My New Build

[1kwikGT]

This is my newest build, unfortunatly I didn't know about Sabre Defences problems before. Sbre Defense lower from 556 tactical with magpul buttstock I assembled last night. The upper is an 18" Sabre Defense competition upper. I could n't pass up the deal I got on it at the time. Sorry for the crappy cell pics.

Looks like a couple of winners to me. Just as a heads up though, a couple of people will probably bitch about your grips.

excellent choice. I wouldn't worry in the slightest. My personal opinion is Sabre makes one of the very best AR-15's money can buy. I'm sure just their reputation and namesake will merit someone purchasing them and continuing their product line.

Looks good to me, And whats wrong with the grips?

I still have the factory grip on my long range gun - works just fine. It shows you're not some overindulgent ostentatious AR owner.

Looks nice!! And I still haven't bought another grip for mine so no complaints here!!

I might change the grips eventually but they do not bother me. Hopefully I can get my new one out to shoot this weekend. It was my first time building a lower and it was pretty easy. My friend in Shreveport is a dealer for Sabre so he gets really good deals on their stuff, plus he has some of his own. Both lowers are Sabre but with his stamping on them.

I would really like to get a sabre lower receiver.

lol, ya'll seem a little wound up in this forum. Not 2 days ago, in another thread someone posted a perfectly acceptable weapon and the only gripe was about the grips.

I see nothing wrong with stock either. In fact, based on that thread I went and bought new grips and really am not that impressed. Probably money better spent on a couple boxes of ammo to be honest.

Haha! You know speaking of that! I drove all the way to Cabelas to look at a hogue grip. Because of that thread. To see what the fuss was about. I couldn't justify spending the $20 just for that. My grip works fine.

hehe, nice to know I'm not the only one then. If I'm being honest though, I had been driving around the mesquite area looking for good gun places. (w/ good ammo prices, accessories that I needed...etc) After about the 4th one I just wanted to buy SOMETHING. So I bought that and some metal magazines.

very nice.

that's a might fine looking barrel on the 18". how much does/did a 18" Sabre Defense competition upper cost?

Haha. What's up with the metal mags? Do they load better? I see a lot of people at the range with them. I use pmags and they work great. Just didn't know if they load better? Or cheaper? Or looks?
