I’m the guy that really dislikes all the silly zombie lowers, star wars lowers, punisher lowers, selector marking like pew pew, dead, undead, etc. and the dust covers with the funny phrases.
However, I have found myself really liking Spikes Calico Jack lower with the normal selector markings. Whats M4C’s opinion about is lower? Cheesy or not?
Go with what you like/want, but expect mixed opinions if you ask what everyone thinks, since it’s purely subjective. personally, i think the calico jack is cool, but a little played out.
Have to +1 this. I think its the best logo spikes makes. If you get a decent price on it. Go for it. I have a spikes lower that I SBRed and I dont care what people think of it. The rifle runs and works. I say get one. Unless you have a option to pick up a BCM or KAC or Noveske Gen2, then obviously I would choose differently. The battle arms lowers have an excellent finish if you haven’t considered one of those yet. Logo is pretty neat also.
If you like it then who cares what others think? I tend to look at “everything” on an AR.
My ideal logo would be the Gadsden flag, but if I cheesed up the total build with a bunch of lame ass parts the logo won’t save it.
I’m not a huge fan of this lower…i think it’s the goofy smile on the skull head. I do like the selector switch’s “parley, aarrr, and plunder” settings. Definitely like it better than the goofy zombie.
Not cheesy.
I had one and did a full Spikes build on it and sold it when I heard ST referred to as “mall ninja” stuff. Where I made my mistake (In my opinion) was a full Spikes build. Loved the logo on the lower and wished that I had it back…I like to think that I would’ve been a helluva pirate. If I get another, and I just might, I’d throw a BCM LW upper on it this go round…
Even without the two penises crushing a bug logo, its still a spikes…
Not really my style, but Spikes stuff is quality whether you like it or not.
I put together a Spikes upper with a 16" Optimum barrel and it was an awesome shooter.
No, it’s not cheesy. The regular Spikes logo is cheesy. The Calico Jack is cheesier. I want my own personal Jolly Roger on a lower. That would be cheesiest of all 
If you want cheesier, get cheesier. I’m still trying to figure out how to get cheesiest
Not my style but if you like it, go for it.
I think they are cool.
Well, since you asked…
I think it’s gay. I don’t care for too many “images” on lowers, including KACs. I think they’re all cheesy. About the only one I can tolerate is Colt.
I on one and it’s been a solid lower, I like the roll mark and think its cool.
That was so Zero Dark Thirty. Honey Badger is the latest and greatest.
I like Honey Badgers but that one kind of looks weak…
Yes, its cheesy.
I’m not a pirate. I don’t have ‘badass’ animals all over my gun either.
The chrome mudflap girl would do it.
Pirates are cool, what would others think if I got the honey badger, I wouldn’t give a shit…see what I did there?
But really though if you like it get it. It’s the new fad, you may always think it looks good, others may always like it too, but getting a standard lower (no funny roll marks) is like always wearing a tuxedo it will never go out of style.
I opt for the tuxedo.
Even without the two penises crushing a bug logo, its still a spikes…
Have you looked at the sword grips/pommel on those lowers? LOL…they resemble them more than the spiders. The actual flag has them too, I can barely look without having to look away.
I have one. I dont really mind it, but not my fav either. Its better than the spider/tummy sticks lowers. I prefer my aero precision lowers, not as gaudy. And colt of course. I will say everything I’ve ever bought from spikes has been good. But man do i hate the spider logo. The spider - thats cheesy.
