30 rounds huh!

Yep! 30rds equals one full magazine. Well for me they equal 3 since we have a 10rd limit per. I'm sure you have a different opinion so I'll play... How many rounds do you count till you are satisfied there are no major flaws on a brand new custom upper before you feel okay about yours?
I am with your opinion. Right out of the box however I just like to take extra percaution and watch for major mechanical error as I believe anything seriously wrong hopefully will happen right away. Finding your rifles tolerances in ammo and cycle rates does take time and can be worth adjustments to achieve ones own level of worthiness.
Guys, does anybody know what the story is on the SDI barrels being sold by PK? I just got one, and I'm more than a little concerned after reading some of the comments on here.
Looking at Talon Arms website, it looks like they were selling what they call a 'special run' of the 16" middie barrels for $315 (special price). PK has the barrel for $329, so I figured it must be the same thing. Based on what you guys were saying about the pricing, these barrels must not be the standard SDI stuff. What in the world is going on?
Man, I'm getting quite discouraged trying to get myself a 16" middie that I can count on for HD. After having problems with 'built' uppers, I decided to just put my own upper together with the parts I want. The barrel is proving to be a problem because I already had a different one with an issue, so I got the SDI from PK. Now it sounds like I still don't have what I wanted or thought I was getting. :mad:
You won't know until you shoot it. I would not get discouraged or upset just because of something you read on the errornet, the proof will be in the pudding. PK has been selling these for a long time now, I think if there were major problems you'd hear more about it (and Sabre would stop selling to PK. Why would Sabre continue selling to them to PK if they had a bad rep of putting them together, damaging Sabre's name?) They also sell the M4 and 20" govt profile most of the time too, I don't think they're "special runs" or seconds or something, not when they almost always have them in stock, and I have a hard time believing Sabre would allow it to continue if there were some sort of major issues. Shoot yours and let us know how it does.

Here is a cut an paste email I received from Paul. He can't post a reply to defend himself, so I thought I would throw this out to the forum.
Also here is what Paul sent me....

Now for all those guys that hide behind the keyboards and that think that Paul is a sneaky or less than honest dealer....take note.
He is offering black hawk 8888 a free Sabre upper and he can decide for himself the kind of company PK Firearms is.
For those that may wonder, I am not now, nor have I ever been employed by PK Firearms.
He is just a guy I met at the gun show many years ago and now value as a friend. If he could post here, he would defend himself.

I bought my 16in Sabre upper from PK. I had a great experience with them, they were very helpfull. I ordered the upper on a Thursday and received it the following Tuesday. The quality is outstanding, and the finish matches my Sabre lower perfectly. I have around 1200 rounds through it including Wolf, UMC, and Federal all with no problems. I dont really shoot for groops but it hits where I aim. i have run 6 mags through as fast as i could and it didnt miss a beat. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to buy from them again.
