Graduation present to myself! Spikes middy

Howdy folks!

Today is a good day! I graduate tonight as a doctor of pharmacy! It has been a long road. I decided to build myself a good AR for home/personal defense and range use, as a present to myself. Well luckily, my Spikes upper arrived today! I also had a slew of stuff that arrived last week.

There are a few components I need to change. I’ve got a commercial buffer tube (helluva time to find out, after I received my milspec Magpul MOE stock) so I’ll have to get a new milspec one. I also need a magpul MOE trigger guard. The gap on this standard one kills me! After that, the only thing I will change is the handguards to midlength magpul MOE handguards once they come out. After I learn this one, I may eventually get the BCM Gunfighter CH.

Now I just need to get a few rifle classes under my belt and a few thousand rounds of practice! This thing needs to get dirty.

Specs/etc:

  • Spikes midlength LE upper
  • Spikes BCG and CH
  • Double Star lower and LPK
  • Magpul ASAP sling mount/plate
  • Magpul MOE grip (I really like this grip! Especially vs the original)
  • BoBro Aimpoint mount (very nice)
  • Aimpoint ML2 (got a killer deal on it)
  • Magpul rear BUIS
  • Viking Tactical mount with Surefire G2 LED
  • Magpul MS2 sling

I didn’t get pics of the bolt/BC but I will later. The staking on the BC looks good, I’m no expert of course.

Nice and congratulations on your graduation.

Thanks much!
