![]() You will win every time just by living life to the fullest. Will you take that leap of faith? Will you bet your last on an opportunity that is worth having? A poker chip tattoo is a reminder that sometimes it’s worth it to go “all in” when you’ve got your eye on the prize. Of course, this is one of the hardest things to do in life, especially when “the chips are down.” They are also a way for our subconscious to tell us that it’s time to take more chances. Many times, when poker chips pop up in our dreams they are symbolic of the uncertainties of life. They remind us of what we are living for and the chances that are well worth taking. A lucky number, a sign, even an animal totem design in the center all pop up in these classy images. Most have hidden meanings and codes that only they understand. It represents another chance to win, or something precious that you’ve won already–a sign of victory in the past and more victory to come.ĭesigns for poker chip tattoos are as varied as the people who wear them. It represents a love of life because that chip is more than just currency for the game. A poker chip tattoo represents more than just a love of gambling. The fit and finish might be cleaner on one or the other, but by and large, a lower is a lower is a lower.Even if the deck is stacked against you, as long as you have one more chip to anti up, you’re not out of the game. Functionally, I couldn't tell you if I honestly thought I could tell the difference in performance between any lower, it's really just a chassis, and they're all the same. The Spike's will be fine for resale value. Spikes might flash a "mall-ninja" warning to me, but to a true mall-ninja, it might scream "high quality mil-spec must-have!" Names don't mean jack, but the perceived importance of names means everything. Thinking of motorcycles, think if you could put harley badging on a honda kit bike and call it a true-blue Harley? Or what if you could buy all of the same HARLEY PARTS for half of the price because they were labeled "Vulkan" to build the same bike? That's where we're at in the AR world. You can throw very cheap parts into a Bushy receiver set, put in a nice trigger, slap on a match barrel, and have a rifle that will hold value like superglue. Build a precision build on del-ton receivers, all you have is a low-rep del-ton rifle. Build a ground up custom from junk parts on Bushmaster receivers, then you have a bushmaster rifle. DPMS, Bushmaster, Remington, which receiver do you think is better than the other? None, they're all made by the same company.īUT, in the AR game, the name on the receiver of a franken-rifle is the "name" on the rifle. Every hunting company makes one, but they ALL (every single one of them in the US) use J.C. I look at it very similar to Closed Reed predator calls. Unfortunately in the AR game, the "paying for name" thing goes even further than most people realize.Īs has been mentioned, there are MANY MANY MANY brands of AR receivers, but actually VERY VERY FEW different manufacturers. I don't think it'll be the best for resale value, but it definitely won't be the worst. Some guys will build nice rifles around a spike's, some guys will build a rifle that just looks really cool around one. A lot of guys use them for frankenbuild mil-spec mall-ninja rifles, so as a rifle, you'll need to focus your build to avoid that aire of inexperience (don't involve "MOE" anywhere except the trigger guard), and you'd have to market it to highlight the RELEVANT components, rather than focusing on the brand name and model number of your rail covers. Spikes is one of those mid-ground lowers, in my subjective opinion. I put more value on a Bushmaster lower (and spend about 50% more to buy) than I would a DPMS lower, even though I KNOW it's made by the same place, because I know I'll get better resale value out of the Bushy than a DPMS would. Some names are a dead giveaway that it was a low-budget franken-build, some names suggest a guy was just trying to build a mall-ninja "mil-spec" super tacticool rifle, some suggest the rifle was built for high volume competition precision shooting, but by and large, it's mostly suggestive. ![]() What a name means to any given consumer is purely subjective. The lower receiver design was engineered to shave the weight and increase strength exactly where we wanted it. I guess I should have pointed out the subjective value of a stripped lower, maybe that would make a fair review?īy and large, the only difference, and ony difference in resultant value, in MOST stripped lowers is the name stamped on the side.
