MB, agreed.

I've not used Spikes products, but I know people who have (and are very pleased).

A "tier one" M4 build should not cost more than $1000 in today's market.....

BCM Blem Lower Group = $265 Delivered
BCM MidLength Upper Group with BCG / CH = $535
MagPul MOE Hanguards = $35
LMT Rear BUIS = $75 (average ARFCOM pricing)

$910 for an AWESOME AR type rifle.

If you want to buy a factory built "tier one" you should be able to get it for $1100ish. There have been a couple of Colt 6920's for under $1100 recently online.
