Hey guys, I'm doing my AR build and the next step is the upper. Now, the two that I'm looking at are:
Stag Arms Model 2H found here:

Spikes Tactical M4 LE found here:
http://www.spikestactical.com/z/ind...ducts_id=384&zenid=1esod62fuphvr4rn1ibea7mk96
So the question is, which is better and why?
There is actually one aspect of the Spike's that confuses me. It is an LE designation, and Spike's told me that this is the model that they sell to Law Enforcement. They also said that it is made to the higher spec's of LE. BUT, they are machined from the exact same materials as their other products, so what is the real difference?
They are actually able to sell the LE version at a lower price because of their large orders from LE contracts (from their mouth). SOOO if that's the case, and it is supposedly manufactured at a higher standard, why produce any of the other types at all? Why not just produce the LE version and streamline things even more, making them even less expensive at retail?
Other benefits of buying the Stag are that it comes with a flip up rear sight for the same price while the Spike's doesn't. I also wouldn't have to pay tax on the Stag, but would on the Spike's because I live in Florida.
Now if someone can tell me why the Spike's LE is superior (or even inferior), then it's a no brainer.
Also, any other recommendations in that price range?
Thanks all!
