I have had about 20 magazine insertions in the gun since my build and the parking is already starting to wear in the mag well.
    What do you mean by "sloppy machining"? Are you saying that the Spikes is out of spec? The pin holes are rough and gritty? Please clarify.

    Also, do you have any pics of the magwell you're talking about? I'd be interested in seeing what you describe.

    Should have bought 40.
    At 69.00 each or even 100.00 I think they are fine. At 250.00 I would look elsewhere.

    You are trying to pin my down on my general impression with the lower I bought. I have not sat down and gauged the thing out. My observation is in general the fit of the machining is not what I would like to see. It's the one part I will replace when the market loosens up.
