and Spikes quality.... what is it like

Spikes makes good stuff. As I mentioned earlier, their internals (small parts...springs, pins, etc) are made by KNS Precision...very high quality stuff. If I had one, I wouldn't worry one minute about it....I'd shoot the heck out of it. First, I'd replace the trigger with a Gieselle though...but I've made that point enough times I think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

how much does that trigger cost

150'ish. Google: Gieselle SSA

well i will add it down the road. i will start calling companies monday to ask about avalibility of the lowers i want.

Did you decide on a lower?

lmt with fde sopmod with ergo grip and ambi seletor. or spikes enhanced with fde gear or as a back up last ditch a plain BCM

my build is on hold intill i can find the parts i want some place in stock

I may be able to complete a build - hopefully by the end of the year


Parallax Tactical has a very nice upper for a quite reasonable price.

The page says sold out, but give them a call.

They may have a couple around.

This one is on my list of things to get. If I don't do this one, most likely a BCM upper.

I ordered a bcm cosmetic blem lower with internals. I'm out of state right now but will report on the condition when I get back later this week. It was $300 without the stock body. Took a week and a half to get it.

Here's an upper that I built. Vltor Upper, BCM stainless 1/8 mid length barrel, Centurion Rail, Battle comp, BCM bolt group. SWFA 1-4 illuminated scope. It is on a LMT lower. Softest shooting AR that I have, even softer than a rifle length AR.

very simimlar to what i want to build when i can get the parts.
