So Who's Ready to Stock up on some Lowers?

Our Lowers are Forged out of 7075 Alumnium.

They are in Spec. and Ready to Assemble "No Blems".

These Lowers Have a Beautiful Dark Matte Black Anodizing.

All the Markings Are Done on a Mill, Not a Stamp or Roll Mark. So All the Markings Are Crisp, Clean, and Full of Detail.

All the Flash/Forged Marks have been Removed from the Front of the Magwell and Trigger Area "Prior to Anodizing".

All the Lowers are going to be Marked Multi-Cal with Color Filled HK-Style Pictogram Bullet Markings.

This Batch of Lowers will Have the New SAR Serial Number Prefix, It Won't Have the THUG Prefix That's Pictured Below.

Lowers are Avilable Here

Thanks [email protected]'s Tactical

Re: Spike's Tactical Stripped Lower Group Buy **Now Open**

This is a great deal on these lowers fellas! I have 2 Spike's lowers no complaints, one on my M4 and the other on my 6.8 SPC that Tom recently did for me (It's me Rob21sf). The quality, fit, and finish is real nice!! The customer service and support also outstanding!

Thanks Rob, Nice to see you here. Did you get a chance to shoot that upper yet? Are you happy with how it turned out?

I would have to agree completely as I have several of Spikes lowers and uppers. No complaints here.

I just sent in my payment for two and e-mailed the FFL, so now the waiting begins. Not long, but like a kid at Christmas, any wait at all is too much!
Thanks!

Don't worry, knowing Spike's you should get them in real quick and will be happy with the quality, fit , and finish.

They have already made the min order, the Group Buy is over on AR15,com and they usually run great group buys, for 100 dollars for an HK style marked lower, its a great deal.

Re: Spike's Tactical Stripped Lower Group Buy **Now Open**

I got my two lowers today and they are very nice. I am a bit disappointed though since I asked for two consecutive numbered lowers and followed the directions given to me to the letter to assure that I got them that way. Hell, they weren't even close. There was a small scratch on one lower right at the mag release button but nothing a Sharpie won't cover and when the mag release button is installed it would be hard to see anyway.
They look great, the finish is even, jet black, and the engraving and paint filling is the best I have seen. Even with the small scratch they are quite the bargain and well worth the money (like they are going to remain scratch free forever anyway). I am sure if I had had my dealer return them to Spike's they would have corrected the serial number mistake but that is just too much of a hassle for something trivial like consecutive serial numbers. But it still would have been nice to have consecutive numbered lowers like I have with two sets of Ameetec lowers and one set of LCW lowers.
Maybe next time...

If its something you cant live with Send them back, We will get you 2 lowers with consecutive serial numbers, scratch free. You dont need your dealer to send them back, we are an FFL so you can send them directly to us. Although we were not offering consecutive serial numbers for the Group Buy Ill still take care of it.

Give Angela a call at 407-928-2666 to get the return info.

Thanks again for your business and sorry for the issue that you have.

Re: Spike's Tactical Stripped Lower Group Buy **Now Open**

I knew you would make it good if I had chosen to make an issue of it (sorry, I had not seen your reply until today. I had forgotten all about this post on this forum). My previous report was more of "this is the way it was" more than a complaint. I waffled back and forth all month on should I get some more or not and I could not wait any longer, I came back in on the last day and ordered 4 more lowers. This time, as you directed me on AR15.com, I called Angela this afternoon and she shipped me out 4 consecutive numbered lowers. The scratches, well, that was more of a reporting not a complaint. They are going to get scratched sooner or later so a small rather insignificant handling scratch is not something I am going to get my panties in a bunch over. Now, should another ban come I can have these 6 lowers built up and ready to replace a lower already built should one get damaged, or I get a hankering to finish building yet another-or six-rifle(s). But first I will have to get into the new house and where the vault will have more room for more toys. Things are starting to get a little crowded in the old safe.

So, now that the sale is over, what was the total sold here and on AR15.com? A lot of us are curious to know.
And thank Angela again for a really nice birthday present!

6-5-08 (arrived 6-4-08)
I Picked up my 4 lowers today and they were perfect and the consecutive serial numbers were more than I would have ever hoped for. I asked for consecutive and would have been happy with any 4 consecs, but what I got was a consecutive set of 4 that started with a SAR00x00 through SAR00x003. I mean, how cool is that?
That really did make this birthday extra special.
Thank you very much and I hope you will consider running another before the Antis bring in another ban.

I think since the AR15.com Group buy is over this price is likely no longer good, but call them and mention you saw it on 68forums.com and see what they say!
