Drove up to NWcustomparts to collect my Spikes yesterday.

It's completely standard as I already have a load of parts to go on/in it (although I'll be getting more parts obviously tongueout )

Having a bit of an issue fitting a Knights Armament rail to it at the moment though. Can't seem to slot it in right.

No pics yet though.

Their website is currently down, how much is something like this? I'm pondering an M&P 15-22 or SIG 522 but this could be on the cards too. Since it's a "real" AR it'd be fun to upgrade over time.

£950 for the standard model (as in the pic)

That's not bad when you consider that a 15-22 performance edition is £850. I suspect if I want a free float hand guard and the billet upper and lower that'll get closer to £1500 though. I'd intend to get a .223 upper too though which should make it cost effective.

Congrats! Have you shot it yet? What are you planning to change on it?

Wayne sent me mine a few weeks ago and it shoots really nicely. I haven't really tried any other rounds yet, as the copper wash CCI tactical work so well, there's no need. I wasn't going to post a pic of mine until the scope arrived, but seeing as you have one too I'm sure you interested. Sorry for the poor quality pic.
