Comments about the build:

I bought the Spikes Tactical Lower on an impulse. They had a Fourth of July sale and laser engraved Stars-and-Bars on the right side for free. This sale coincided with all the controversy over the flag, and it was a “What the heck – buy one!” When it came in, I thought “Now what do I do with it?”. I don’t have an AR Pistol, so I built one.

Admins: If you receive any complaints, please let me know and I will pull the right side photos.

I should have purchased the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 1 instead of the Mod 3. The Rainier Modified Trigger Guard protrudes slightly below the rear receiver trigger guard “ears” and the gap filler on the Mod 3 Pistol Grip would not allow the grip to fully seat. Exacto-Knife fixed the problem.

Mixed emotions on the Oden Extended Mag Release when using KNS dog bones. I had to back the mag release button out two turns before the “paddle” would clear and release magazines. Perfectly functional, but I would have thought Odin Works would have relieved the paddle slightly in anticipation of users with KNS pins.

I was surprised to see the KAK QD End Plate had the center tip ground off. Their standard end plate did not have that done. This made centering the buffer tube a trial and error as tightening the castle nut tended to twist the buffer tube. I will be replacing the KAK QD with a Bravo Company QD End Plate.

The pistol passed function check and I am looking forward to some range time to zero the Troy irons and the Vortex RDS.

It rained parts for a few days ...

The Upper and Lower receivers were a pretty good match

The final assembly looked pretty good

Most consider KNS pins to be useless. Why make clearance for a doodad your customers aren't going to use?

Very nicely done. I particularly like that you set it up for a suppressor right out of the gate

They are useless unless your pins walk on you......which has happened although unlikely. I tried running the older variant of the Odin extended mag release and it had way too much wobble. I chalk it up to another gadget designed to do nothing other than take our money, and a "fix" to a completely unnecessary issue (standard mag release).

Unless you are missing some of your right index finger like me, then it is the greatest thing ever made.....
