I ordered a stripped spikes lower 9 weeks ago. I called my FFL today to find they ordered the wrong lower!!! They ordered a stripped bushmaster lower. I planned on putting a spikes lower on my bcm bfh upper (using a spikes lpk ). Should I just take the bushmaster? Will the trigger pins match? And bushmaster vs spikes.. what would you do?

Everything will fit.

Relax!

AR lowers are the same for the most part. Personally ... I'd let the gun shop work the problem out for themselves. You asked for a Spike's lower so they should get you a Spike's lower. It shouldn't cost you a dime more than what you agreed to pay in the first place. In other words ... it's their mistake, they should eat their mistake.

I guess the problem is you might have to wait another 9 weeks ??  Pretty crappy if you ask me.

I had my 3 spikes lowers the very next day

Lol thanks. I probably should just have them order the spikes... reason being is the lowers are essentially the same and I'm going to have a lot of spikes gear on my gun. I have to wait anyway for my bcg to be available. Plus I like the bullet markings

Are you trying to make the OP commit suicide ?

When did you order?

Also, since every lower is the same... your just paying for the name right?

Aim Surplus has Spikes lowers in stock, $79.95 with free shipping. You'd have it in a week.

So OP . . . in conclusion, you should just tell your FFL to cram the bushy up his *ss, and buy a Spikes from AIM.  WALAH!

Ok... I spoke to the shop owner this evening. He said first thing Monday morning he will contact spikes and overnight one free of charge. Not bad. Thanks guys!!!!

Based solely on brand recognition the Bushy will have a higher resale value.

People who buy ARs plan on resale value ??  Blew my mind.

I never do, I've never sold one, never will. Just thought the OP might at least consider this information.

true the Bushmaster lower will have a higher resale value and will be easier to sell if you ever need to sell it.Rock River Arms bring good prices so do Smith & Wesson and of course Colt

Wait a minute.  Let me get this straight.

1.  You waited 9 WEEKS for a stripped Spike's lower.
2.  You got the wrong one.
3.  You called and now the shop owner can get you one overnight.

The question should be, why the F didn't he do that in the first place?

I have never had a problem with a bushmaster.
On the other hand I like to get what I ordered.
I also tend to get disgruntled when someone jacks me around.

I waited 9 weeks because spikes was backed up. They are now back up to normal.

Where do you live that you have to have an FFL "order" anything for you? I usually buy what I want and have them ship to whatever dealer/FFL holder has the lowest transfer fee. Here in Tucson it's like $20. Waiting 9 weeks for anything is stupid. Do it yourself and you won't have to wonder about what someone else bought.

Yeah find another FFL
