lol came as a trade… I always liked the Magpul lower… and that was not an option… the ARF lower is basically the same as the Magpul so when it came up as a trade option I jumped…
just need to pick up an ambi safety… and maybe a better FCG since the lpk was basically just a bunch of random parts laying around… but will have to see how it shoots first…
yup it is Larue I got it with the index clips… love Larue stuff… I had to grind it down a little front to back… found it a little long and it sat awkwardly between clips… but that only took like 2 seconds with a bench grinder…
had to change it up since I see so many FDE builds… FDE is great is you live in Iraq… or Afghanistan… but since I live in the northeast… lol not so much…
the ARF lower is essentially the magpul lower… I like it just fine… doubt I will change lowers…
as far as the spikes upper… it gets nothing but good reviews…
here is a review of a similar upper… everything to spec… clean assembly… inexpensive… what is not to like? https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=48283
still have not had any range time… in the process of moving to a new area… but in regular use for move and shoot I would be using the Aimpoint… I did NOT like the diamond shape at first… but after just checking it out playing around with it as I was building it… I think I am already used to it…
