Hey everyone, I was looking for the most cost-effective dedicated .22LR upper for my AR.

I just found out that the spike's BARFCOM group buy is still open so I can get their basic upper with the M4 handguards and 2 magazines for $550.

However, I found this on Cheaper than Dirt for only $399.

My goal was to stay under $500, but since the Spikes gb offer comes with 2 mags, that is offset about $60.

1st: ignoring prices, what would you do? Go with the proven spike's dedicated upper? Or get the cheaper one from CtD?? Does it make a difference?

And 2nd: taking my HUGE (just kidding) budget into account, what would you do?

Thanks guys. Hopefully someday I'll be the one ANSWERING questions instead of ASKING them all the time! :a22: :a01:

I say support a good company that will support you in the end if you have any problems. Go with spikes you will be happy, I know I am! Their 22LR upper is easy to clean since it is chromed as well, I cant speak for the other kit from CTD, Oh and who wants a 10rd mag anyways?

GO with the spikes. I bought two during the group buy. To my knowledge the group buy ended last week. Price during the group buy was 550, after the group buy was over it went back to 600...Tom just said the other day that they have been selling so well he lowered the price 50 dollars!

I would have to go with the spikes upper. At the end of the day, known quality is a good thing
