Been lurking around the forums gathering various bits of information from here and there. Figured since I finally built my own AR that I should have an account here, as all the information I got to complete my lower was from this forum :)  


Well here she is:

Spikes complete 16" lightweight upper  $479
Stripped Spikes lower receiver  $99
Spikes enhanced lower parts kit  $149
Magpul Moe stock kit from palmetto state armory $78
And the rear sight is just a placeholder off one of my airsoft guns till I decide which buis I would like to get.

Total cost for build so far is: $805

Planning to add some FDE Magpul handguards, buis, and some sort of red dot optic and leave it like it is :)   The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about was that the upper is slightly loose when paired with the lower, but I've been told this is normal for it to be a little loose? Sadly weather hasn't been permitting enough to let me get out and shoot her yet, but hopefully this Sunday I will get a chance'.

Thank you :)


I fear this may be bad for my health and my wallet. I've already built my first one, I haven't even shot it yet, and I've already started planning another build....

Welcome.

Nice looking build.

It's quite clear that you have no idea what you're doing, and have built a very unsafe weapon. Immediately send it to me for proper disposal.
Great looking build, and welcome to the site!

It never stops.

Great looking rifle and a good selection of parts used for it.

Looks good......but no matter what you buy, you want more and more, then another rifle. It's a vicious wallet eating disease, that consumes you and in the end your looking for zombies.

Gosh I didn't know how addicting this would be..  Add a MaTech BUIS I just got off the equipment exchange. If I keep browsing through that section of the forum I'll eventually have an Eotech with magnifier, rails, lights, etc, etc.  Then I will have a spare set of handguards laying around that will need another rifle to be put on... Haven't I seen a name for that around here? Black rifle disease or something? I'm praying there's a cure for whatever it may be called.

Congrats...And nice rifle.

Also don't waste your time, there is no cure for BRD...

Honestly though I would spend the next few months shooting and learning the rifle before you start upgrading or building your next rifle.  Remember mags, ammo and training are the best upgrades you can purchase.

Why do you want a cure?  lol  There is NO cure, it's a disease for survival, you don't want a cure.

Not so bad for your health, it does keep you from buying all that unnecessary food that make people fat, less money for food, more money for guns.
