The build looks good so far. I thought you were going to use a B.A.D selector?
Decided to wait....need to order my 20" upper. BAD lever is one of those luxury items that I can live without. Rather save up for BCG, Scope etc.

Most of what I have seen for review on Spikes products are very good. I build a mid length and am happy with it. Any specific gripes about them?
I agree with Desert Five-0... A lot of guys complain about the roll mark, but other than that, no issues.
Realized I never responded here... I have no experience with them, but since they are close, I though it would be cool to support a local builder. (Daniel Defense is also close as well). Just seems like most comments on Spikes seems to refer not so much about their products (which do garner good reviews) but more about their "state of mind" I guess - more of a mall ninja type company with their recent offerings, as well as some issue with the owners/staff and customer support issues. Could all be bunk - as I said I have no direct experience. Just seems to be the impression I get across the various AR/MR forums in general.
They have been known to make a few products that are more for a look than real purpose... but it sells. Some guys like the look of a suppressor but don't like the cost of the stamp.
Mall ninja aside...the only thing I'm running that is Spikes is the lower and buffer spring/tube. The fit and finish is flawless and mated up to my M&P 15T perfectly.
