Just saw on spikes website they are pre ordering a new billet lower that is an tribute to the graphics on the A10 warthog.

 

Pretty cool but not sure I would want one. Here is info from the spikes website

 

"The Hellbreaker Lower is a billet series lower featuring a mean sharks mouth magwell inspired by the markings on the famous P-40 Warhawk WW2 fighter plane. The selector markings are bullet pictograms. This lower has additional features not found on standard forged lowers. These features include: Front Grip Serrations (Sharks Teeth), Enhanced Magwell Flaring, Integrated Trigger

Ideally the teeth are sharp enough to jab and poke anyone that purchases that silliness...

Some also might find the teeth scary looking. I can see it being banned in NJ for that reason.

Uh, No thanks. 

 

I heard a "Pitbull" version is coming soon as well.  It will have a special castle nut with little spikes come out around it and a stock that looks like the body of a dog.

 

I thought their Zombie lower was gimmicky enough. However, people WILL STILL buy this. Whatever, it's their money.

Why is the optic mount in that picture angled forward?

More room for back up sights and proper sight alignment

Sight alignment you mean like the height? That doesn't make sense. A 2 inch slanted riser at 45 degrees is just the same as as 1.5 inch riser. Why not just buy a shorter riser? The space for iron sights thing I get

Cantilevered optic mounts were first designed to let you get the optic further forward, creating proper eye relief and enough room for certain enhancements that go behind the optic, like an older PVS-14 or magnifier.

 

Also, as awesome as the P40 Warhawk and Flying Tigers nose art is, this version is lame, especially on a rifle....

 

I did however see it on a FDE Toyota FJ Cruiser and once on an OD HMMWV (A real one, not a Hummer) and it looked pretty badass.

That is cool looking, but would I buy that? Nope! Unless it was $150 or lower
