That image is NOT the 12.5" Spikes barrel... looks more like the 14.5" or 16" barrel that Tom was experimenting with last year. Mike has never put this up for sale on his website and has always referred to this as a special project item.
Here is what their 12.5" looks like...
They were also VERY expensive.
Here is the info that Tom Miller (CEO Spike's Tactical) posted on ARfcom back in November 2010...
Here are the final specs, pricing, and ETA's on the ACR barrels.
Specs,
Barrels are LW-50 Stainless steel, 1:8 twist, Polygon rifled, Nickel Boron coated M4 barrel extension, ACR Mid-length gas system, Correct ACR diameter gas port, Correct ACR profile under the handguard, Barrels are Fluted in front of the gas block with a bead blasted finish. They are available in 12.5", 14.5", 16", and 18" lengths.
ST-LW ACR barrels are $485.00 (barrels are stripped). Turn around time is 1-2 weeks.
We will offer a service to transfer over customer supplied piston components, cost is $150. Turn around time is 2-3 weeks.
That would have put the pricing here in Canada too high so we opted to make our own barrels instead.
