Yes, it's possible. I highly recommend Adco for the work. www.adcofirearms.com

The answer to your question is : yes, different brands do have different tolerance limits. Upper and lower fits are one example of this tolerance limits. RRA is known to have tighter tolerances in this area, than say, Colt. I doubt, however, there is much tolerance difference in many other areas of the lower, as the AR platform is designed to be modular.

For all practical purposes, a lower is a lower is a lower. The raw forgings only come from a few sources, and the real difference is the final machining. As long as they are machined within specifications, they are all pretty much the same (meaning forged-vs-forged. Billet is a whole different animal). I think it's safe to say that if your Spikes lower is machined in spec, you are good to go.

I like BCM BCG's. They make nice barrels too...

I have a bunch from BCM if you want them.

I have that comp on all 4 of my AR's. It is no louder than an A2 flash suppressor, although I guess that is somewhat subjective.

I send all of my AR-15 barrel work to Adco. They do high quality work, and quick turn around. The last barrel I sent to be threaded/pin/weld received in the shop on Tuesday, return shipped Wednesday, and I had it by Friday. Can't beat that.

Good know....Thanks!

I think it would fall under the 'substantially identical' clause.

Working on an AR-15 isn't rocket science by any means. It just requires a couple of specialty tools, that aren't very expensive. If you have ever changed your own oil, you can work on an AR-15 with total confidence. I would recommend a lower and upper receiver vice block, and an AR wrench as a minimum. You can pick up all of them for well under $100 if you shop around. Every AR owner should have these. There are PLENTY of YouTube videos explaining in detail hit to swap stocks, receiver extensions, everything AR. The knowledge is out there and available. Of course, there is a wealth of information available through members of this site. We are al happy to lend advice, or a hand. Best regards, Jeff

Oh crap, I PM'd you on the 'other' AR site about this. You do have a fixed stock that will need to be changed out. Read this...may help. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/49840-pined-stock-question/

That's normal.

Rob@ Hometown Firearms is a neighbor of mine and I've done a few deals with him in the past couple of weeks. VERY pleased to work with him and look forward to future transactions. Nice to have an FFL in the neighborhood!

Dude I just snorted coffee out my nose reading that!! LMAO!! Sad thing is that your probably right.....

I also keep a copy of this in my rifle cases. Good dope.

My local FFL posts inventory on Facebook. I am not a Facebooker, so haven't seen it myself, but you can search for Hometown Firearms LLC.

I applied for permits in my township on 4/30/13, and they were in hand 6/20/13, so about 6-7 weeks.

Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate the advice! I like the ergos, I like the feel of this pistol in my hand, even more so than my Glock 22 (did I really say that??!!). First order of business would be night sights. Any recommendations? I like Trijicons for my Glock, but am not married to them.

Just picked it up. German goodness! Range report to follow soon.

H.E. hit the nail on the head. Everyone needs a new upper to morph into a new rifle! In terms of accuracy advantages, the free floated barrel has a slight advantage off the bench. In practical terms, it's not overly significant.

Sure....NOW they go on sale! Right after I bought a USP Compact..... My luck strikes again!
