Sabre Defence SPR SPR 18 Inch 1:8 Twist 5.56 NATO Rifle

A little disappointed...

A little disappointed in spending nearly 2 grand on this rifle, not to say I will sell it, but wish it had hit a higher benchmark. There were many significant "chinks" in lower receiver, some on rail. Finish not quite what I expected in this price range. My Colt and Smith and Wesson AR's are much nicer in finish. That being said here is the good - Love the length, 18" seems an ideal compromise, like the rail, bipod, stock, sights, all obviously high quality. Comes with decent bag, Otis cleaning kit, dvd on cleaning, and two basic 30 round mags. The 20 rounders would be more appropriate on this model however, as it allows proper clearance with bipod. The trigger pull is much much smoother than my other AR's and love the barrel and muzzle brake. All in all a good deal I think, wish as I said earlier, that more attention to finish was given, not sure who makes their lowers (most companies contract out, not sure if Sabre does). If you factor in the rail, bipod, sights, bag, cleaning kit, bipod mount, socom stock to a basic AR you would still come out ahead NOT buying this particular AR, but there is the stainless 18" barrel. So not sure, make up your own mind, I am happy enough. Now to buy another AR......
