm. We have a Non M4 feed ramp receiver and a the 20 inch rifle barrel has the M4 ramps. From what I understand that is acceptable?

I think they say you cannot use a non M4 barrel in a upper receiver with the M4 cuts? Do I have that correct?

Here is what we are putting together for the kid. Installed the FA and door today. BCG hopefully will arrive this week...Thanks

Never shot one. Always read the same thing- they shoot great.

My dad and I both have factory Sabre SBR's. I've got a 10.5 and he has an 11.5

 



Damn good shooting guns, mine has upwards of 30k mostly suppressed through it and still a tack driver




Plus the Thundercat lower is cool

I have a legacy Sabre upper in 6.5G.  It will shoot sub-MOA all day long if I do my part.

The Manroy shop moved into town a couple? of years ago.  There was big hoopla about them refurbing an old weaving mill building.  They moved in a ton of machining equipment and hired a lot of people right off.  Then there were layoffs and I stopped hearing about them.  There are still cars in the parking lot when I drive by and they have a couple types of FFLs listed still, so I guess they are still in business.

Old Pic from 2008, it's a little different looking now. Try to get one or two when I get home.
