I have been a fan (and customer) of Spike's for a long time now; I think that would be 5 years by now. They have good stuff and at affordable prices for my kind of budget, which definitely does not allow me to have anything near the amount of fancy optics, NV, underslung chainsaws and sawed off zombie-killing devices some people here fap and go gaga for.
I know everyone that works there by name and they know me by name as well; I purchase from them with confidence and I have never been dealt wrong by any of them; if anything, they have at many times hooked me up and helped with my projects wherever they could. You may have disagreements with them, that's perfeclty fine - nobody will be able to please everybody all the time. As fas I know, Spike's has been good to me and i have no reason to go anywhere for anything AR related.
