Here we have a few New products we a Proud to Announce. As some of you may already know we have Teamed up with the Awesome guys over at Adam's Arms to bring one of the Finest dedicated piston uppers to the Market. It is 100% US made from the best components that money can buy, period. There is nothing better. These are the most accurate and most durable piston uppers on the Market. We plan to offer them in 7.5", 10.5" and 16".
Here is a break down of the piston uppers- -The Mil-Spec M4 flat top upper receivers were made and designed to be used with our piston system. The op rod hole is the proper diameter so a bushing isn't required at all. All of the uppers will have M4 feed ramps, Spider logo, T-Markings, and Mil-Spec Type III hard coat Anodizing as well as Mil-Spec dry film lube on the inside of the receiver. -The barrels are made from Match Quality stainless steel barrel blanks with a 1/7 twist rate. They will have an M4 barrel extension, They will be chambered in 5.56 Nato and threaded 1/2x28. After each barrel is finished it will be Melonite coated inside and out for excellent corrosion resistance and durability. -The piston block is made from High Quality stainless steel. It is a low profile design that is pinned to the barrel using (2) 1/8 hardened straight pins. It has 3 gas settings, full gas, suppressed, and no gas (single shot). The blocks will also be Melonite coated inside and out. -The piston plug and op rod are both made from High Quality stainless steel and coated inside and out with Melonite. The system can be broke down from the front requiring no tools. -The carriers are a 1pc. design and have skies as well as a champher on the rear of it to help prevent carrier tilt and drag. The carriers will also be Melonite coated inside and out. Each carrier will also be engraved with our Spider logo. -The bolts are spring loaded. They are Mil-Spec, shot peened and MP tested. Each extractor will be fitted with a Viton o-ring. -The rail system used will be a Daniel Defense lite rail. The 16" uppers will have a mid-length gas system, government profile under the hand guard with a 9.0 DD Lite rail. The 10.5" uppers will have a carbine length gas system, medium profile under the hand guard with a 7.0 DD Lite rail and the 7.5" uppers will have a pistol length gas system, heavy profile under the hand guard with a 4.0 DD Lite rail. -Mil-Spec forged charging handle. -Each upper will come with an AAC Blackout suppressor mount which can be upgraded to the Spike's Warthog adjustable muzzle break. -We will also offer optional front and rear Troy sights. Retail on the piston uppers will be $1495 which will include an ST-T2 buffer. The uppers will retail for $1695 with front and rear Troy sites. Click here to pre-order. The first batch will be avilable for pre-order with in the next couple of weeks. Here are the pictures of the 16" Mid-Length upper w/Troy sites. 
Broke down for cleaning. 
Well If that wasn't enough we will move on to the next New product. The Spike's Tactical Warthog and Daniel Defense 4.0 Lite rail. The Warthog has been in design and testing for almost a year now. Don't ask me how I kept my mouth shut that long. 
The Warthog is an Adjustable muzzle break designed to be used in a short barrel CQB application. It directs the blast down range! You can actually adjust the back pressure up or down until you find the sweet spot your little 7"-10" upper needs to cycle properly. The most common problem with short barrels is the lack of back pressure they need to cycle. The Warthog is the most Controllable and Durable muzzle break on the Market when used in a full-auto or semi-auto application. You can also increase or decrease the rate of fire when used in F/A. The body of the Warthog is machined from 303 stainless steel while the cone of the Warthog is machined from an ULTRA high temp proprietary alloy. You can Adjust the Warthog in the field by hand with no tools. It can also be broke down for cleaning the same way. The spring loaded collar on the Warthog is wavy to achieve firm adjustment clicks. In testing every 16 clicks decreased the rate of fire by 14 RPM. We have put thousands and thousands of rounds through the Warthog and have yet been able to burn one up! The Warthog is coated inside and out (except for the cone) with Melonite for corrosion resistance and durability. Here is a picture of the Warthog on our 7.5" piston upper. We choose to use railed blocks on the 7.5" uppers for added sight radius. You can also see that the upper is wearing the New Daniel Defense 4.0 Lite rail. **Note the production upper will have a pinned block**. 
Here it is broke down for cleaning. 
Here you can see what the cone looks like after 6 non-stop beta mag dumps. Like I said its Durable! 
As always all of our Products are made in the USA from the Best materials and parts money can buy backed by a full Lifetime Warranty. |

Originally we were going to use the low pro block on everything, but the 7.5" upper didn't have enough sight radius so I changed its configuration to the railed block. But it will be pinned just like the low pro block is.

There is probably enough material there to make what your wanting. I may do the 5/8x24 with a larger bore so it works with 7.62, all the pistol calibers and the big bores. |

I need one of these 7" or 10" in 5.45x39mm. If you guys can't provide the barrel and bolt can the upper be built if I supply them?
also can the gas system be adjusted off for suppressor use? Also what do you mean by springloaded bolt? |

I had a long argument over this subject when they were first released, that is why I went with PWS (Addax Tactical) b/c they would pin it for me. |

The bolt isn't modified is it? Hopefully the spring just fits into the (modified) carrier and it uses a standard bolt. Finally do you know if the piston will clear a AAC or YHM QD suppressor mount? I know cans are fopa on <10" barrels, but mine is getting suppressed anyway. I'm looking forward to this upper
ETA: what is the total number of clicks on the warthog's break? |

I'm sure its common knowledge but just to reiterate Tom and the guys at Spikes build some of the best custom rifle on the market and these are no exception.
These uppers are absolutely incredible. I'm in the business and I purchase cool stuff all the time but when we started talking about how these were going to be built out I new this was going to be an amazing project. Spikes has put together a set of one off uppers using the best parts money can buy and their new Wart Hog is insane.
You SBR and pistol guys will love the 7.5" upper and YES all of these uppers will run suppressed and full auto. As soon as we have a chance we will get some video up. Thanks Jim |

ETA: what is the total number of clicks on the warthog's break? The bolt is standard. The spring slips over the tail of the bolt. Also I will check the piston clearence on the suppressor mount for the short barrels. The Warthog has a ton of adjustment. The cone has just over a 1/2" of travel. |

Don't yell at me for saying this, but I just wanted to point out a correction that should be made to your topic title, which contains the term "muzzle breaks". The term should be "muzzle brakes". When, for example, you accidentally drop a glass jar on a concrete floor, the jar breaks. When you wish to reduce, or slow (i.e., "put the brakes on ") a rifle's recoil, you may want to install a muzzle brake.
I've been seeing this term misspelled so often, and for so long, that I just felt that I should write this message, in order to hopefully eliminate some confusion about this term. Jim-b. |

Awesome work. My silly SBR paperwork only good for 10.5 bbl. If you were to pin the flash suppressor what would be the total barrel length for your 7.5" model? Could you do this for an extra charge? Was looking at the Troy IND M7 kit but you guys blew them out of the water with this
