Stuck on a couple of choices, Spikes or DS Arms

[C4IGrant]

colt is absolutely out of the question. I will do my best to never buy a colt product ever again.

Do yall remember when colt stopped selling their products to the public a few years ago? If I was not good enough to buy a colt product then, they do not need my money now.

So it would be better to go with a Spikes then with a DS Arms?

Nope, I don't. The reason I don't remember it is because it never happened.

Google, ar15.com, m4carbine,,,, various other gun forums.

My first 2 choices were between BCM and Spikes. From what I have read, people rank BCM and Spikes right in with each other.

When 2 products are ranked with each other, I can not justify spending extra money on a given product.

A lot of people suggesting BCM. Once a certain price point is reached, I have to be able to justify the extra cost with extra quality. If I buy a BCM, can I expect BCM to be superior to a Spikes?

These people would be moron's.

Grant, just for reference for this guy, what would be the cost of a complete BCM 16" middy with MOE furniture and a MBUS rear sight?

Shortly after the assault rifle ban of 1989, colt stopped selling their AR rifles to the general public.

In 1989, Colt voluntarily stopped selling the AR-15 to civilians in response to the Bush Administration's ban on the importation of assault weapons

Now what were you saying about colt never stopped selling ARs to the public?

You can't even read the very next sentence after the one you quoted?

When Colt was sold in 1990, the new owners reversed that decision and resumed the manufacture and sale of a "modified" AR-15 to civilians, renaming it the "Sporter."

I guess you think we should still be handing out 40 acres and a mule and paying reparations to the Indians too huh?

Buy a Spikes.

BTW, reading posts on internet forums is not "research".

Take this: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...on&key=UPR-BCM

Add this: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...tion&key=LWR-C

Put this on the back: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...on&key=A1-BUIS

And you have a complete BCM M4 that will be bulletproof and run forever. All for $959.95

ETA: The links dropped the options. I added a BCM bolt carrier group, M4 Handguards, and a Mod4 Gunfighter charging handle to the upper, and a BCM M4 stock to the lower.

Or, get a factory complete Daniel Defense (equal quality to BCM, Colt, ETC) with a Pmag, case, papers, etc for $999.99: http://www.smartgunner.com/Daniel-De...arbine-XV.aspx

The question was if colt ever stopped selling AR rifles to the public.

Its pretty obvious that colt started selling again.

Or, get a factory complete Daniel Defense

Is DD the same quality as BCM?

Think I will keep leaning towards a BCM midlength

Dude, you are reaching here.

You are the one that made the comment "it never happened" - referring to colt never stopped selling their rifles to the public.

Well, it did happen. Even though it was for a short period of time, colt did stop selling their AR rifles to the general public.

And that is why I will not buy a colt product.

What I am getting out of this thread, if I want to spend some extra money, buy a BCM.

If I want to keep the price at $1,000 or below, buy a Spikes. But if I buy a spikes, I will be promoting a company that hiked its prices after obama was elected.

Besides a Spikes, what is a good comparable AR? One of my other choices was a S&W M&P. Academy sports and outdoors as S&W M&Ps for around $900 - $975.
