Who here deals with Spikes Tactical.

[Jack]

Im wanting to get one of their lowers but I do not want to get butt hurt on the ffl transfer fees.Could anyone local order a lower from them and keep the price pretty reasonable?

Im wanting the pirate lower if that matters.

Hero Gear carries Spikes Lowers.

Just find an FFL wiling to work with you. Most "good" gun shops will special order for you.

I picked up a Spikes stripped lower from Classic Arms in Cordova a year and a half ago or so.

Does Hero Gear still carry them? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/372477-post16.html

After reading what they did to Joe, I'd not support that company - too many good companies making lowers to support one that screws their retailers.

You need to read further.

Care to provide a link or are we stuck with 'advice'?

All I know is you and Joe both ripped Spiked publicly here for the way they treated their retailers, so if there's more to the story, edumacate us.

I wonder who makes Spikes' lowers. Either way I've been wanting a Jolly Rogers Lower for ages.

[BimmerFreak]

We have 300+ Spikes lowers in stock.

Spikes has had a wild ride (as have many dealers/manufacturers) in the aftermath of the "Great gun run of early '09" with up 20% of FFLs going out of business this year, and several major manufacturers suffering the same fate.

The above mentioned thread does document the details of Spike's actions, and how they have worked to rebuild some relationships in the industry.

Please refer to this post: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/hero-gear-llc/25044-lower-fiasco.html#post385770

for details of our current feelings and status with Spikes.

I've dealt with Spike's several times on a first hand basis and they've always treated me excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything at all from them. They're great!

[killerford]

classic arms has one in stock new and one that is complete as of today

[gtssilver]

I ordered a custom lower from them and had it sent to a friend who has a FFL. They were great to do business with! I ordered a lower with all the markings, spider, bullet diagrams in tan and a flag etched on the opposite side and a lower parts kit. This all took place late during the AR rush and they got it out to me in under a week.

I got one of the Jolly Roger lowers for Christmas last year. You will like it. It is very nice.

+1 on Spikes. I've ordered stuff from them, and have had a great experience.
