Re: Anyone know of Spike lowers in stock?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: plong</div><div class="ubbcode-body">+1 on AIM Surplus; usually have them or will soon and very good prices when they do.
FYI on the the lower itself: Spikes = DPMS = Bushy = LAR ... LAR makes and 'private labels' lowers for all of the above plus others. There are only a handful of actual manufacturers of AR lower receivers. My go lately (last 3 builds) has been Aero Precision, available from
Surplus Arms & Ammo. Excellent quality and a great price. Aero is primarily a Boeing subcontractor and actually machines their own lowers.
EDIT: I just checked and the price of the Aero lower has gone from the $79.99 I paid with my last order about two months ago to $94.99 now, so not as good a price as they had been but still not bad for the quality. Makes me wonder: are we starting to see another election year price run-up?

I have that feeling as well...
I also heard very good things about PSA (Palmetto State Armory) as well. They are 75 shipped.
I also just started reading about this poly lower called LW15. It's an interesting concept and for a SBR it can be interesting to keep the weight to minimum. but What I get now will eventually become an SBR and I'd hate to get a poly that eventually stresses out and cracks and there goes a SBR lower =/
still worth checking out maybe, I don't know... 99 bucks for an assembled lower. if it breaks, they'll replace it, and then you keep it as a spare for future or slap a 22 on it
