New guy with ?? on PK Firearms/Sabre Defence
Hey guys,
I'm working on building my first carbine and I've been doing a lot of reading on these forums to learn about exactly what I want. I recently bought a stripped Stag lower so I'm researching upper assemblies. After using the search function many times, I've determined that I want a 16" midlength gas system. I'm looking for LMT level quality in a midlength. Unfortunately BCM seems to be the consensus pick but will not have any uppers in stock for the foreseeable future. Other than BCM, only Sabre and CMMG really make a midlength system (I'm not considering RRA or Stag for quality reasons). Most people here prefer Sabre over CMMG.
My questions are thus:
1. How close is Sabre to BCM or LMT? I'm talking about barrel accuracy and reliability here - I've read the entire "Chart" thread.
2. If I buy this assembly at PK firearms with the Sabre Barrel and opt for the Sabre receiver upgrade for $475 without the BCG and then order an LMT or BCM BCG from somewhere else, will I have an LMT quality midlength?

3. Should I be concerned that the gas tube and other small parts in this deal may not have been done at Sabre or is the Sabre stamp on the barrel and receiver enough? Essentially, can I trust PK Firearms?
If this Sabre assembly turns out to be a poor choice, I guess my only other options would be finding Sabre elsewhere, CMMG (not really an option in my mind anymore), or getting Denny to make an upper with his Operator barrel.
I really appreciate the info and knowledge that is available here - thanks in advance for any replies.
