Well, I finally got around to installing some parts that I had collecting, now I am just waiting for BCM to get their 14.5" Middys in and I will be all set! All I need now is some optics and a sling and im ready to rock.  Thanks to ARFCOM and its members for all the help and instructions on assembling, it went smooth with no problems!

Parts list:
Spikes Punisher lower
Magpul ACS OD Green stock kit
Palmetto Magpul MIAD OD Green LPK
Magpul BAD lever
Magpul OD Green Pmags w/ranger plates
ST-T2 Heavy Buffer *on order*

You might notice that I dont have a trigger guard, I didn't get my Magpul enhanced trigger guard in the LPK kit. Just waiting for it to be sent to me.




I will update the build as I get the parts, a few pieces at a times as I can afford them!! SD79

Just wanted to share my new edition to the build, a Primary Arms M3 w/Aimpoint rubber cover. I also got a Magpul ASAP plate and sling but that is yet to be installed. Cant wait to get this on the finished rifle!! Just waiting for BCM to get their 14.5 Middys in stock...

Thanks!! The ACS is kinda heavy but, I hope it evens out when I get the upper on there. I love the cheek weld on it though, feels great! SD79

I like the OD green colorfilling of the Spike's rollmark.

Did you buy it like this from Spike's or is this something you did yourself? And if so, how'd you do it?

I colored the rollmarks myself with testors paint. There's a thread on here that explains how, just do a search on it. There's nothing to it! SD79

EXACTLY the same situation here... They sent me the flat one, they clearly advertise the LPK with the enhanced trigger guard. What is with that? I emailed them and they said they are shipping me out one.

Yeah their customer service is really good. They always keep the customers happy. The mailman lost my 1st package and they sent me another lpk for free

Just ordered the Primary Arms M3 red dot!!

Didn't want to wait too long before they were all out of stock like everything else I want! I thought that the M3's were 2 MOA and not 3 MOA? Either way I think I will be happy with it, now I just have to get my magnifier w/ flip to side mount and my optics are GTG...

i think the BCM sticker on the stock is ridiculous
what purpose does the rubber aimpoint cover serve on your knockoff aimpoint, other than trying to make it look like you have the real thing? should have spent that money on another pmag or two.

other than that it looks like a nice rifle. which 14.5" middy are you looking for? the BFH 14.5" middy upper is in stock and the FA BCGs were in stock yesterday

It serves no purpose other than to protect the optics and cover the mounting ring, I would rather not have it say Aimpoint since it is NOT, I could not find one that did not say Aimpoint on it so I had to go with it!!

I'm waiting for the BCM 14.5 complete upper with the 12" rail w/ low-pro gas block and BC comp. SD79

shoot your rifle in the heat a few times, and that sticker will end up a sweaty adhesive mess

i've been waiting since last fall for the BCM BFH 14.5" middies to be released as a stripped barrel... waiting sucks...

YES... waiting sucks! I'm not sure how much longer I can wait, I might just have to build it from parts if they dont come in stock soon. $$ is burning a hole in my pocket and want my rifle complete. I contacted them about 3 months ago about it and they said it would be early to late spring before they get any of them back in stock!! SD79
