Well, I took the plunge at the Orlando gun show, and picked up a base ST-15. I have been reading nothing but good things about spikes, and since I'm a AR NooB, I decided to start with small, and then work up from there. They were great about making sure I had what I wanted. He even switched the Lowers for me since I didn't want engraving, but the one had a grip on it. Spike told me "don't worry about it, you can have it." But then....
I get to buy it, he runs my card, and the instant background check, and I get DECLINED????????:twisted::twisted: WTF?? He's holding it for me, and going to call them back tomorrow when they arnt getting 8 million calls from the gun show, and see if he can figure out what's going on. I just renewed my CCW in june, so I know I have no problems with my background...hell, I've never done anything to remotely disqualify me from getting it. Hell, I've bought 2 XDs this year, and had 0 problems.
need less to say, I'm a bit frustrated right now, cause I was excited to get my new toy, and wanted to get on here and post many pictures for all my friends here. All I know for sure is THIS SUCKS!:twisted:
I'll keep you up to date with any changes. It will probably be something stupid like someone with my name is a wanted criminal. I know I had that problem at the airport once, and someone with a similar name was on a no fly list. Could be the same thing.
Thanks for letting me vent a little. I needed it.
