The Mid-Length system provide less recoil impulse, seem to be less finicky/more reliable and longer running between cleanings, and the longer forend provides more room to shoot from barricades and position the support hand further out for a higher degree of control. This is a superior quality basic rifle that is light because it doesn’t have all the extras tacked on, but if you feel the need to add ounces with a space age stock and enough picatinny rails to hang an expresso machine off the forend, you may want to take advantage of Spikes ability to customize a rifle exactly how you want it.Īfter several Mid-Length ARs I am sold on the Mid-Length gas system format. The standard list of features and details on a very high quality M4 rifle are there from M4 feedramps milled before anodizing, to a F-marked front sight, "H" tungsten buffer, 6-position stock, 1:7 twist rifling, M16 bolt, to chrome lined heavy barrel, and more, but it’s the nice extra touches like full labeling of the barrel specs “ST MIL-B-11595E CMV 1/7 CL HP MP” which are laser etched into the top of the barrel under the forend and bullet pictograms on the receiver for the selector switch which show you how much care and attention to detail goes into each rifle. Spikes Tactical ST15 Mid-Length Rifle Detailed Specs (click the tabs for upper/lower specifications)įEATURES- The rifle does have a few extras beyond what most people would consider a standard AR15/M4 carbine with upgrades assuring the base gun is as high of quality as possible. As a result of this extensive list of specifications I will direct your the the website versus publishing all the specs as four pages of single spaced specs is simply ridiculous to include in an article. This is what sold me on a Spikes Tactical STI rifle. By publishing these specifications in detail, Spikes is letting everyone know they are no corners cut on any part regardless of how insignificant it may seem. Who tells you that their ejection port door is “Mil-Spec Ejection Port Door Assembly with 5.3.1.2 MIL-STD-171 Phosphate Finish” and that the hand guard cap is “Triangle Hand Guard Cap with 5.3.1.2 MIL-STD-171 Phosphate Coating”? You are lucky if most manufacturers provide the basic length, weight, and barrel twist on a regular basis. Spikes does something no other manufacturers does, it lists every single specification on the website of every part on the rifle. Spikes is a AR gun produced by craftsman with details even in the base models you just will not find in most rifles. There is however a distinct difference between simply buying and bolting together a bunch of parts and pride in craftsmanship. Sure most AR parts are made by only a few part manufacturers and then assembled by other AR assembling manufacturers such as Spikes. ![]() The goal achieved for this purchase was simply to have a no-nonsense stone cold reliable standard AR which could take a beating and punch 1"-2" groups at 100 yards reliably all for well under $900.īefore I start running down my standard review points, I should note that Spikes Tactical is a different type of AR manufacturer. ![]() Most would label my purchase a standard police patrol rifle which is atypical spec of most police department budgeted rifles.or at least is similar to what i have seen in my experience with a few agencies. ![]() SPIKES TACTICAL MID-LENGTH ST15 AR15/M4 RIFLEĬurrently Spikes offers several basic packages and I choose their basic entry level mid-length rifle with 16" barrel configuration chambered in 5.56 which will also shoot.
