My Spikes Tactical ar is finally here. Pics posted

Postby kbates13 on Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:47 pm

So I orderd my spikes tactical ST15 about 7 weeks ago from thunderjohn and I just got it yesterday! I just changed the handguard, sight, and stock. I am a noob to long guns so if yo guys could help me with what I should do to break it in or what not I would appreciate it. Also if you want the carry handle or stock their for sale if you want to send an offer (a penny and a hand job wont do it) well just let me know what you think so far? I will be getting a digital camo paint job after motorcycle season.Image

Just shoot it to break it in.

Should I clean it before shooting?

I always clean and lube before shooting a new firearm. My Spikes actually came lubed well, I could have just run a bore-snake through and shot it, but, like I said, I always clean and lube before shooting a new firearm.

Yea I think the railed guard is really cool looking and I plan to put a light on the side of it and maybe put some of those snap on Magpul camo things (I forgot what the name of them was). But I'm going to make it look and feel like mine.
