Who makes Spikes?

[zoid52]

Spikes suppossedly only markets their products. What companies actually make the uppers,lowers, BCG, barrels. I heard that JDMachine used to make some stuff but not anymore. Anyone know ?

I have a Spikes upper that came with a Sabre Defense barrel. I bought it in early 2009 I think. It was a step up from their cheaper uppers. I didn't see them offering Sabre Defense barrels for very long after that.

They make good products, I don't really care who is doing the manufacturing because no matter who the manufacturer is, they all use the lowest bidder who can deliver a product that is up go their standards.

They make their own stuff, maybe not entirely but read their about us page. Sure sounds like they do.

Aero Precision makes their lowers now. No idea on their uppers.

there are only a hand full of companies that actually making all their parts from scratch. my guess is that spikes buys most of the parts and assembles them into a compleat rifle and slaps there name on it. im sure they make some of their parts themselfs but i bet they get the recivers, barrels, LPK, and BCG from some one else.

I'm pretty sure they don't actually make anything. They assemble from really good parts.

Their parts have a lot in common with daniel defense parts.

As mentioned they are mostly a value added reseller. It is through volume and brand recognition that they can offer good products at reasonable pricing.

Spikes uses a few different manufacturers for their lowers, the prefix on the serial numbers will give insight on who it was. Not sure if it is ok to provide a link to another forum but they have the info there. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...f=282&t=166787
