Hi Guys,

 

I just bought a spikes tactical upper for my first AR build. It has the A2 Flash suppressor on it which is not NJ legal. What is the best way to handle this? I was going to have it shipped to me and get the Spike's Tactical Dynacomp put on and have that pinned and welded to it here to make it legal. I did not puchase it through spike so I can't have them do it.

 

Is this the best way to do this? Is this legal? From my understanding as long as I dont put it together on my AR I can legally have this in my possesion till I change the muzzel or am I wrong? I also have to make sure the bayonet lug is not on it.

 

Also If anyone can recommend a good place in NJ to do this work for me I would much apreciate it. I live in the Morris County Area.

I shipped my upper to Paul at Arms and Ammo. For $40 plus shipping he pinned the brake I supplied and shaved the bayo lug. I think it's $30 if you just need the brake pinned. I'd give him a call. It was less than a week for me to ship it to him, have him do the work, and get it shipped back.

Thats great!!! Exacly what I wanted to hear. My only question then is did you ship it from your house in NJ or Did you have yours shipped direct to him from the person you bought it from? I just dont want to get introuble for having it in my possesion.

 

Also quick side note what brake are most people using? Does any one have Spikes Dynacomp? What do you think of it?

I have a Dynacomp on my 14.5" mid, I like it, it keeps the muzzle jump to a minimum and the muzzle blast from it isnt as harsh as other brakes. But dont expect and kind of flash suppresion with it, like you would get with a battle comp or fsc556.

I shipped it from my house but you can prob save a few bucks on shipping if you had it shipped from where you purchased it. I had my upper before I had anything else so I wasn't too concerned about constructive possession. Paul is great to deal with.

 

I use a YHM Phantom brake. It was cheap, I think i paid $27 for it. The 5.56 has very little recoil as it is so the brake to me was more about legality . I like the Phantom...it's loud if you're on the side but not bad when you're behind the gun.

Bring it by the shop..we can handle it for you.....

 

You're right in Budd Lake and Mastodon is in Highland Lakes. Both are lakes.

 

So that being said Mastodon is close by to you and does nice work.

 

Now if the stars are in order you'll miss Nick and run into me.

Thanks I will have come visit you once it comes in. As I just found out from the company I ordered my upper from that they kind off lied and it is on back order just like everyone else

It really annoys me when peoples websites say it in stock but when I call to verify they really have it they all seem to have a glitch that doesn't show its on back order!!!

 

Well at least I have all my lower parts so I start taking my Build a BeAR Class in April. They said my upper should be in the middle of May so that could work out.

No worries......many place are back ordered......Spikes is about 6 weeks out......... We will be here when you are ready...

 

Well I seemed to have lucked out and only had to wait a week I just got the tracking number and it should be arriving Wednesday. So I will drop by your shop either Thursday or Friday to drop it off. Do you by chance have Spike's Dynacomp max by chance? I would love to buy it through you since you would be doing the work. Otherwise I will have to order one online to bring in. Also I would be interested in Magpul's Gen 2 MBUS rear back up site as well.

I look forward to checking you guys out. But it seems I was the butt of a cruel joke. After receiving an email yesterday saying my upper was shipped with a tracking number. They emailed me this morning saying it was a computer glitch and my upper is still on back order. I'm very unhappy with the company I ordered it from. This is their second major computer glitch. I'm starting to think I should order from someone else now, but I don't want to lose my place in line.
