I'm not sure if Sabre products are still available, you should call Wolverine if you're interested, the products have a great reputation but there were issues with the US Gov which resulted in warrants issued for the principal of the company.
 
Wolverine has some in stock at reduced prices. Still a bit pricey but the firearms appear to be quality stuff. The company had recently gone into bankruptcy and was subsequently purchased. Not sure by whom. So, likely no warranty from manufacturer but I have no doubt John would stand behind the product.

JAFAR.

Just Another f**king AR.

Just one of the highest end AR's available to us Canadians with all the features you want. 14.5" barrel, flash suppressor, M4 feed ramps, top of the line materials and workmanship. 1/7 twist. Has everything you'd want in a gun that comes from the UK instead of the neutered AR's coming out the US these days.
 
UK Sabres are good to go, perfect fit and finish. The anodizing is really nice and thick. I rate them better than most factory rifles coming from the South.

It was purchased by Manroy out of the UK. They have not restarted production as of yet. Manroy is also the company under license in the UK to build Tavors.
 
I have one with 11.5 inch stainless barrel from wolverine. Excellent quality. Fit of the lower and upper are tight. At par with my colt's and LMT's.

UK Tavors? seems weird to build a tavor in the UK. I wouldnt think anyone there could own one besides the police or the military. Are they looking to replace their crappy SA80 service rifles that everyone seems to hate or are they just building them to sell to other countries?
