[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Difference in These Mid-Lengths ??

Posted: 8/10/2011 7:31:19 AM EDT

I am looking to buy a Spikes Tactical ST-15 Mid-Length. Loooooong wait, I know.

Anyway, the basic middy that Spikes has is 859.95.
Aim is selling a basic Spikes middy for 769.95.

The only difference that is apparent is the Spikes middy that Aim is selling has a removeable carry handle where the Spikes middy that Spikes is selling has a Magpul Mbus rear sight.
After going over the specs of each, I see no real differences between the two.
I must be missing something because of the price difference.
Anyone have any insight?

Ask AIM and/or ST in there respective forums in the Industry section. One of there strengths, both of them, is that they will answer pretty quickly.

Get the one from AIM if it is in stock. You could sale the carry handle and buy the MBUS if you wanted.

I talked to Tim@Aim and he said the mid-length that is sold by Spikes has a couple more 'bells and whistles' but didn't go into specifics.
Going over the specs of both, I'm not really seeing any extra 'bells and whistles'. Gotta be missng something because of the price difference.

It's list price vs. retail pricing, parts not withstanding.

I would rather have the handle over a plastic sight.

Yep, I prefer the handle also, but there has to be more of a difference.
I guess I'll ask in the industry forum.
