Regarding sabre vs BCM, I have one of each on shooting guns.
They shoot about the same, both very consistent, thus far reliable (bcm at about 2500 rounds, Sd at 3500-4000). Granted my sample size is small, but the BCM I have seems to have a slight edge on precision, but not that much to be noticeable.
The Sabre barrels I have are all stamped like crazy, with twist, CMV, lot numbers... Pretty easy to ID.
The price quoted on PK's site is for a Sabre barrel with CMT upper according to the last I spoke to them. They are not assembled by Sabre. I was told that I could have a Sabre upper for an additional charge but it still isn't a factory assembled upper.
So does "factory assembled" make a difference? I know that Sabre only makes the barrell and upper receiver - the gas tube, handguards, etc are outsourced. So if they are genuine Sabre parts but not assembled by Sabre, will it matter?
According to that site a Sabre receiver is $30 extra.
While we're on the Sabre topic... do all Sabre uppers have the Sabre name lasered on them? In other words if you buy a sabre upper rec, it should say sabre on it, right?

There is some clever wording used to sell those uppers.

Well it depends on who is doing the assembling.
Quick story. Was talking to one of the SD guys about something and we got on the subject of dealers buying their barrels and then putting various uppers and BCG together and selling them as "SD uppers." SD gets a warranty call about a problem upper. So they have the guy send in his "SD upper." Come to find out, the upper was not assembled properly and only the poorest quality components were used.
IMHO, I would only buy AR's built by certain dealers.
