| Can anyone tell me about this company -Spikes Tactical - that builds AR rifles & pistols? How good is the work? Anyone have a 9mm from them? http://www.spikestactical.com/Pistols.htm |
| I just looked at some of their stuff at a gun show and as these guys are saying they have good stuff at good prices. Their lowers are made by LAR and are very nice. $100 and they even have several nice laser engraved logos such as a remember 911 and a punisher skull logo. |

Mike over at Spike's Tactical (owner) is a great man to deal with. I have one of his carbines and I have never had a single problem with them. Can't get any better than him price-wise too. The Punisher Skull and the REMEMBER 9-11 logo, I made those for him using Photoshop CS along with some other designs he has on his receivers. Don't believe me? Ask him. |
I sure did  I have made almost every logo he has on them, except for the Calico Jack logo, he had that one made before I did his other designs; I think the "Remember 9-11" logo was my best logo design so far. He's a great man to work with; I will get a lower from him for my A1 Retro Project next week. |
There's a Gun Show at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds on February 3rd and 4th; the show hours are Sat 9-5 Sun 10-5 and the entry fee is $7. Mike always goes to the shows, so chances are you'll see him there as well. He sells the stripped lowers for $100 and the assembled ones for $150, plus he has complete rifles, rifle uppers and has guys on his tables that can slap a rifle up for you. Trust me, you can't go wrong here. He's your guy.  |
Thank you! I'm gonna try to be at that one. |
I only asked about the Calico Jack, he told me 100 + 5 for shipping. Don't know about an image archive, or custom #'s Go to his website and drop him an email. He answered me that night. Mike |
That looks like paint to me. If it was laser engraved wouldn't it appear silver? His price leads me to believe it's paint as well but maybe it's just the photo. 
|
Trust me; I know his laser engraver and I've seen him doing the work, so I'm pretty certain that is not paint. |
| I have several of his lowers and they are excellent quality. The engraving is laser and not filled in...again I have some of my receivers with his work. He is carrying some other great products and all his prices have been fair. I have one of his 1 point slings and love it. I have no problem recommending this guy. |

I just bought from spike for the first time at the Orlando gun show. Im a new ar owner and he was great explaining everything with me. I picked up two lowers, complete upper and a complete lower. All of it was excellent quality and I got a awesome deal. I plan on building everything myself with my second lower. Here is my laser engraved FD lower.http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i199/teog/FDlower2.jpg |
The lower you have was requested by my fire fighter friend, He gave mike the Logo he wanted laser engraved and Mike had it made for him. Mike took it to the show for display and everyone one and there brother wanted one so Mike made it one of his items he keeps in stock. That just goes to show you how cool Mike really is. |

I saw a post about ar15 pistols ,slamming gunsmoke enterprises.If you look underneath the post theres a responce and a add by spikes tactical.Now one can aurgue who posted it ,but its the spike gang,again ganging up on gunsmoke.Why? becauce they are in direct competition with spike at the florida gunshows.Did you guys know that Ed Basile owner of gunsmoke helped inovate the pistol with his buffer system and porting in the early 80's. Do you guys realize how long gunsmoke has been around? 30 years!!!!!! Do you know how long spike has been around???? 2-3 years.gunsmokes claim to fame is not only the above but 66 of there ar15s are being used by orlando police dept and countless others. Fact: Did you know that through very reliable sources and people who will testify to this, that spike hung around gunsmokes gunshow tables for over a year to learn everything he could....at every gunshow to start his own business! when i asked spike about the posts on this site about gunsmoke......he said hes not involved with ar15.com in anyway. ........................................................................................................................ 18 Barney_Calhoun :: 3/17/2006 1:46:54 AM EST Should Gunsmoke Enterprises be included in this list of manufacturers/dealers? I found them through this thread, placed an order and later learned they have a horrible reputation. Unfortunately I ended up being burned by them too, I was sold a fake Vortex Flash Hider. Buyer beware! 1Negative 2 Negative 19 mob :: 5/25/2006 1:12:51 AM EST just got my AR pistol stuff thru Spikes Tactical, he does have AR pistol uppers, sidecharging 9mm uppers, from what i remember, jarvis machine upper/barrel with a 4 rail freefloat guard with a threaded barrel front with fake can attachment, want to say in the 550-600 range for complete upper, also sells other uppers for .223 pistol, handgun pistol upper and hangun rifle uppers [email protected] 407.928.2666 www.spikestactical.com website still being worked on, but call him for pricing and ordering, the owner is named mike, great guy, soon to be getting my 4th AR from him and other people on this board have dealt with him |

Gunsmoke has left a bad taste in alot of peoples mouths. Their (his) reputation isn't (wasn't) the best. ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=300632 ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=310671 I have no products from either GSE or Spikes so I am not biased just posting links  Mike |
