My first AR is up and running
Went out and got the upper today and went straight to the range.
Ate up a 100ct bulk pack of Federal and a box of Federal Tracers without a single issue.
I think a Vortex Strikefire will be next. For what I will use this for I decided against my original plan of an Aimpoint of Eotech - the cost difference will be better used for more ammo
Build list:
Spikes stripped lower
Spikes buffer assembly w/ T2 buffer
Spikes Midlength upper
PSA LPK w/ MOE accessories
Magpul Hand Guard
Magpul STR stock
Magpul MBUS rear sight
Magpul 30-round PMags
As it sits on the table: $924 without shipping/tax/transferLast edited by IntenseImage; October 27th, 2012 at 08:52 PM.

Re: My first AR is up and running
Didn't take target pics. Was getting used to the sight and had a few others shooting just for fun

NIIIICE!
In as much as black rifle can be pretty, She is BEAUTIFUL! I am partial to the spikes lowers (probably from playing too much borderlands - I equate the spider with vitriolic...) I just got the vortex red/green strikefire for one of mine (Palmetto state armory had a $50 off coupon ((code = strikefire)) on their website ) I really like it except for the covers - the don't fit well.
Nice rifle.

Re: My first AR is up and running
How is the gas on that Spike's middy? The BCMs seem a little undergassed to me. Makes for a smooth-shooting gun but it's not exactly confidence inspiring.
Very nice rifle. Almost the same as the last one I did except for branding.

Re: My first AR is up and running
You understood just fine. I was asking if it cycled light, with a sense of purpose, or like it was going to tear itself apart. Sounds like it's on the light end like mine.

Re: My first AR is up and running
STR is great so far. Went with this over the CTR due to the larger cheek weld
