I have built 5 ARs' using Spikes lowers. Some of the best I have seen since the scare of '08.

Spikes Tactical is saved in my favorites:D I have bought many of their products. I have their ST-22 .22lr upper and recently bought one of their complete lowers. I ordered 2 magazines from them, they forgot to send one, the problem was fixed quickly and in the end I got a free t-shirt, a ton of free stickers and even a free magazine out of the ordeal. They have high quality products and GREAT customer service.
CMT and LMT carbine receiver extensions are extruded, I wouldn't call those garbage.

Check out post 16 from Grant.
If it is not made from 7075-T6 its garbage. I haven't seen a CMT receiver extension in a while and it would be a shame if they were extruded. They used to make the best forged 7075-T6 four postion receiver extension on the market. Stag is using forged receiver extensions. I would have to believe they are made by CMT. I have no knowledge of how LMT manufactures theirs.
Those holes in the middle of the picatinny rail need to go. Bad. If that's the only way to save weight on the system then it needs to start over from scratch.
Bought a used .22 upper. Cleaned it out, reamed the bore/ feedramp with polishing compound. It's real nice and shiney. For some reason, it still doesn't want to fwed, even when I work the action manually. I am using blackdog mags, so I doubt it's a mag issue. Anyone have a similar experience? If so, how was the problem corrected?
