Not yet. Get one in black until the pink one becomes available. |

The guy I spoke with at AGP said he was totally amazed by the number of people requesting pink.
How much of a giant F*U* would it be to have CavAid 2008 Pink AR15's and advertise them in Family Circle or Redbook?

Should probably read: "Get one in black to help insure they don't go out of business in the meantime and pink is never again available."  It absolutely sickitates me the way ATF is handling this.* * as in, I acknowledge that they have to do their job (until Congress [hopefully] pulls the plug), but taking the entire inventory/livelihood of a business is beyond the fucking pale. |

Got two (2) lowers coming my way... Kevin Tenney of AGP told me via e-mail on Sunday that AGP didn't have any lower parts kits available. Yet I keep seeing people say that they're getting their lowers with LPK's. What gives? |

At this point, the trend I've noticed is that, while at first the AGP website count and our count in this thread were fairly close and consistent, the AGP website count is starting to pull away.
IMO, the reason the numbers are finally starting to diverge is likely because "the rest of the Internet" is starting to get ahold of this. Other arfcommers have posted things like "Sniper's Hide now knows about this" and "We need to get the word out to the competition shooting community," etc. So it's my opinion that the discrepancy is largely due to these non-arfcom related purchases. If that's the case, this thread could still be valuable if we wanted to see how much we've directly driven sales as opposed to other sites and communities (which we may have even driven indirectly). It's your call, guys. |

I don't know about ya'll, but the two I ordered are for my kids. I've got two girls though so having pink (and purple) available would be ideal. The boy will have to be happy with black. |

Order no. 1018. Bought it because I had one already and liked it. Didn't need it, really. But wanted to help out a good company.
I'll either make an ultralight out of it or go the AR45 route. John |

Hey Jake, keep the poll going. I know I've sent e-mails to all of my friends linking to AGP's site. I should have sent them the link to this thread.
Also, how many ARFCOMers aren't posting in this thread? BTT |

At least initially, I think a lot of (most?) arfcommers were posting in it, because we were only like 10-11 units off of AGP's website total. Not a huge discrepancy in the grand scheme of things.... The recent divergence *could* be related to arfcommers who are ordering but not posting here, but if I had to put money on anything, it'd be that what we're seeing now are orders not generated by (at least not directly) arfcom, the website. I personally think that arfcommers are generating most of this activity, even if only indirectly (the emails you've sent, posts on other web forums/communities, etc). In short, we effin' rock! Trying to not sound like a groupie here, but..... I love us.

Hmmm....has no one received any yet? I suppose if Monday was the first day he could ship any out then today, Wednesday, would still be too early for any to arrive anywhere. I figured I'd stop by my dealers shop Friday afternoon and check. But it would be nice to know if when it was shipped, if it has. Or will be if it hasn't. I don't need to be bothering either shop every day. |

As of Monday AGP hadn't received any of the lowers for shipping. Sounds like CavArms only started turning out the CavAid 2008 lowers on Friday. So it'll take a few days to fill the order for 1000 CavAid lowers.

I ordered mine on Friday the 29th, and regret not having seen this thread before now. I could only get one, but hope to get another, finances permitting. I was order #840. Since I already have two Bazooka Bros. .45 conversions, I'm thinking of either doing the lightweight rifle build on this one, or maybe a dedicated .22 LR, not sure. If they release any pink lowers, though, I will have to get one to build a lightweight Pink AR for my granddaughter.
Sometimes being Grandpa means just gritting one's teeth and getting out the plastic . . .  ETA: Oh yeah, tag.

Kevin said they should start shipping out "the day after" they are received. In hindsight, I'm sure that meant "the business day after". According to him, they should start receiving them (the first batch?) sometime this week. I'm normally a little impatient as well, but working with people from a production-operations management background, I can see how what Cav is trying to do isn't quite the same as a firm with a shitload of product already warehoused and in stock. |

Just ordered mine today.... I finished building my first AR about 2 weeks ago and was definitely not in the market for another...and I couldn't really afford it, but I felt I needed to help. My first build was a NM rifle, this one will be my hunting rifle with a 6.8 SPC build...plus since it's lighter, it'll be good for hauling around the woods. Plus I think it'll be nice in 10 years to have a CAV-AID 2008 marked lower which shows when I tried to help the 2nd. |

Bought one today. My Wife saw the receipt for a Bank Check to Ed Avila. That was a donation to the CavArms defense fund. She asked about the check, so I showed her some of the threads here and a couple of the online videos. She doesn't like the ATF any more than I do and she said to go ahead and raid the grocery budget to get a Cav-Aid 2008 lower. This lower will be mated with a A1 upper for a LW build. If I had the money I'd buy a lot more Screw the ATF. ZM |

I've not heard anything since the last update (Friday night) by Garryowen in the other thread.
With lawyers and the .gov generally not working weekends, I doubt there's been any progress since. There may be more info forthcoming with the advent of the new week. Let's hope. |

The more drawn out this becomes, the more angry I get that a government organization can destroy a business, with out providing any evidence of criminal activity. The longer they make them wait, the more likely they are to lose their company....

For a difference of...... 42 units. This would suggest that no more than 42 units have been sold via non-arf means. I know a lot of us (myself included sometimes, in spurts) tend to think arfcom is the only intarweb, but maybe we can branch out a little and spread the word a bit more in the coming days/weeks? |
