Hey everyone, I am a friend (and employee) of Spike's and we went out on Labor day to (test) shoot his 22LR rifles with the new BlackDog full body mags. Of course we had to do it the best way possible ... full auto and supressed =)

In my opinion, the black dog mags work awesome. We ran it as wet as possible and they worked flawlessly. My only suggestion is to not completely top it off (less 2-3 rounds) to avoid possible misfeeding.

Here are some of the videos

I swear. YHM was making cans for Spike and he wanted to call them the barking spider. I have no clue if thats what he actually named them.

Hey Guys!! Sorry i havent responded... been really busy.

That was a YHM XL Wraith 9mm with quick disconnect on the rifles.

It really is called the "barking spider" ... The story behind it is that Spike was looking for a name for it and as a joke, Ray, from our team said, why not call it the "barking spider" and Spike said. Okay! Thats the name.

And thats how we came up with "The Barking Spider" :D Why not have some fun with it you know?

I will have videos of it soon

Oookay ... ready for this novel??

Spike's Tactical is a class II weapons manufacturing company which assembles AR15 rifles and sells them to Law Enforcement Agents / Officers, FFL, and also private individuals who may legally own a firearm across the US.

We manufacture our own recievers to the point where we have our serial numbers, and logo's on them... but we do not machine them ourselves. Our lowers are made by the company which outputs the same lowers for literally one of the top ranked (and original) AR15 companies. The complete lower reciever is then put together by Spike himself ... literally about every single one of them with a LPK and the upper is stag. In doing the installs himself, it limits the Quality Control well...to 1 person. (which is good)

Unlike some ar15 manufacturing companies out there, we do NOT carry cheap parts in our rifles. Our prices are very low, but our components are very high quality. Spike's Tactical does not make very much profit off these rifles at all. Our customer's satisfaction in price and rifle are way more important to us than making that extra buck.

A big majority of our accessory list is Magpul, Blackdog and YHM. We love their products and personally use them ourselves.

We also carry dedicated 9mm AR15's and dedicated 22LR AR15 uppers. The 22LR is VERY popular and our demand is extremely high. The dedicated 22LR Upper comes with a modified ceiner bolt and a 1/16th twist chrome barrel, which is the correct twist rate for a 22LR.

Yes, the barking spider is made by YHM but is specifically made for Spike's. We are currently working with BlackDog to have our Spider on their 22 magazines aswell.

Any other company related questions hopefully can be answered by his website: www.Spikestactical.com

Or... give him a call. He's an awesome guy to talk to. 407.928.2666

I hope that helps!!!

(I hope that some of our customers can back me up on our quality and their experience!!)
