AIM Surplus periodically has Spikes lowers for $80 plus shipping and transfer.  They sell out quick so if they're in stock you have to jump on them fast.

Yeah, Spikes are nice ones. 

Most AR lowers are of equal quality, though some have features that others don't.


Most common brands range from about $60 to $120(non-billit, those are over twice as much).  It all depends on what you want it to say on the sides.

Looking for a particular brand or features?

EDIT:  If you are looking for a billit-style lower, I suggest talking to Scott over at Reaper Arms in Shelby, NE.  These things are wicked and look to be of excellent quality.

Spikes isn't a bad brand...  It also has a spider as an emblem which looks neat to me...  As a previous post stated, AIM surplus usually has them stripped for $79.99.

Hmmm.... is it a spider, or a Wookie from Star Wars? 

You decide:

I need to color fill the wookie/spider on my Spikes lower.  Red, green, or gray, I haven't decided yet.
