They did not re-release the original space-force design, those sold like hotcakes, even with a high volume of requests. Mattis may not have been as popular. I think many designs will likely be finished once the runs are done, Josiah has said something along those lines a few time in this thread.

I'm almost certain you're correct.  If they made 2500 of a given lower like the Mattis, it just wouldn't make good sense to dump all 2500 into the online inventory without holding any back.  What if one gets damaged in shipping and the customer needs a replacement, or what if someone receives theirs and finds a blemish that QC missed and they want a replacement?  They would be foolish not to hold back 15 or 20 just in case.  Just because they showed back up on the website briefly today doesn't necessarily mean they ran off and made more.

Having said that, it would be REALLY nice if Josiah had a spare Turkey lower stashed away in his desk drawer that I could somehow purchase.  I've bought all the others so far, but missed the Turkey trying to save on transfer fees.

Obviously we can not prove that Spikes stole the idea from this thread, but it sure as shit looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and shits like a duck.  So lets just call it a duck.  How generous of them to donate only 20% of the $175 lower.  I am finally motivated to get rid of my two Spikes "Dueling Dicks" pistol lowers.  I will sell them on the EE and build out a couple of the new PSA stripped lowers that have been sitting in my safe collecting dust.  FSpikes

Oh yeah, if they really wanted to help cancer research they could take a lesson from Larue and his Dillo's.  That man knows how to donate and help others.

I was the one who suggested that PSA charge $10.00 more per lower and donate the money.  I also suggested they sell serial numbers that may represent birth/pasaing dates at a high premium for meroirial builds but that idea got shot down. Would have been more work on their part but the check going to Cancer Society and look on their face knowing it came from gun loving individuals would have been well worth it...

Well, I guess at least Spikes is donating to the cause and that is the most important thing. We are all in it together on this issue.

Snek, then this, at least the cancer rip is for a good cause.
Maybe low sales has Spikes worried, it would explain the listings for watches and skateboards on their site (cause rifles and skateboards go together like peas and carrots ).
Or, why they feel the need to trash talk other firearm companies at every opportunity.
Folks knowing how to build their own AR's these days must make selling rebranded rifles a bit tough.

On a positive note, with PSA letting us know they engrave with high end lasers, I am pretty sure if the demand was high enough, we could come up with some pretty stellar new designs.
Sure, there would be a cost difference, most laser engraving is billed by time, depth, and/ or square inch surface area, but it is doable.

Maybe a laser "pro" series? How awesome would a high end custom PSA shop be?

Guys, I have an extra SNEK lower, sn is mid 2200's still in bubble wrap. If someone wants it for what I paid for it, I'd hand it over for 49.99 plus $8 shipping of course :)!  Laid off recently and every little bit helps. It would need to ship to your ffl, or face-to-face in the Springfield,Mo area.

Thought I would mention it here before I put it in the "general population" EE. IM or email is fine.

At least the Spikes one looks ok (assuming there’s no stupid spider logo).

The PSA one should’ve been:

Please don't get me wrong, I own some Spikes stuff. Seekins Gen1 billet lowers, Seekins BAR rails, Fail Zero/ WMD NiB BCG's, and FN barrels, but that was back when those goods could not be ordered directly from the Mfg. And every purchase came with a premium Spikes mark up.

I do believe Spikes rushed that Cancer lower to market (no proof though). Wasn't sure about the Snek knockoff, the selector markings DO NOT match the engraving on the Snek, so maybe a last minute change up. The Cancer lower is cut from a standard Spikes lower already produced (no special selector markings, serial, or variant. May be wrong here as well, but I doubt it). I would really be surprised to see anything other that the Spider logo on the other side of that lower.

Deep reverse cuts do look good, I will give em that, but nothing hard to design, looks like a FORD font. Anyone with a 40-60watt laser and some time could take pre-anodized lowers and cut em quick. I know, because I've been shopping lasers as of late, 100watters are pricey.

This thread needs moar build pics
I was thinking about doing something different a while back when BrickWurX posted his amazing build and I loved the brushed metal look. I kinda wanted to do a black/bare metal look but so far I'm not sure it looks as good as I was hoping, might have to paint some parts to match.

I'm currently working on designing/3D printing a sliding thumbhole stock(grip is 3D printed). I got my SBR stamp back so I am gonna install as soon as I get my design finished.

For the receivers I sanded down the BCA () upper, decided to hire out getting a brushed finish on the lower. Can't tell from my shitty pics but the lower looks great. Going with the bare metal receivers I got some bare parts: Ti mag catch, Ti takedown pins, SS handguard cap holder , and soon to be Ti suppressor.
