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. |

We don't need help with anything, we do our own testing and have sufficient resources to produce a superior product, regardless of cost. :-) |

It seems to me that the information he asked about shouldn't be anything that would impact you to share with the rest of the class and if anything would be helpful information for the community to know. You seemed to jump to another level here when all that was asked was some clarity on the methods involved in testing. I like you PSA, I really do, and I have sent dozens if not hundreds of orders your way through advice and recommendations on this site and at the same time I have shopped with you for years. As a customer I wouldn't mind knowing your source for proof rounds and the pressure proofed too as well. As Tom has pointed out not many (if any) companies offer what you are claiming to offer, and having a bit more information on those claims would go along way to cementing your marketing position. This is a technical forum afterall, we like technical data. Just my 2 cents. |

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?

What are the pros of the 6.8? Can't speak for anyone else but I recently ordered a PSA 6.8 upper to use as hunting rig because it had the options I wanted for a solid price. Not as cheap as their initial offering last year but still a bit less then ARP, Bison or Stag, and again configured how what I wanted. From my research the 6.8 & 6.5G have a LOT more overlap then differences in performance. Basically a marginal, and for my purposes (hunting medium game under 200yds) insignificant, difference. Seems very similar to the '.270win or .280rem' articles that were standard in gun mags when I was a kid, there is no wrong or right answer really. I chose the 6.8 because of the success it's had as a hunting round and all my prospective shots will be under 200yds- negating the Grendels better performance at long distance. Since I intend to use it only for hunting the cost of ammo is not very important to me. |

Stay classy. Have you ever seen a High Pressure Tested 6.8 SPC? 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. |

It does have me wondering now since he was so sure that no proof loads existed and called PSA out only to be schooled by them. |

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. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee483/Palmettostatearmory/Untitled.jpg Definition of pwnd right there folks.

ZA ZA, Reading is fundamental. I wasn't bashing PSA. They have been professional, courteous and provided proof......unlike at least one or two other posters. Did you happen to have a technical question or comment? |

Well it looks like Spikes is now officially off my recommended builders list. Trolling another builder's ad with misinformation is the pinnacle of tackiness.
Palmetto State Armory for the win! |

Until coming to ARFCOM I have never even heard of spikes.Along with many gun dealers , range members ,friends in the guard,and local police,in my area.That tels me they are just another company trying to duplicate Colts design.I don't see any better quality coming from them, when supply from PSA,Rock River,Bushmaster ect... is as good or better, and can still handle their customer service.You could have the best product in the world but if the customer isn't taken care of don't expect your business to succeed.

Wow that is probably the most unprofessional and childish thing i've seen on this board. While it might seem like an innocent question when taken out of context, put into context of one company commenting on another and you have underlying agendas. You basically tried to cut into PSA with 2 comments, 1. calling them out on not proof testing their barrels which backfired, and 2. not manufacturing parts in house, implying inferiority and downplaying them as an assembler not manufacturer. Even if they don't manufacture their own parts, that's ok because at least they test their products out to make sure it meets up with spec. I'll take that with only a 2 week wait time instead of 2-3 months.
PSA, When are you going to start making 6.5 Grendel uppers??? Seriously, Bill Alexander just released the Spec and trademark to SAAMI, and he just met with Wolf to finalize the steel cased version, meaning later this year 6.5 grendel is going to be way way more economical to blast than 6.8. |

A 6.8 SPC , a 6.5 Brandy Alexander WTF... and a 300 Blackout ...FN Cold Hammer Forged, double chrome linedbarrels... made out of machine gun steel of various lengths from 8" - 20"
would sure be nice..... I'd end up spending the summer out in garage for sure.....better than the winter so might be worth it.

We are working on lengths, materials and profiles now. This would be a good time to post any particular configuration preferences... |

I am patiently awaiting my 6.8 upper to arrive that I ordered a couple weeks ago. Patiently... In the meantime, if we are taking requests... I am looking at a 300 whisper upper as my next toy. Primarily as a short (100 yards and in) hunting rifle. Would like 14.5" or 14.7 plus perm. attach flash hider option. More barrel doesn't seem to significantly affect velocity with this round very much. Standard FSB is great for me. Light, light, light profile. In the meantime, crossing fingers for cheap 6.8 ammo to materialize. Thanks, - Z |
