I purchased my Spikes MOE Middy Lower from Joebobsoutfitters.com and received in like 32hrs. They are awesome and ship fast. I then ordered a Spikes Complete Zombie Lower direct from Spikes the last week of Dec. Got tired of waiting and cancelled it Monday. Building my lower myself now. Ordered a Stripped Spikes Zombie lower from Riflegear.com this am and it shipped today.... Already have the tracking number. Us boys become impatient when it comes to our toys. Kudos to the gals in Spikes Customer Service. ...Were very helpful and nice in my cancel and issuing refund to my card.

AIM has Zombie lowers for cheap...if only they had Punisher lowers in stock, too!

Are you assembling yourself or getting help from a friend or a 'smith? Did you buy any tools?

Just received a notice for shipping on my Upper. Ordered: Upper (5.56) 16" M4 LE w/7" BAR Rail & FSP on January 19, 2012. Status in my account said "processing" on January 30, then received the email for shipping on January 31st.
Not a bad wait time! Can't wait to get shooting. Just waiting on shipping time from Florida to California.

Just got the email, my rifle shipped to my dealer today. Should be there Friday. Ordered on Dec. 19th.
Now if only I could find someone to engrave my logo for me. Orion said 3 week lead time. I waited about 7 weeks for this by the time I get it, I'm not shipping it off another 3...

Picked up the Precious this afternoon! About 6 weeks. I was starting to think it wasn't worth it, but then I opened the case, picked it up & grinned like an idiot the whole way home!  I'd ordered some custom mags with Eddie on them while I waited.

@ Joemal ... " Do you mind me asking where you got your LPK, buffer kit, etc, and what brand?? Are you assembling yourself or getting help from a friend or a 'smith? Did you buy any tools?".... I got a Stag Arms LPK from my FFL dealer when I picked up my Zombie Lower. I got Magpul MOE Stock, MOE+Grip, MOE trigger Guard, Vltor Buffer Tube, Wolff XP Buffer Spring, Colt Castle Nut, and Doublestar Amidex Sling Point End Plate all from Brownells. Spikes ST-T2 buffer came with my Spikes UPPER from Joebobsoutfitters .com ....... I bought a roll pin punch kit and two hammers (one 8oz pallpin and one Mallet with screw in multiple non metalic screw in heads) 20 bucks in all in tools from Harbor Freight. My brother and I put it together in about 3 hrs (first build for both of us). The xtra set of hands was great. If i had to do it over i would order a vice block that goes in the mag well for $15 and some longer 3/32 and 5/32 punches. Use lots of blue masking tape to protect finish and gunoil or clp to help get rollpins in. Watch lots of youtube vids.... It was not as hard as i thought it would be...... Private message me ur email and i'll email u pics of it.
