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





The AAC Suppressor completes the package

this gun sure is tricked out but my favorite part of the whole gun is the flag on the lower.

NICE

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

[Toecheese]

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.....
