    Speaking personally,

    Everything about their operation screams Mall Ninja.

    No love lost after they immediately increased the price on their uppers to cash in on the election. The fancy wooden crates for storing a dozen lowers was the cherry on the cake.

    I'm sure their products are fine but i avoid them out of principle.

    Any proof to back up this accusation?

    it is a little interesting that their selling their lowers for so much now. it looks like their lowers are the second most expensive stripped forged lower next to a noveske.

    It's just marketting

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giffen_good

    Examples of Giffen goods include cars, university educations, products with elastic demand, and AR-15 lower receivers.

    Basically, these are good that violate the law of supply and demand, as people prefer to buy them because they are more expensive. Is a private college truly better than a state college? Well, since you're paying 3 times more, it MUST be better... right?

    Bah, who needs proof? Grant's just a brand Nazi hatin' on anything that's not Colt anyway! DPMS is teh shiznit!!!!

    Noveske is probably the #1 custom AR builder in existence right now - their products are incomparable to nearly every thing else available.

    LMT is a tier one company with a gov't contract (read: They have and follow the TDP)

    Spikes is not either of those things. LMT and Noveske will have some of the best Quality Control which leads to not just quality but also consistency in parts and builds, because they have a reason to do those things. Spikes does not.

    Grant sees as much or more AR gear than just about any one and if he says the build quality is not the same, it's not the same...

    Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me

    Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.

    Well I'd need a little more proof than just some guy "says" it's better.
