Is the Cavalry Arms M96 rifle a good selection?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is the Cavalry Arms M96 rifle a good selection?

Posted: 9/23/2001 1:25:40 PM EDT

As you may have noticed, I wrote in a earlier post that I'm cosidering buying a FAL (DSA if I get the chance).

Read about the M96, and seems to be a nice weapon.

Comments anyone?

Thanks!

Keep in mind the Robinson Armament M96 is a [b].223[/b] rifle, and the FAL is a [b].308[/b].

The M96 is very well balanced for me, and it seems extremely reliable. It uses standard AR magazines, and the configuration is flexible, with even a belt-fed version supposedly coming out shortly.[8D] The gas system is adjustable, which is also a plus.
I like the M96, and I hope to eventually get one for myself.

Maximus,

I'm currently selling my DSA 58 carbine. Less than 25 rounds through it. If interested, email me.

Steve

PS: Go with the .308 [;)]

I really like mine. Its a nice addition to a family of AR's. Additionally, the mag compatability is great...One less mag type to deal with.--Now you'll just have to buy more AR mags!!!

The FAL is great too. I would recommend both, but I just depends on which you would really want.

PS--I did a review on the M96, search my name and it will likely give you a couple of long threads with many peoples comments.

Get a G3, HK91, or CETME instead.

Go with a Bushmaster or Rock River if you need a AR15. Stay away from Calvery Arms.

I've heard nothing but good information concerning Calvary Arms.

If one person alone comes online bitching about cav-arms... then we've got a troll on our hands.

If you've got a beef with them.... state it. Let us hear. Otherwise, you will always be nothing but a troll to me and those like me.

Side note:... the M96 is believed to be one of the "best" most reliable .223 vs accurate type firearms available by many.

The Cav arms one piece lower is unique and different... yet is considered superior to many as well.

Tell us your problems with it (and/or cav arms) so we can determine for ourselves... or we consider you a troll.

[b] I also would like to hear "WHY".[/b]

Unless you come up with some serious specifics
you will certainly be labled at a TROLL.

Which I am thinking is the case or you would have stated some facts along with your unfounded charges.

I have yet to meet anyone who worked harder for my $$ than [b]Cavalry Arms[/b].

You can't even spell their name right. WTF.

Well Mouser Man?? We are waiting.

Put Up or Shut up.

Max, I think you will find that They DO have a good reputation and quite a following around here.
And that is a fact!!!

cav arms = good people and good service.

The M96 is about the coolest rifle I own. I am going to up-grade to the carbine barrel/gas system and the Full Auto trigger pack (Got to love that SOT tax-stamp!). I am really looking forward to the belt-fed conversion that they will have out shortly.

Mauser88 posted some comments on a thread and I e-mailed him to let him know it might get him in trouble with the Mods...It was meant as a friendly note, but he took it wrong. Now I am getting nasty e-mails from a fellow ([email protected]) and I am pretty sure it is related. It would appear that I am an "Arab Lover" and a "Race Traitor". I would like to find this Himmler fellow and give him a boot party, but as you all know, it’s easy to be a bitch and hide behind a computer.
