I am wondering what the barrel accuracy compared to a Spikes upper would be with your new dedicated 22 upper that is offered. Does the upper require any tweaking to make it work reliable? Does it run on Federal Bulk pack ammo? Thanks. This one by the way CMMG Upper |

I was was wondering on the mod part because I have heard the Spikes kits often need tuneing to get them to run reliable. I know the CMMG uppers I have shot in the past are by far more accurate than I am. I am leaning heavly to the CMMG upper since I have the CMMG conversion kit and it has been rock solid for me. Do you make the barrels or are they provided by a third party?
Are they in stock and how fast do they get shipped out once the order is placed? Thanks. |

I am very impressed. I ordered the upper on Thursday and Monday the brown truck dropped it off today. I put 2 mags through it today but was not able to do any accuracy testing do to the strong wind. Zero malfunctions ran perfectly and I rapid fired most of them. The upper is very light and balanced very well on a bare bones setup. The barrel is thin profile under the forearm and there was a little bit of recoil felt on the shoulder, enough to let you know it fired. I get the feeling that many rounds will be going down this pipe.
Just a couple of pictures, At least I kept my feet out of the pic. 
It is kinda a mutt AR, Rock River lower, DPMS LPK, Bushmaster carry handle and a 4 position stock with no buffer or spring. Very light. I did have to put some pressure to get the BCG out of the upper, I get the feeling it is just new gun tight or is this normal? |
| The one I got ran perfectly right out of the box. I have had one stove pipe and one dud rimfire shell in 200 rounds through it. Most of it being rapid fire. Have used Black dog mags and a CMMG mag with no problem. I have used Federal Bulk pack ammo for all of its shooting. It cleaned up with a nylon brush and some gun scrubber, wiped it down with a oiled rag and a couple of drops on the guide rails and it was good to go. |

We will get some results posted on accuracy in the near future. So faf, accuracy has been on par with any comparable kit on the market.
Any updates? Could you be more specific as to the accuracy you're getting with your uppers? There is another posting with some targets |

We had run 2500 rounds through the upper in Full Auto this weekend and the thing ran like a top. Everybody loves it. Once the upper loosened up a little it has been flawless and puts a smile on everybody's face. Going to clean it up and do some slow fire bench shooting to check the accuracy now that it has had ALOT of rounds through it.
We will post pics in a few days.. |
