Looks very nice. Do you have an idea of what the weight is? I was considering on building a AR10, was the spikes upper and lower 100% dpms compatible.
Really like the color btw.

The empty weight was just under 10 lbs before mounting optics. I went with the rifle length gas system, which added to the barrel weight, and is 3+ lbs. Overall, it is still very manageable, and feels good when handling. In hindsight, I would probably go with a mid-length gas system and more aggressive fluting if I was building a combat rifle. Since I intend to mostly use this for bench rest shooting, a little extra weight is a good thing.
The Spike's lower is partly DPMS compatible, however, the bolt catch, mag release and pivot/takedown pins are not. The pivot and takedown pins are included with the lower receiver. The bolt catch is Armalite AR-10. The PSA PA-10 bolt catch appears to be identical to the Spike's bolt catch. Spike's (& Primary Arms) sell a complete LPK, however if you have extra lower parts laying around, the only needed parts that are not AR-15 compatible are the bolt catch and the mag release.

That looks great. The range report will be interesting. Congratulations.
