Hi all. I'm about to purchase a 20" gov't profile upper receiver assembly. I'll be ordering from PK Firearms. It's a toss up right now between a Bushmaster barrel upper, or a Sabre Defence one. I've had good experience with Bushmaster uppers, but like what Sabre Defence has to offer: parkerized under the FSB, M4 cuts, and "F" marked front sight. Does anyone have any experience with Sabre Defence and what kind of quality I can expect from them?

Sabre Defence Inc is worlds ahead of Bushmaster.
I would say that their bbls are without a doubt one of the best on the market.
Deal with SDI in confidence.

Well thats good news.  I bought one not really knowing what I was getting into, only because it was exactly what I was looking for.

Sounds good to me!  I'll let you all know once I get it.  I tried searching for Sabre Defence and SDI, but my search fu must suck.  I found only 3 threads, and none of them addressed people's experience with SDI.

Looked for it again and I could not find it.  Must have seen it buried in another titled thread.  Anyway, I know they talked very highly of it.  I have two - one on a BM and one on a RRA.  Love 'em both.

We are very fond of SDI products.  We, and our customers, have found these barrels to be very accurate.

+1

Also both Talon Arms and PK Firearms are good people.

I can especially recommend Talon Arms, as they had most everything I needed for my mid-length build this past spring.

I have almost 800 rounds though my Gov't Profile mid-length and have recommended SDI to my friends to want build their own/buy complete uppers.

Buy in confidence.

big +1 for Robert at Talon and PK

or...  you could just get mine off EE (shamless plug) If this one does not sell - it will be built on another rifle.

Love my current SDI barrel that I put on a BM lower/upper.  Have a few rounds through it and will not look back.  I am sure there are other makers out there that are great - but I found something I am completely satisfied with and do not plan on switching makers for a while.

Thanks for the reply everyone.  I was wanting to get the A3 20" SDI upper from Talon Arms, but it appears they only stock the 1/9 version.  I was looking for a 1/7.    Maybe I'll give PK a try.

The guys at Talon can either order or make up anything you might need.  That said, if you can find what you are looking for with PK, give 'em a call.
