I’ve quit counting the number of OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that currently put their mark on an AR-style rifle. It’s virtually impossible to remember all of the different ways these same manufacturers rename what soldiers simply call an “M4.” So what’s the difference? it’s all in the details.

Working on CNC machines, lathes and mills, most of the SL15 parts are designed and manufactured in-house by Spike’s team of armorers. “Why are we better?” CEO Tom Miller rhetorically asks. “Because we take the next step with all our rifles. We do a lot of little touches. Almost everything we do is custom. Even small enhancements are carried on our basic product line, whether it’s a $1,000 or a $3,000 carbine.

    Being a United States Marine, I deal with lots of weapons and read lots of gun magazines. M4s just seem to blur together and look the same with nothing special about them. I read this article and was blown away by each and every part of this weapon. Someone please tell me where i can buy one of these.
