A few months ago I got a Spike's Florida edition lower and expected to just keep it in the safe, that definitely didn't happen and this is what it turned into. a big thanks to Spike's for their help on this build.

Spike's Tactical:
- FL HTF Lower
- Upper Receiver
- BCG
- Lower Parts Kit (minus trigger)
- 14.5" CHF Barrel
- Buffer tube assembly w/ ST-T2
- Melonite Gas Tube
- Gas Block

Fortis REV 14 Rail
Geissele SSA-E
Surefire MB556 brake
BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 CH
BCM Mod 3 Grip
Magpul STR
Magpul MBUS
Magpul AFG2
EOTech 512 w/ GG&G mount

I know the MBUS are on backwards, fixed them after taking pics.

Impressive rifle! Looks like an expensive build. Don't shoot your eye out.

Very nice!
I like the look of the rail and the barrel length
is it pinned and welded to 16" or is it an SBR?

Being from Florida and particularly now that I've moved away from Florida, I REALLY REALLY want that Spikes Florida edition lower. Great looking fun man. Couldn't have done better myself.

Thanks guys.

The FL lowers were done as a special HTF group buy about a year and a half ago, bought mine from someone who bought multiple, there's also someone selling some in the EE now, I do not think Spike's has plans to do more.

The muzzle brake is permanently attach so everything is kosher.

Id be willing to trade for one or maybe buy one. Cash is tight, to be spending on myself,  this time of the year.

I been dying to see what that 14" rail would look like on a 14.5" pinned barrel.  I think it looks fantastic!
Going back and forth between Geisselle, Fortis, and Spikes SAR rails.....I think your photos sealed the deal!
I know its not recommended but I am now curious if one could get a YHM brake shield nice and snug with that rail ? Been toying with the idea
