I found a good deal on a complete sabre defence upper and I just wanted to check if there was any reason to stay away. It's a 16" barrel and im hoping to get 1moa with hand loads out to about 400 yards. I have read a lot of great things about their barrels but that the chrome lined one's had chamber and accuracy issues.

The earlier Saber stuff was dependable. Before they went out of business (indicator) their quality became worse. So, I advise against you making a decision based on the brand name.
Chrome lined service grade barrels will give you service grade performance. Risky to think any service grade barrel will give you the performance level you want at 400 yards.
I would go with a barrel made by a reputable company.

Saber was shut down by the ATF for legal issues with some of the employees and sear pin hole lowers based on what I remember.
Stuff was being transported to the UK and overseas for contract work without proper State Dept approval if my memory serves me right.
They made good carbines and rifles though.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Those chrome molly barrels by Sabre defense with the A-post front sight and chrome lined chamber and bore Stamped Sabre Defense 1:7.5 twist, and were made by Alaxander Arms for Sabre defense. The last remaining barrels that were released from the ATF that were seized, were released a couple-few years ago and someone like Red-x Arms bought the whole lot of parts and uppers. They had all these complete uppers, Barrels, and parts for sale on there website, even had the story about the lot posted on there website.............
From what I remember of it................

I have an old 5.56 16" 1:7 sabre middy that's very nice.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
