Ok I think I missed the info. I thought that the “F” fsb was used on the flat top weapons (reguardless of Carbine or Rifle) because the flattop set the rear sight at a slightly higher level than the traditional A2 rear sight arrangment. Is that not the case?
Any coming from Charles Daly?
I took a Colt lower to Ken Ellmore @SAW some time ago with instructions to give me a AR-15 Marine Corps designated marksman rifle. He did a fine job, and I had
only to mount a 4X ACOG MC model scope and Knights full length railed handguard and I have a repo designated marksman rifle that I am very proud of.
It plays havoc on torso targets @ 500 meters the extent of range available at my
local rifle range.
Has anyone seen the ones from Sabre Defense, the A4 barrel? I do not know if they have “F” marked sight bases though.
what does ETA mean in this context, I know what it normally means but I have seen a confusing use of it several times and just want to know…dangit…

ETA: No, I won’t buy a CMMG barrel. They probably have what I want, but I have my reasons.[/QUOTE]

ETA means “Eddited to Add”
M&A (m4 site sponser) has a 20" 1/7 that doesn’t specify profile… all the others say “varmint” or “heavy,” so simple logic SHOULD lead one to believe this particular barrel is special.
I’d post the link, but my right-click isn’t working for some reason, and my “tools” button won’t pop. sure love this notebook… never fails me or lets me down in any way.
Here’s the link I think you’re talking about.

On their faq page, they mention the barrel as being made by EMCO(they are saying this about rifle kits, but I assume this holds true for the upper as well). I found that info in their faq page under the quesiton:What are all of the various configurations that I can select? The info was in the last paragraph. Maybe someone here can make more sense of it than I did.
On a side note, I’ve been tempted to get one from M&A parts, but have been held back by the fact that I don’t know much about them. Instead I’ve been waiting for BCM or charles dlay to get theirs out. Of course who knows whe that will be.
that’s actually not it. might be the same barrel, but the page i was looking at was for barrel only, no upper- but there you go, it says government profile…
call and ask if they’ll sell you just the barrel. or i will tomorrow.
Bravo Company has Sabre 20", 1/7 Gov’t Profile barrels for sale currently…
Spooky
Hopefully they’ve got one less now. Just placed my order so thanks for the heads up. Been looking for these for quite a while and know they didn’t have any listed on the site just a few days ago when I made the usual rounds through all the out-of-stock sites.
I spoke to Sabre directly just this past Monday and they said they have a 12 month lead time for the next run, though I suspect they are giving this kind of lead time answer no matter what you’re looking for considering our current state or panic/preparedness.
Hopefully all goes well with this order. Perfect time too as I just received my TA31RCO-A4CP ACOG that I bought during the ebay cash back deal. 
Cheers!
I have a A4 20" gov sabre defense barrel inbound! I back ordered one from talon arms a little over a month ago. Received email yesterday conf order shipped. Now I’m waiting to find a LMT a2 lower and BCM bolt
