    In a way, yes. SDI has EXCELLENT customer service, even if it is hard to get stuff from them sometimes due to their production schedual (I am told I will get my Dec. 28 ordered rifle middle Feb.

    However, their customer service is usually same-week. VERY top-notch from what I have heard.

    If you do not order from them already built, they obviously would not be obligated to fix some types of assy. problems.

    Talon Arms is who I ordered through and the price was very fair as well as Robert being knowledgeable and about the friendliest person I have every purchased from (Talked to the poor guy for almost a month about spec's and whatnots before I bought, +1 for him putting up with me )

    I have also dealt with PK (mainly bought small things like mags, ect.). They too are very polite and helpful.

    I've done business with PKF and it has always been outstanding. Brett is fast at responding and meeting the needs. I went to him for a custom build upper and had it within a week.

    How was the quality of the work on the custom assembly? Everything look good?

    1525rds to be exact. Mostly Rem UMC 55fmj. Some PMC...probably less than 150rds.

    Why do you ask?

    I'm sure he asked because round count can indicate reliability of the AR. Everything gone smooth? Fit/finish/assembly quality seems good after 1500 rounds?

    I'm now on my second upper from PK and their service/build quality is outstanding IMHO. Both times I've gone with Bushmaster superlight barreled uppers, one a flat top and the other an A1, one sits on a Stag factory lower and the other a Bushmaster. The flat top has approx. 1,000 rounds through it so far with zero problems with a CMT BCG. The A1 I haven't fired yet, I'm still piecing the lower together as a retro. I picked up a Denny's super duty BCG from Global Tactical for that one. I looked at the Sabre midlengths and almost went with one, and if I wasn't so enamored with the lightweights I would have.
    Realize, as others have said, these are not Sabre factory built uppers. However, my own personal experience and those of friends who have bought uppers from them tells me PK builds them well and would make it right if you weren't satisfied. I would buy from them again, but my next one will be a factory LMT M4 upper more than likely. Got to see what everyone is raving about I suppose.

    Dude, you have an Airsoft M900 on your gun?
    NOT in training for combat deployment.

    Oh yeah absolutely. I wouldn't have posted a positive reply if it wasn't a solid build from the get go. Yeah if that thing didn't pass the visual inspection upon recieving it it would have gone back to PKF immediately and more so if it had any type of malfunctions within the first 30rds. Yes I am more than just happy with their service and workmanship.

    Just to note, I guess I take for granted most know, but you should really inspect, function check, and clean any new rifle. The smallest error in build could result in serious injury. So by all means its okay to take a consensus on anyone's workmanship but doesn't mean you don't take precautions.

    Yeah!!!! Doesn't that just kill ya! Factually there is nothing about a Rico that specifically brands it as Airsoft. But I did have the same feelings at first as you. Thats only cause I didn't have first hand experience with it. Grassvalley PD and USMC have ordered these and put them into use. Mike over at CSgunworks in Elk Grove can verify this for those who need proof. Now the first versions of these as I understand were somewhat below standards. These ver2 are really really nice. You would have to use it to obtain your own opinion but I really won't justify a 600.00 foregrip/light when I can spend 250.00 and give me the same results. With that being said I do own surefire lights/IRs as well as Pentagon and Streamlight. Non of which have ever failed me either while in combat or the range.
