Correct..kindof.

BCM is $360 minus a stock body. Still comes with a standard grip and H-buffer, so you really only "need" need to poney up for a CTR, which at $95 or so, putting you around $450.

Spikes "basic" is $380, and you get the MOE grip (assuming you want it) and CTR stock (assuming you want it), and ST-T2. I pretty [censored] good deal, and if you were not aware, they get most of their internals from KNS (a really good machine shop).

Assuming that it fits your needs, the spikes is a heck of a deal. Maybe give Tom a call and ask when they expect them back in stock...give you a better feel for it.

I'm a whore, so I'd still get the BCM. My father had a heck of a time returning a piece of gear to Spikes. He's not the most PC guy, but they gave him the runaround and it took almost 60 days to get his credit back for something that was NOT his fault. They lost my "primary" business after that. Of course, I still buy their ST-T2 buffers from secondary suppliers (like BCM, lol) I still hear good things about them though...many happy customers.

okay thats interesting.... i HATE bad customer service... partof what got me going on busse kin knives is their great CS. i see that BCM carries the lmt sopmod and ergo grip. and the spikes buffer. well i guess i need to make a chose then.

have you used a bcm lower? are they a good product for the price.

I have two, and I love them.

Here's one of them in action. They never fail to go boom. I should mention that this one has a few upgrades, so not all internals are BCM. ST-T2, Giselle SSA, etc.

very nice!!!

is that an aim point

Yes, T-1

BTW...I wanted to say, I'm certain that Spike's is high quality gear. I wouldn't be afraid, except that I am, lol.

well if i get the bcm i get a funcioning lower i can upgrade at my own pace. i saw magpul has a stock called a STR that is along the same lines as a sopmod but has an A frame. any thoughts

Never held one, so hard to comment. I've read a little about them...but wouldn't want to comment on it without personal experience. The LMT is indestructable. I don't feel the same about my CTR's....but I chose the CTR as a lightweight component.

well i would take a magpul over a standard stock any day. have you heard anything about the B5 system sopmod stock. looks the same as the LMT to me minus the price tag.

Man the more i look the more i see that the Spikes lower kit is a great deal... did you ever have a problem with your spikes lowers other than bad customer service.

Looks can be deceiving. Think about what you're saying.

Other STEELS look as good, if not better than some of the Busse blades. However, are they worth the same? You and I both know the answer to this. Devil is in the details, brother.

I wouldn't be afraid of the Magpul...they make good kit. I know nothing of the SOPMOD knockoff. PERHAPS it is licensed from the same maker...but I would want 100% validation before purchasing.
