    Bud- You say "You are repeatedly posting complete nonsense around here." Thank you for that. It shows you are full of it. Give me some examples of where this is occurring. Everything I posted about Spikes is based on info. in the public forum. Not made up nonsense. I call BS on you. Sounds like your butthurt over buying a gun that is questionable. We've seen this many, many times. I'm calling your post on the Spike's spec's BS- prove it. It may be true, but at this point the info. is unsubstantiated. There is no point is continuing a discussion with someone that clearly doesn't have a handle on the technical side of the AR platform. Enjoy your Spike's.

    What is it about the subject of Spike's that gets people on both sides to willing to reach and stretch and looking for ways to get themselves worked up and offended?

    I think I'm just going to stop posting in these threads until I can collect my thoughts from my visit. It is becoming impossible to say anything about the company without some ignoramus or fanboy getting their knickers in a twist.
    *** Umm..... I have no emotions on my possessions or on my postings Rob. I wasn't worked up at all when I wrote my post last night...... but I am a little now. Seems you need to look at a few of YOUR postings and ask yourself if You have detached Your emotions. I don't know you, but You do seem to come off a little arrogant in a few of your postings. Just being honest with Ya. Just look at the one I quoted above. And I really hope you aren't referring to me as an Ignoramus. If so, I'd love to meet face to face. This is exactly why I am not going to boards as much anymore and not posting much anymore. I offer up a post that was legit and someone who has tons of posts and who's credentials with firearms are good, but not better than mine gets His "panties in a twist". My buddy who is a class III dealer has forgot more about AR's and MP5's than you and I will ever know told me Spikes are good people and make a good product and that's good enough for me. I also own a Colt, a CMMG and will have a BCM upper soon. All of them are GTG. So...end of small rant....... I'm done with this thread and won't be back. Good luck.

    I swore I would never use this but I have to. Next time I see a Spikes vs. anything thread I will avoid it. To the OP, pick what you want and shoot it. If you are happy and it works, that's all that matters.

    I am going to go out on a limb here, I have looked at several different companies that are producing .22lr ARs. I think for the most part they all are assembled crappy. Especially some Colts I seen at Gander Mtn. Apparently someone is making them for Colt, can't remember who. But my point is maybe we shouldn't judge companies by their .22lr ARs, as far as saying they are good to go companies or not. After all you don't see Noveske or other top tier companies exploring the .22lr world. I have never been completely satisfied with the feeding of a rim-fire case in a semi auto.

    [begin rant] I have a strong feeling Rob_s is going to have a surprisingly positive report about his Spike's visit. There are many things Spike's has in the works that people are unaware of. I own some Spike's parts but not a lot and I have always been pleased. I have learned a shit ton of things about ARs from this forum but I have never settled for second rate. The issue is knowing the difference between good kit and second rate. This comes from an open mind and the willingness to learn from others. Spike's may have been crap a few years ago but a good company progresses. [end rant]

    Only thing "Colt" on those .22's is the name.
    I gave my word I wouldn't bash Spikes.

    It sounds to me like you not going to boards or posting is probably for the best. This is the second time in one thread you've proven incapable of reading anything without taking it as the worst-case personal attack. It looks like you truck around looking for ways to get offended and bent out of shape. That's your issue, not mine or anyone else.

    Just to be clear for those of you in the back row, I wasn't comparing Spike's to a plastic bow and arrow, and I wasn't calling you an ignoramus (although that opinion is changing rapidly). I was, however, calling you a fanboy.

    If you could point me to this "post that was legit" I'd love to read it.

    I personally think that before anyone spouts off a bunch of nonsense of what is what, with out any actual experience with both, is a damn fool...perhaps there should be a real world comparison between the two...I mean that would just be the right thing to do before coming up with any conclusion.
