To all the gun guys on here.... Is this a good buy?

Spikes offers much of the characteristics that are important in an AR-15. Spikes are Mil-spec’ed, peen shot bolt, HPT/MPI bolt and barrel, black extractor spring insert, properly staked gas key, chrome line barrel, 1:7 twist barrel, 5.56 barrel, M4 feed Ramps, taper pin front sight based and .154” diameter fire control group.
Palmetto State Armory had a good deal around Christmas for a rifle and optic but it's out of stock right now. It was a much better rifle that the Bushmaster, but there is nothing wrong with the Bushmaster if that is your price range. It all depends on what you want to do with it.
If you do buy the Bushmaster, pm me and I'll have you stop by and we can stake the carrier key, replace your extractor spring, stake the receiver extension castle nut, swap the buffer out for an H Buffer, and ream the chamber to make sure it shoots cheap ammo. After doing that you'll be able to shoot thousands of rounds through it and not worry about anything.

I think someone stole all your springs 
You're welcome 
So glad to hear someone else say this instead of arguing with me. I'd like to see the army go back to a 7.62 or use a 6.8, but they're too happy about their .22--I mean 5.56 M16 platforms...
Personally, my favorite gun that I've fired is, without any close competition, the H&K G36. I'd love it in a 6.8, but our government isn't likely to issue us foreign guns en masse. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on an FN F2000, either, but I don't have personal experience to vouch for that one.
Can't stop talking about me, I see. Well I have bad news for you gents: I made it home safe.
Y'all talk too much. Anyone know anything about Realistic TRC-418 CB radios?
yeah, i always wanted an ak variant. buddy at work was like, hey i got one for 300. i checked it out (alot of the Century Arms WASR 10/63's have mag wobble issues, canted front sight, etc) and everything is perfect on it. all i have done to it mechanically is shave a little off the back of the bolt carrier and the hammer so it cycles a lot smoother. i just couldnt see myself with a 5.56 rifle after what i had seen in afghaniland. 7.62 brings the pain. sure it cant fire as far (accurately), but for anything within 200m, it is a beast.

Thanks,I'll give him a call. I'm a bit discouraged today because calling around and speaking to various mechanics they are all saying the same thing. "That it will cost me much money in labor to pull apart and find problem" Called Adams Jeep there head guy said compression test will not work and I can pay him $104 to do a diagnosis, but I'd be wasting my money.Maybe I should just be focusing on finding an engine to drop in the baby and keep on moving. I'll make afew more calls to the local shops.

Oh, and my Gamertag is also NewKindOfClown, but I don't play MW3 cause I've already bought it the last four times they released that same game.

I can do a lot of different things...kind of a jack of all trades so to speak. And I know Jeeps WELL...so am willing to be someone personal mechanic for cheap.
I just want to make some honest, but off the books duckage to help fund a few improvements my Jeep needs to get it worthy.
If anyone has any needs, or ideas, let me know.
Thanks all.
