skeeter Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have purchased 3 of these and they have been great. Here are pics of two of them. No milling marks on them at all and the finish on these things are fantastic, the coating has been very durable. <thumbsup>Go ahead, pick up a couple.

Robocop1051 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 There was a time that you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Spikes AR. For a mass produced forged lower, I think they are pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've got 3. Two were manufactured by Aero Precision, and the other is the old-skool Mega Machine Gator Grip lower. Spike's doesn't make their own, but they do have good companies making them for them.You can't go wrong, brother. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I ordered 2 as they are in stock now. Unfortunately spikes has no stripped uppers available. Does anyone know what other uppers are similarly finished? I dont want a two tone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Aero Precision stripped uppers should match them (Surplus Ammo & Arms will have the best price, and you can order a "bulk pack"). I just saw a line on some $65 stripped uppers a few days ago - I'll dig it out and post it up. Can't remember if they were AP or not, but they were good ones. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 and he mentioned "Bulk Pack" <lmao>Hey, hey, hey now... my last run of 5.56 stripped lowers were a bulk pack. 3 with sequential serial numbers, for $55 per. I should have bought the 5-pack, in hindsight... There's nothing wrong with that, besides that I'm almost out and need to do another order... <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 It's Drew's thread - he fully expects us to take this thing off the road and just bomb it through the cornfield anyway... Just sayin'... <dontknow> <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Here, Drew - hit this one up. Can't beat that price. It'll be a little less than $20 each to finish them up with an ejection port door kit and a FA kit, and I can guide you to those kits for cheap(er). <thumbsup>http://www.surplusammo.com/aero-precision-ar15-stripped-flat-top-upper-receiver-5-pack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 A friend of mine just bought two of those AP uppers from that site. He likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Those uppers are great even have a flag on them, used 7 of them on my AR's. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
