Shucks, just bought a psa upper a few days ago wish I would've waited now

For those who do not know, Badazzar15 is Spikes Tactical.

As much as Spike's would like us to reveal the sources that allow us to provide quality products, at competitive price points, in a public forum, we decline the invitation. However, we understand that this is a small community that sometimes helps each other out when supplies get tight.

If Tom needs a source for proof rounds, he should contact us privately.

Thanks for your concern. Again, if you need the manufacturer's part number for the 6.8 proof round please contact us privately.

I will say this as a dealer with Spikes Tactical and PSA both are great quality. But PSA didn't go out and cut a deal with wholesale distribitors and throw the dealers who made them who they are to the wind. PSA takes care of their customers first then dealers Spikes can't seem to be bothered with the smaller dealers and would rather send everything to wholesalers. So who is commited to the customer?

lol at spikes trying to figure out how PSA does it better for cheaper without a 3 month wait.

Why does it seem that the 6.8 is catching on better than the various 6.5 offerings? What are the pros of the 6.8?

besides the fact that he asked who produces the test round, yeah sounds to me like hes wanting to get some as well

Have you ever seen a High Pressure Tested 6.8 SPC?

PSA is the only company to produce a HPT 6.8 SPCII?

I am in the market for a 6.8 Upper? Why are you guys the only one doing it?

Have you? You're the one making insinuations with zero to back it up against a competitor that is kicking your ass business wise. Finally realizing you're getting squeezed out of the marketplace between awesomeness of PSA selling to consumers and huge distributors on one end and folks like those air boat boys at CORE15 aggressively marketing to consumers and dealers on the other end? I bet $5 you're finding it a good bit harder to keep up lately.

Other than the inherent variety in the worn out lameness of your lower's rollmarks, why should we prefer your product over PSA's? Are your QC measures better? Why? Do you batch test or test every one? Do you test the metal from every lot like BCM? Are your proof rounds proofier? How? Prove it spider boy. If you can't are you going to come out with a bejeweled Zombie Liberace' wearing a Spike's Logo T-shirt while playing a grand piano rollmark on a lower as your "Neva Been Done Be Fo" game changer comeback?

Free advice: If you find yourself in a hole the 1st thing to do is stop digging. The second thing to do would be to stop trolling your winning competitor's new product announcements. Start paying attention to YOUR business by truely advancing the state of the art in the industry. Fruity looking rollmarks on lowers don't count. You could begin by reading carbine class AAR's where Spike's Tactical products are mentioned with less than favorable results. Then you should politely and professionally attempt to contact the owners of said products in an attempt to find out why your guns failed to complete a 2-3 day course of fire and FIX the problems. But hey, if you want to continue to put out "me too" cheaper knock off products *cough* dynacomp *cough* and catering to the "I'll never shoot more than 200 rounds through it in my life crowd but hey, look at the cool WTF ever poserific rollmark on my lower" feel free to keep plowing the fields of mere mediocrity.


Hey PSA. Is it possible to custom order one of these 6.8 uppers with a low pro gas block and that sweet looking rail you have on that .300 blackout upper in your other thread? If so, do we call it in or order it online somehow?

I assume that they did the barrel proof test one time, for each barrel chamber/profile combination, probably from the initial shipment.
Doesn't Hornady make proof ammo? I have seen pics somewhere of it (in 6.8 SPC at 70Kpsi I think).
PSA, please feel free to chime in.

Each individual barrel is proof tested and mag particle inspected.

We strive to give our customers the best product at an affordable price point; proof testing and MP inspection ensures the customer that they are getting a quality product.

PSA FTW!!!!

Why Spikes feels the need to "call people out" is a mystery to me.

If I owned a company I would be alittle more concerned about it, not someone elses.
