A few months ago I posted on here about my build and was using the standard R&D colt mag adapter with PSA lower. I did the snake bite mod and properly adjusted my ejector, but kept running into problems.

No matter how hard I tried to secure the adaptor it would always slide up with inserting a mag with the slightest amount of force. I eventually gave up on it and decided to give the spikes lower a shot. And man am I happy I did. This thing ran great right out of the box. I even contacted spikes to get a second ejector as a backup, if I ended up adjusting mine wrong. Well I guess I got lucky, because out of the box even with the ejector not perfect, this thing has run flawlessly suppressed and unsuppressed. Both the C product and metal form mags feed and fit great. LRBHO has worked on everything, and I’m finally happy to have an AR9 that can run with a little abuse.

If you’re thinking of making a colt mag style I highly recommend just spending a little bit of money and getting a dedicated lower.

Can’t wait to try them all, the orange and clove tuna seems like it will be…interesting.

Edit:spelling

They have a Vepr 5.45 for $5500. Claimed to be brand new and unfired. Comes with 6 mags. Did these things really shoot up to this high?

Sam7k from arsenal’s 250 sale. Form 1 submitted and polo30 out front.

I was suckered in by the 250 sale. Somehow I doubt there was only 250 of each.

Anyway, hopefully it’s fun at least. Still need to pick up a side rail optics mount and throw one of my holosuns on it. Might also invest in some new furniture in the future.

Are these gas tubes always so loose/rattly? It seems to move around a lot compared to my m70. But the locking system seems to just be a pin.

The wife won’t let me buy a sam7k so I’m left playing with this fat bitch. I never paid much attention to the extra pound on the yugo’s, but putting the heaviest suppressor I have on it really made me realize I need a short setup.

PSA stealth lower, with Brownells 733 clone upper. Out front is a CAT RDM ODB and up top is a cheap vortex strikefire II sitting on a Leupold handle mount.

I finally got the supersaftey running perfect, and am waiting on its form 1 to clear so I can’t get a proper CAR15 stock on it.

And on the couch is Redacted.

Supersaftey finally running flawlessly with the CAT ODB. Just waiting on my form1 to throw a proper stock on her. And maybe pick up an aimpoint optic.
