Mine arrived today....looks great! Mounted it to a current lower, however I'm waiting on a lower build kit to arrive to complete the new Spikes Lower have waiting on it.
Had a great day at the range yesterday. Got the rifle sighted in then proceeded to send some rounds downrange at the 300yd gongs with no problems. A little later we moved over to our combat range to work on some drills and such and the new upper performed as expected. The gun balances perfectly for me as I'm a large guy with long arms. Defintely wanna keep in in a KISS configuration......now I just need to add a sling.  |
