LOYALTY ABOVE ALL ELSE

Old School All The Way

If You Dont Stand Behind Our Troops, Please Feel Free To Stand In Front Of Them

It's not illegal immigration, it's an invasion


If you want peace, prepare for war.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

If anyone knows if Sabre Defense machines their own forgings please post here and I'll update the list.

Also, someone said they took a recent tour of Armalite and noticed they had the CNC type machining running. I don't know to what extent so I'm sure the above list is still 100% accurate.

I was told by my local dealer that Sabre make their own in Nashville. He said he got that straight from Sabre.

Check this out, a bit off topic really.

According to my sales guy, their lowers are CNC machined here in Nashville. I drive over there to their facility in Nashville and pick them up after I fax/e-mail my latest orders to them. It's a beautiful sight to pick up a case of 10 or so.

Thank you for this compilation. Did you get the info directly from the manufacturers?
