    Spikes M4 LE Review

    This is not my review but I found it to be interesting and thought I would share it. I'm not posting this to try and start any problems so if the moderators feel like it might please close this thread.

    Thanks for the video. It seems to me like ST is a very good M4 maker at crappy M4 maker's prices. I dont see why everyone dumps on them.

    Would you please explain this a little more?

    If he doesn't have the money to buy a DD or BCM how is he going to put ammo and mags into his Spike's?

    Why does he need it now?

    Why can't he save another few months and get a DD, Colt or BCM?

    These arguments are silly aren't even based on a rational thought process.

    I'll reiterate what 'gunz said... if he can't afford a BCM, he can't afford ammo. Period.

    I just went to Bravo Company's website and priced out a midlength upper with Magpul MOE handguard with a blemished lower and BCG for 900.20. Add a rear sight and you are in business.

    Or get a palmetto complete lower for $239. You'd be under $800.

    With the palmetto lower, I would keep an extra fcg on hand since theirs is of unknown mfg.

    I wasn't posting this video review to try and compare Spikes to BCM,Colt,D.D.,or any other AR on the market. I thought this was a good review and there doesn't seem to be many reviews on the Spikes M4 LE that I could find so I thought I would share it for anyone interested.

    I know this is off topic here but do you know if you can get BCM lowers stripped or do they only sell the assembled lowers.

    Ok, since you opened Pandoras Box let me state that I don't hate Spike's. I have some reservations about things that I have observed, that is all.

    My response to your post (before you edited it) was designed to point out that the justification people try and make when defending a purchase is usually not based on sound reasoning.

    Every one of my points are very valid and IMO are hard to rebut.
