What does their bankruptcy do to the value of bullpups manufactured by Sabre? I bought one with the EOTech sight a couple of months back. Looks cool but has a lousy trigger - dry fired it with some snap caps. Seems to be a common complaint with the bull pup design.
Never fired it, looks like another safe queen.

  The bankruptcy does about nothing. They are already the most over priced weapon I know.
  
  Any bullpup design will usually have a poor trigger, the Remington XP-100 excluded. You have to have a linkage going from the trigger to the sear, instead of the sear being in a direct relation with the trigger. Makes for a sort of spongy feeling.

  The assets have already been bought.
  Most of the same products will be started up again.
  
  But no one knows all the details yet.
  
  And it will not effect your firearm value in the foreseeable future.

  Colt tried to buy up Sabre, but was outbid by Manroy. They're a smaller but established US company that manufactures M240 and M2 MG's.

  Regarding your trigger pull..
  
  There's a company that makes a replacement device for both the Sabre Defense A3 and the Microtech Augs called the Neu-Trigger which supposedly reduces the pull by 2 pounds.
  
  They are sold through the GB auction site and are usually under $40 but can be sold under several brand names.
  
  Word on the Aug forums is this device is a must have and has a good reputation.
