Went out and got the upper today, swapped handguards, tossed the mbus on, and went straight to the range on the way home.
Ate up a 100ct bulk pack of Federal and a box of Federal Tracers without a single issue.
I think a Vortex Strikefire will be next. For what I will use this for, I decided against my original plan of an Aimpoint of Eotech - the cost difference will be better used for more ammo

Build list:
Spikes stripped lower
Spikes buffer assembly w/ T2 buffer
Spikes Midlength upper
PSA LPK w/ MOE accessories
Magpul Hand Guard
Magpul STR stock
Magpul MBUS rear sight
Magpul 30-round PMags
As it sits on the table: $924 without shipping/tax/transfer
While I could have damn near purchased this as is, I wanted to put my first lower together myself and in doing so was able to use some parts I actually wanted instead of what would have come "stock" if purchased whole.
I am aware of all the Spikes "issues". To me, I don't care about logos, what their owner did around elections or even the shennanigans with another manufacturers - maybe that will come in time for me. New to the AR world, I knew their stuff was at least of good quality for MY use and was within my budget.
Thanks for looking, I'm just a happy/proud new owner
