Well today my last few parts came in, about a week ago I cancelled my lower order from Spikes and already built the enhanced version myself from buying parts off online vendors, I even saved $50. So now I've got a complete rifle, all the while everyone is waiting, you could just buy and build yourself. Not trying to offend, but the parts are out there and often times the vendors get these parts in before you will. Plus I love building things and its not that difficult. All I bought was an AR stock wrench, a punch set, and loctite. My DD rail came with a barrel wrench. Didn't even need some fancy upper or lower receiver block for the vise, just used a good towel and careful positioning. Here's the layout - Spikes Tactical Calico Jack stripped lower - CMMG LPK - Spikes Tactical NiB "Battle trigger" - Spikes Tactical tube assembly - Spikes Tactical NiB BCG - Magpul aluminum trigger guard - Magpul B.A.D. lever - Magpul CTR stock - Magpul 30 rd magazine - Ergo grip - Daniel Defense upper receiver - Daniel Defense 9.0 Lite Rail - BCM Medium Gunfighter charging handle - Spikes Tactical FN CHF 16" 1:7 barrel - VLTOR gas block - YHM Comp/Brake - ADCO Gas tube

Well, I'm at just over 10 weeks for a complete rifle; ST-15 16"Mid-length LE w/13.2" S.A.R., ST- FN Cold Hammer Forged 16 Mid-Length Barrel (5.56), Spike's Tactical Dynacomp Extreme (5.56), Nickel Boron HPT/MPI M16 BCG (5.56), Enhanced Lower Parts Kit (Installed), BCM Gunfighter w/ Mod 4 Medium Latch, and Magpul MBUS Front & Rear. It sure will be a nice rifle when I get it. Last I heard my lower was completed and they were waiting on something to finish my upper...Gas Tube, NiB BCG, or Upper Receiver. At least I know it's on the bench. And so I wait...some what patiently...

Hey, if we keep investigating, we may find the issue and help resolve it.

This what I didn't get buddy just stated his build started and he is just over 10 weeks but several people are in week 12-13 and have no info on their rifles..makes no sense.

I ordered a standard lower 3/27 and it shipped today, 4/24. Not as bad as I was expecting! Hang in there.
