Sabre Defence m16a3 anybody got any knowledge to share?
« on: January 02, 2020, 09:10:31 PM »
I recently bought a NOS Sabre Defence M16A3 (minus the lower-that had to be destroyed under ATF supervision). From what i gather, the a3 was safe/fire/full auto version of the a4 and Sabre made less than 800 of these for the Navy. Everything (cage codes and such) looks legit and it is a sweet looking rig. I just put it on a lower that i had and took it to the range today. Seems to be a sweet shooter, out of the box, so to speak-more accurate than I am. There is not alot of info out there on the interwebs from people that actually have them or know much about them. Just Sabres decline from a run in with the BATF for selling m16's overseas. Just wondering if any of you folks are familiar with Sabre-good or bad?

I'm not sure if it's the same company, but the ONLY thing I know anything about is the one piece poly lowers I had marked Sabre Defense Industries. They are different, but not bad.

I had a Saber 18inch 556 BBL I built into a complete rifle. Great BBL and super accurate. Yea they were a Military Contractor I believe but did stupid things and got caught!  :o I never saw or knew they made a poly lower but know there forged lowers were good to go and had a Cat Logo, kinda like a Saber Tooth tiger I think, only saw pic's on their website but never bought one. Anyways BBL was great and ran fine but sold/traded it years ago.
