Any experience with Sabre Defence? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hello all,

I've been looking around at a few different uppers (LMT, CMMG, Noveske) and I saw that Sabre Defence has a positive reputation, if a little pricey. So I'm confused as to the price of this MID-LENGTH upper from PK firearms. Is this legit? Has anyone done business with PK firearms? And how does this particular model stack up as a home defense, SHTF rifle? Thanks once again.

Looks nice but after you add options you will pay as much as a new rifle complete in some brands.

Also check out CMMG upper assemblies. They are very good quality and cheaper than SD.

True... Adding a RRA BCG and charging handle brings it up to $565 with the comparable CMMG at $525 but I'm willing to pay the difference if the SD has an edge on reliability and/or accuracy. Thoughts?

I don't have one, but a good friend of my is one of their sponsored shooters and they build their competition model to his specs and he has been very happy with them.

My only experiance sadly is not getting to the store quick enough to buy the last one- and what i've read about htem- as we all know opinions about guns are well plenty, and I can't recall one negative comment about Sabre- it was my 2nd choice to CMMG and sadly- someone beat me to it at my local cabelas.

The thread "so you think you wanna buy an AR" was orginally posted on officer.com -jwise the poster, updated it there with pictures and a full review- his department got one for t&e- still only good things about it.

I have experience with Sabre and PK Firearms. Both are great. That upper is an excellent choice. Personally I would get it without a BCG and get one from BCM instead.

Thanks for the advice!

I don't think I've seen a single negative on Sabre. Good luck

I have a sabre lower receiver. Finish is excellent and all the DPMS LPK parts fit fine.
