Simple question:

Spikes Tactical Middy w/ 9" BAR rail

or

BCM Government profile middy w/ Troy Ind Drop Midlength rail

This will be replacing my CMMG inc 16" Carbine upper as my SHTF gun.

14.5" or 16" middy?

I prefer the BCM middy in both lengths.

Both would be excellent choices.  I think the real difference would be the rail, pick the rail you like best.

I agree, both are probably very good. I would go with BCM mostly for personal choice. The spikes rails look neat but are big in ID for use with a suppressor. being in CA this isn't an option so I prefer a lower profile rail like DD or LaRue.

I don't have much experience with either rail system, does anybody have any experience or info on them?

BCM for the win!

can't go wrong with either. I have a bravo middy and am very happy.

I have both, Spikes and BCM middys- they both appear and shoot as equals (so far). As far as the Spikes BAR rails go, I cannot say as I do not have experience with any Spikes rails. The coming Spikes lightweight rails look interesting, I believe called SAR rails.
Spikes offers a lot for the money, BCM is a proven winner. Another tough call.

I don't have any experience with the spikes but I do with the bcm middy.  And it's definitely top notch.

I just bought a BCM mid-length upper,but i think, i should have whent with Spikes just because of the price.

Spikes with the BAR would be my choice.  The BAR rail is a masterpiece they have looks and are really lightweight compared to other rails I have used.

Get the 14.5 BCM light weight
Go with the Magpul middie handguards or DD Omega

Go with BCM midlength gov't. profile.  I am from an old school so no need for taticool stuffs and therefore no need for a rail system.
