he does but he can really chew through 40 S&W. Was trying to help a guy next to me with an AR cycling issue, long story but in short ended up he had a rifle spring in a carbine lower. For some reason my Stag carbine upper would run on it, must be a little over gassed but his would not cycle at all, maybe a little under gassed. During that time frame my son emptied every round of 40 I had with me and wanted more, lol

I think what the poster is trying to say is that "same place as Noveske" is a way of comparing Spike's to Noveske without having proof to back it up or even knowing anything about Kaiser Defense. One thing M4C prides itself on is knowing what we are talking about and showing proof about where we obtained the information.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no one got mad over this discussion (unless you did and happen to be posting about yourself, which would be rather, well, sensitive).
The poster above me is correct.
And there is a difference in saying "the same company as Noveske" and saying Kaiser Defense. Don't believe me? If the maker of Vulcan/Hesse lowers happened to make Spikes lowers (and they happened to be of good quality), you wouldn't have said "The same company as Hesse." Therefore, the very phrasing associates Spikes with Noveske and is misleading.
Noveske rejects a majority of the lowers received from Kaiser Defense (the only keep "perfect" lowers) and many of those rejects are the same quality as Spikes. Does that mean it's correct to say that Noveske would consider a majority of Spikes lowers as rejection-quality? Hmm... that statement is true, but it still has an agenda.

I am not saying Spikes is worthy of the same price tag as Noveske. I am sure Noveske hand selects the better looking lowers. All I was attempting to point out was if they come from the same manufacture, then if all your wanting is a gun to shoot and not be a gun safe queen, then Spikes seem to be a good choice. Maybe the Noveskes are hand selected or have an extra step in machining, I really do NOT know the answer. The above websites are some interesting reading.
A few years old now, but this is a great interview with John Noveske. Mostly he talks about his barrels, but he does mention the lowers:
http://www.defensereview.com/noveske...view-part-one/Noveske: The lowers on our rifles are made by CMT [Continental Machine and Tool]. We had some made by LAR [LAR Manufacturing, Inc.] with a B prefix on the serial number, but that was a limited production run. We have a PO into another company, but it will depend on approval of the samples.
But as has been said already, Noveske certainly seems to be the "pickiest" about the components he purchases, and who makes the lower is really not a huge deal.
Yes.
And I'm not sure by the wording of your post, but if you're asking how/what I'm comparing the lowers to, some of the Spikes lowers I've handled have had more cosmetic "blems" than my Noveske seconds lowers. I'm positive they are simply cosmetic in nature, but they would've been tagged as seconds by Noveske nonetheless (to be fair, the same could be said of most manufacturers, as Noveske seems to be the pickiest of all manufacturers).
