Im jk... I cancelled my Punisher lower that I ordered 2-14, after 11wks, my ffl checked on the dealer site, and they said "extended backorder"... so I said cancel it, found 2 stripped Punisher Lowers, a Spikes LPK, grabbed an MOE stock and bang-completed rifle! It was better just building it myself, was much easier than I thought, and paid about $80 less! Weird that my upper came rather quickly, about 7wks after I ordered it.. Gotta say, Spikes quality is INSANE tho! Industry wide there is a huge backlog of parts, even the big armories have wait times.

Got my spikes mid length carbine in today. Didn't upgrade anything but the sights to the A2 carry handle. I ordered it on 2/9. For those of you waiting for parts and rifles, I know its tough, but you can do it. This rifle is of superb quality and was well worth the price/wait.

Ordered a basic middy on 02/27 got email today. Its a hard wait considered canceling a couple times but all other places have long waits and I chose spikes because after many weeks of gathering the evidence they seem to have a rock solid product. Be patient my brothers your time will come.

If it makes anyone happy...one of my orders shipped today...but it was just a barrel (I'm upgrading one of my existing Spikes rifles from a standard barrel to a CHF one). There's hope yet!

Be patient my brothers your time will come. What. The. Fuck. I ordered a basic stock middy off their website, no mods, no upgrades, 2 days before you and my order status still has not changed. I think Spikes may be getting a call from a slightly upset customer. Congrats by the way.
