Lot's of people saying they're good to go.

I've only known a few people to use their parts and all of them seemed happy. Only one of them ran the rifle hard though to my knowledge. Most of what I've read about their stuff has been good from people that actually were testing it. The problem has been that you have companies who makes parts in the same price range that have been tested a lot more.

I've personally never been fan of them due to the roll marks. I've always hated their logo. Yes I know that is one of the worst reasons to hate them but I can get something that is on par with them or better for around the same price so I've always done that. They just never really stood out, I think that is why they do all of the stupid lowers. They have made a name for themselves as being willing to do all of the goofy roll marks.

I wonder if Reed Knight is still collecting their lowers. I seem to remember years ago reading that he gets 007 or something off every serial number line they ran.

The first time I went to the Spikes webpage, I thought I'd stumbled on the AR section of a skateboard shop.

That sounds about right.

At least spikes uses 7075 t6 and are forged.

I used a spikes lower for my build, topped it off with good parts.
G2S, solgw upper, bcm, Magpul to shorten a long list of parts.

Reason I went with it over the rra lower because the rra had silly shallow rollmarks.

Depending on what the lgs has today I may buy another spikes lower.
