Ordering a Spikes lower today.

[Glocktogo]

business is business... lol. you guys would rather pay more now for a lower than save some money? but back then you wouldn't pay more for a lower?

you're shooting yourselves in the foot if you're looking for a lower and dont take advantage of the low price for quality parts.

After that way they handled an order I placed with them (prior to the Nov gouging) I wouldn't order a lower from them even if I had to pay double for anyone else's lower. I never support companies with dubious business practices.

Not to mention the ammo that went up by as much as 300% or more.

The price of copper went up nearly 300%.I don't think ammo companies had much choice but now it has dropped considerably so we'll see

I'm not talking about ammo companies gouging, I'm talking about members here who bought WWB at Wal-Mart and then tried to sell it at ridiculous prices.

Same thing happened at a number of gun-stores by way of Wal-Mart managers who were buying ammo before it hit the shelves and selling it to gun-stores and pawn-shops. I know of 3 Wal-Mart managers who were fired over this and I reported one myself once someone here posted the hot line number.

All that being said, I'd still rather have more choices than less - I don't hold anything against folks who refuse to do business with these places, but I've also started thinking that if we all hold-out on these places and more and more of them go out of business, how much better off is the firearms community (especially if these places learned a lesson out of it).

I will also post pics of my build as I go along and I will make sure to edit the company name off of the lower.

Im wanting to build a 10.5in SBR. Im thinking about using YHM parts for the upper. Like I said before I dont have alot of spare cash at the moment so Ill probably order a stripped upper as well and order what I can as the extra money is there. Im planning on getting a can for it as well.

Sounds like a cool build, I have a department issued 11" SBR. My plans are for a 7" 9mm.
