S'pose I should throw out an update:
Bought an Aimpoint P.R.O. for it.
Been at the range with the rifle three or four times now. Had some problems initially getting it to feed correctly (casings were being ejected, but the next round would frequently get jammed up against the feedramps pretty hard, especially when the mag was close to full). It took it in to Spike's, and they said they thought the bolt might be cycling faster than the mag. They replaced my bolt, my buffer, my buffer spring, and my two pmags just for good measure.
It's run perfectly ever since.
That's a good guess, but I'm curious to see what actually caused it. Properly cut M4 ramps should help alleviate the issue, but it can happen under certain conditions still. Do you still have the parts or did Spike's take it back? I don't suppose you measured the buffer spring length or weighed the buffer before sending it back...|||Quote:

Nope, they took it into the back to check it out and when they came back out they had replaced everything.
Pretty happy with their customer service. They didn't require me to fill out anything or ask me any questions about where I purchased the rifle. They just saw that it was one of theirs and made it right. Good stuff.|||Quote:

Did you send in the whole gun or just the upper or...? Anyway, glad to hear things were taken care of. There are very few AR companies with bad CS - and the ones I'm thinking of may not even be around anymore because of it. It's a pretty cutthroat world and has only been getting better for the consumer.|||This place needs Images!
OK if you talking gun porn FPS Russia!
God I love shotguns.|||damn that dragon's breath round was something.|||Quote:

Indeed. Sad that they are banned in Florida.
