    Seemed to run well and be fairly accurate with a red dot.
    Here's one for $875.00: https://www.classicfirearms.com/sigr...d-or-30r-tele/

    Does the tube have that TREAD logo on it?

    That’s a sound parts list. There’s one other thing to consider though. That’s the end user’s ability to assemble those parts to make a properly functioning rifle. That may or may not be a factor with the op, but I would generally recommend a complete rifle to avoid any growing pains.

    Nothing wrong with that parts list, assuming the OP has the skills and interest to assemble.

    When you're done you'll have a carbine that at best is worth on the used market half what you paid to build it. Just the nature of homebuilt mix and match ARs.

    If you want to build and have the skills, then it's a fun way to get started.

    To me it's the long way around to avoid buying a 6720, 6920, or 6960 for just a little bit more.

    I started out building lowers and buying uppers. Then realized I could buy an LMT complete lower for about the same as I could build one, so I use them and built uppers out of DD parts.

    Neither of those options make financial sense now when you can still get complete Colt 69xx carbines in the $800-900 range. (or potentially less if you find the right deal on an OEM1 or OEM2)

    Interesting specs with some upgrades that you wouldn't expect to see on a PSA rifle. Can't wait for someone to do a full review and burn down

    @Mrgunsandgear, you're near PSA correct? I'd like to know if their QC has been upgraded along with the parts for this new "Sabre" series

    That is the million dollar question, isn't it? They can use nice parts but if their assembly methods are sheeit it doesn't matter much.

    It's a newer one with it blacked out.
    That yellow one would have to go.
