I'm looking to get a spikes tactical lower and am currently deciding between a few uppers for my build this next month. I was looking at a Stag upper but have one concern. I owned a stag a couple years ago and one problem I always had was the upper receiver having a white, hazey look to it all the time...is there a way to correct this problem or are most uppers like this?

I was also looking into an RRA upper and a Del-Ton upper. Do you know who makes the delton upper and if its good quality? Also assuming the white hazey look is fixable which route would be a better choice to go with....Stag. RRA, or Del-ton? I would like something that matches somewhat close with the spikes lower and just wanted to see if anyone had one of these combos out there.

Thanks,
Ryan

I put my RRA mid length upper on my spikes lower and it wasn't a perfect match.  The finish is a little more greyish on the spikes lower, where as the RRA upper is jet black.  It didn't look bad, and in some lighting you couldn't even tell, but it wasn't a perfect match.  I was thinking about putting a CMMG upper on my spikes lower because their finish looks more greyish than some of the other manufacturers.

Thanks...I appreciate the info. I was mainly looking at the spikes because of the engraving options they offer that I liked. Is there a better lower out there that I could just get engraved by someone later? How is the quality of the spikes?

Mine was awesome. Almost perfect in every aspect and it looks to be as good as the lower on my colt.

ETA: Let me know if you want pics of it.

I have a Spike's lower (2 actually) and have them both under VLTOR MUR uppers. Very nice and tight. One of them I have to knock the takedown pin out each time.

The finish on those match very well. And I Love my Batman Logo, of course.
