pjd832 146 Posted March 1, 2012 Does anyone know of a nj shop that stocks bcm or spikes stuff?... Either complete ar's or at least lowers?.... Of the couple shops by me one has nothing long other than shotguns, bolt action rifles and pistols and told me that ar's are "illegal"... Lol ok.... And the other is tough to deal with and isn't interested in ordering anything other than the base line of dpms,bushmaster, and stag..... Which has lead me to the decision to build what I want... Only thing is both of the shops I mentioned aren't willing to do the ffl transfer for a whole ar or even the lower.... So any contact info for shops that may have at least a bcm or spikes lower.. Would be greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubberBullets 65 Posted March 1, 2012 Im interested as well. Im looking for a spikes (preferably calico) lower to start to piecemeal an AR together. No sense in paying for FFL is someone has stock somewhere. Although from what krdshrk was saying inventory is hard to find in spikes as of recent. Not so much interested in the NJGF lower because im really drawn to the calico lower. yarrr harr!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjd832 146 Posted March 1, 2012 Haha I hear ya... Of the 2 shops in 30 miles of me one says no..... The other told me $100 for the transfer + the nics on top of that....."or you could just buy this dpms.. And go shoot"... Which was a base plastic foregrip etc ... For $975... No thanks lol.. Called the some other shops in the 45-65 mile range.....and pretty much the same result... Has to be a shop in jersey that's not like this?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vlad G 345 Posted March 1, 2012 There are a number of people who will do reasonable transfers for you. Check out the Vendors forum? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted March 1, 2012 I know my lower out the door was under $150. It's the regular lower though, nothing fancy. No paint, no special engraving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had just gotten my first 22 and of course I liked the look of the ar's and they tried selling me one after telling them I'm new to shooting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted March 1, 2012 BCM doesn't even stock BCM. lol! You can find spike lowers in a few spots.. That's really about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YWHIC 18 Posted March 1, 2012 Talked to Spikes CS today.. trying to get stuff directly from them is a project.. Quoted 3 weeks before they get there basic upper receivers back in hand.. which means suppliers(and I) are beat. Everyone is running out of stuff..

Zerosignal 1 Posted March 9, 2012 No gun shop in NJ will carry BCM because most gun shops buy from the same buying groups that stock your basic everday crap.. Bushy, DPMS,OLY. You would have to put fourth to much $$$$ for a stocking order to handle a line like BCM and knowledge, which not to many NJ shop have. They all think a BCM is on line with Bushmaster no differences except the name.. G&R Tactical would be your best best for anything BCM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YWHIC 18 Posted March 9, 2012 I managed to get a few leads and filled in the BCG blanks on the site with RG, LMT, Youngs, DD.. granted they are all over $130 at this point.. Spikes BCG was the best BANG for the $110-118... Things are getting tighter.. 3 different places I talked to (including 2 mfg.) say 2-3 month lead times.. ughh..

Shocker 151 Posted March 9, 2012 Lou's in Raritan has Spikes lowers in stock and various lowers they have Calico and so on are on order... I've tried them a few times and the guys are really nice and all but they never ever have anything in stock. Seems Spikes has extremely long lead times across the board.

Adam 6 Posted March 10, 2012 I've tried them a few times and the guys are really nice and all but they never ever have anything in stock. Seems Spikes has extremely long lead times across the board.

checko 180 Posted March 10, 2012 Just bought the last new spike lower from lou's. They have one display left and they said they are waiting for a shipment but that probably wont be for a while Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YWHIC 18 Posted March 10, 2012 just ordered 2 Spikes Middy barrels and 2 Spike Carbine barrels for the shop to have on-hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted March 14, 2012 Just bought the last new spike lower from lou's. They have one display left and they said they are waiting for a shipment but that probably wont be for a while Chris will sell the remaining Spikes lower. Spoke to him yesterday.. As stated, he's waiting for a shipment. But, seems everyone is. There is a HUGE AR build boom going on with all the SHTF nutcases running around. Everyone feels it's a go-to rifle I guess..
