They did a version of it set to Type O negatives music. I enjoy that version thoroughly.

Just received a number of small parts from Numrich's (Gun Parts Co) for my Win 94 conversion.... but only 1/2 the bits I ordered arrived and they say they will come in multiple packages... that is OK except for the $45 they charged me in postage that has cost them all of $11 so far...

I just picked up my Spikes Honey Badger lower (I generally don't go for the tacticool themed gun parts, but I couldn't help myself with this particular one. And the price was right.) and I can tell you right now I like my BCM lower more. The BCM has a nice, smooth anodized finish and the Spikes has a very flat Cerakote (I think) finish. Feels like a chalk board, but maybe even flatter. If I would've had a chance to handle it first I don't think I would've bought it.
I have no doubt that it is a top quality lower, this is just a personal preference thing. I'll keep it, but from here on out it is BCM all the way for me.
I'm still not sure if I'm going to build a 6.8 SPC hunting rifle or a .300 BLK pistol with it. I will probably stick with the Honey Badger theme and go the pistol route. I'll SBR it at some point.

Shipping is getting outrageous. USPS charged me $8.00 to ensure a small flat rate envelop for $465 yesterday. I shipped out one of my BATACs and about fell over when they charged that much for JUST insurance on a 2 Day package.

I've had several BCM and their finishes range from almost glossy black (much more so than a current Colt) to outright FLAT black. My MidLength's lower is glossy while the upper looks flatter than a chalk board.

The only reason I use/support USPS is so that they can stay around so I can keep getting mail in my mail box. They don't make it easy to keep using them, though.

I like the more flat almost grippy textured finishes I guess its a personal preference thing.
