So I haven't seen too many video reviews on spikes rifles, and they always get compared to BCM/DD. Are they good to go? I'm looking at the 16" CHF mid length rifle with SAR rail.  I heard their customer support is great when it works but sometimes they take forever.

How are their SAR rails?

I purchased one of their blackout uppers with the SAR rail and I love it. Build quality is very robust. The upper has seen 3 or 4 thousand rounds and still shoots like it’s brand new.

Bought one of their midlength optimum profile uppers this year and it's great.

I have bought a lot of individual parts from spikes. Their premium stainless barrels are re-branded Lothar-Walther and will hang with the best. The powder filled buffers are awesome. Etc.

Sadly most of their complete rifles look like something guy fieri and jesse james dreamed up in the shower together. Then there is the whole spider/vader/dicks rollmark that gives AIDs to anything its plastered on.

I think that sums up ST really well.  Not bad stuff, just will make you stick out in mall-ninja neckbeard kind of way.

SAR is sweet, very light.  CHF barrels are very accurate.
This is my complete upper from them:

Got just the upper...shoots MOA with 75gr Hornady Frontier & CBC 77gr.

I'm not a fan of how fat the rail is or the quad aspect of it, but it's damned solid.

You'll be pleased.
