Questions & Answers
Will this M4 receiver fit on and work with an AR-15 lower? I have a Spikes tactical spider complete lower What makes it an M4?

Yes it will fit, M4 is only the style, that being. 16in barrel, A2 front sight, carbine length gas system, and flat top receiver. A true M4 would be select fire, but other than having a milspec BCG, all that is done in the lower receiver. and all parts from an M4 minus a couple that require the lower to have an extra pin hole are cross compatible with AR-15s.

by Tim, Verified Owner, May 24, 2021
