woud you buy a sabre defense rifle?

[Fremmer]

Pretend a sabre defense a4 catches your eye. Ok to buy with the problems they've had? What about warranty concerns? How about their quality?

what is Saber a4?

 

[TXSWFAN]

Their ARs are top notch. As for the rest, I don't hold it against them for violating corrupt laws. The BATFE are the ones that should be in jail.

So the warranty concern seems valid. Sigh......

Absolutely. I had Addax out of Los Angeles build me a custom 14.5" upper a few years ago, specifying a Sabre barrel, in fact. Their barrels are REKNOWNED for quality & accuracy.

Would love to have gotten a Sabre rifle before they went under. If a used one happened along, that hadn't been otherwise abused, much like a Charles Daly, I'd snap it up without a second thought.

I own one an it is by far my favorite AR. Great build quality and one of the best shooting 1 in 7 twist barrels I've shot. My theory on warranty is that if something minor breaks, I have a plethora of parts to choose from. They're easy to work on.

The 68forums link installs a trojan/malware FYI.

Sabre is out of business. My experience is that their quality was pretty poor at the end.
