You can order complete rifles or you can mix-n-match your parts. I think you can get a fully pimped out rifle (gas impingement) with a billet lower for that price and have a much nicer rifle than a Bushy. Spikes Tactical makes great stuff and has the best customer service in the industry. Tom the CEO will answer any of your questions if you call. I wouldn't even consider buying any other brand than Spikes.

You can see the new billet lowers and the newest billet upper here. I believe these will be available for order within the next 3-4 weeks.

Cannot wait to shoot it, and to find a good IWB or OWB holster!:image035:

I have been wanting a carbine for awhile now but unfortunately just couldn’t fit a AR into the budget. I love them but it is just to pricey of a purchase for me to justify. However doing a bit of research I have heard a lot of good things about the Kel Tec SU-16. One of the things I like about it is that you can buy a adapter to put a AR style collapsible stock on it. There are also a few other accessories that allow you to turn it into a nice little carbine. The reviews have been good as well. My real question here isn’t so much about the SU-16 but about rifle barrel lengths because I am not much of a rifle guy. There are a couple of different models of the SU-16. The two that I am primarily looking at are the SU-16C and the SU-16D (Which come in two modles, the D12 and D9). The D9 has a 9 inch barrel, the D12 has a 12 inch barrel and the SU-16 has a 16 Inch Barrel. I am leaning towards the D9 or D12 because I think I would prefer the shorter barrel. It seems like this would make it a bit better in terms of maneuverability in tight spaces like my house or any other indoor environment. So my question is basically this. How much accuracy am I giving up? I’m not looking for a long range tack driver but I don’t want to give up too much in the accuracy department. This weapon will not have a scope mounted to it. I will use something more along the lines of a red dot style optic. So…. I have been wanting a carbine for awhile now but unfortunately just couldn’t fit a AR into the budget.

I picked up a beautiful used/older Wingmaster which came with an additional barrel and scope. The scope is a Weaver K15-1 (engraved), with Weaver mount - no other markings that I could find.

Can someone tell me something about this scope and how much it's worth? The scope is in excellent shape. I tried google without luck.

Luckily it happened at a guys house that has 40 yrs experience working with firearms. He showed me a quick way to get the broken shell out of the chamber. He used a .22 cal brush and ran it down the muzzle past the shell, then pulled it a little ways back into the chamber/bore. Just enough to get the bristles pointing back towards the breech. He then popped the shell right out by pushing the rod back into the breech. I was a little skeptical when he told me how to get it out but it worked lickity split. Sorry if this is common knowledge but I thought I would pass it on for anyone who did not know already and was looking for a solution before they damaged their firearm trying to get the broken case out.
