Anyone know of a store in within a 2 hr drive of Alexandria that stocks Spikes Lowers? I really want to get a color fill lower to finish my build and 2 others (group build, 3 of us). All I can seem to find in stock anywhere is DPMS lowers. I know I can order them online but don't want to deal with all that coordination. At this point, I may even take a RRA or Armalite also...

Try DK firearms.  I'm not sure if it's within a 2 hour drive time but he always has various spikes lowers and good prices.

Zombie Defense should be at the show. I know at 1 time he had Spike's lowers, not sure about now though.

Just order one on line. Its cheaper most of the time. Its not hard. Send an email to your local dealer to make sure they will do it and what their price is...if you have never done it before. Place your order on line and use your dealer as the shipping address. Then send an email to your dealer requesting them to fax a copy of their FFL to the seller––provide them the order number and fax number. Depending on which internet dealer you buy from and which local dealer you use, the internet dealer may already have your local dealer's FFL on file and will not require them to send another. I have bought several fireamrs on line and never had any issues with a simple order/transfer. In the time it took me to type this I could have ordered the lower already.

He wasn't carrying any at the Fredericksburg show last weekend. Only DPMS and LAR, which I believe are produced by the same company that makes Spikes.

I actually picked up a complete Spike's lower and stripped Spike's lower at that show from SSG Tactical for a decent price, both are color filled. I'm sure there will be more at the Dulles show.

Unless you want to order one you may have to hold off until the April Chantilly show. My buddy picked one for $60 at the Nov. show.

Shoot, we have the complete color fill rifle on the wall at NOVA Armament. Price is 815 (same that they charge). 703-435-4222. We open at 1100 and close at 1900 M-F, 1200-1900 Sat, 1200-1700 Sun.
Come on down and check it out! We're in Herndon, so we definitely meet that 2 hour requirement from Alexandria even WITH the cockamamie traffic on 495.

I need just the lower. Have 2 uppers built already! Any chance you will be getting lowers in?

This is what I am dealing with now. Need this lower so I can build up the carbine lower. Got my A2 lower on the upper now.....  I have 50% of 2 AR's, haha.

Color filled?

Damn I wish I went now...

No color filled. Lots of stripped lowers there besides Spikes. Still be cheaper to order one from Spikes, even color filled and transfer would come out cheaper than what they were selling for at the show.

Yeah, color filled stripped is like $90 on their website, but they're also back ordered. And the regular price on their site is much higher than $125.
