    Spikes blems

    Is their a way to tell if a Spikes part came from the factory as a blem? Im specifically interested in a upper but want to be aware of what I am buying.

    Blems are cosmetic. Might have a scratch or the like on it, instead of being "perfect" out of the box.

      I think the OP wants to know if they stamp blems in any way for quality control....I'm not aware of any.... Buyer beware...

          Blems are going to be a maybe a scratch or other problem in the finish but are fully functional. The next level below this would be defective and I would be surprised if Spike's would release these for sale due to liability reasons.

            I don't think there's any way to tell as far as stamps or markings. A blemished part is not defective in any way . Other than the cosmetic.

            So take a good look and then buy it.

              Correct,
              I wanted to know if they stamped the parts or the like.
              It would seem sh1tty if someone got ahold of some blems and decided to just sell them off marked up to the unsuspecting buyer.
