Default My first AR-15...

I finally pulled the trigger, I couldn't pass the opportunity to get a quality-made, top of the line AR.

Spike's Tactical rifle, custom built by a friend who's an armorer at Spike's, and my shooting buddy. Loaded with all sorts of goodies that I can't even explain to you because I'm new to AR-15s. But it has the best components in it, my friend has access to everything at dealer cost and he knows his stuff.

Free floating barrel, entended bolt release, a red dot, and some sort of custom trigger.

Looks nice. Should be a tack driver. Post a range report.

That extended bolt release is a BAD (Battery Assisted Device) Lever, allowing to release the bolt with my trigger finger. Awesome.

I want to add an extended charging handle and an end plate swivel quick detach.

Thank you guys.

From what my friend tells me, Spike's Tactical also makes some of the lightest ARs in the market. It's not a featherweight for sure but I'll trust him on that.

The rifle handles well, points great, and dry firing it shows a trigger that's crisp and short, very nice trigger feel.

Range report soon!
