(And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you don't have one).  [;)]

Just wondering who's purchased the 'newest' addition to the 'AR family of rifles'.

Your comments about your CAV? [^]  Me thinks 'Garryowen' will approve......[:)]

Okay, I had to do some MAJOR digging to find this again.......(as you can see from the date it was originally posted).

There wasn't that many hits before, but maybe this time.......

Question still stands........

I've got a STRONG feeling I'll have a "working" one soon, to go with my CAV-15 "non-gun". [:D]

This one is a prototype shortened version, non functional.

Nice yellow.....

Gonna have to bring my CAV-15 (both, when the new AR15.com numbered lower gets here) to the local shooting area (in the back 40).  Might have to go on the 4th of July or something... make sure lots of people are there to see......

That's if it's not too dry here and another fire starts.....

There must be more......it's sunday night, everyone is asleep for monday work day..... maybe I should follow....

How does the weight of a CAV-15 compare with an AR-15 with the same upper and a comparable buttstock?

Does the plastic construction make it any lighter?

Mine will get here with my LEGP order.  My first CAV15 will be the olive drab model, but I can't wait to order one of the yellow lowers too.

I have 3 and really like them. I'm a little conservative & got 2 black & 1 OD green. Freaking awesome products.

The AR15.com ser # CAV will be number 2.  Waiting for the 'next generation' CAV...... hopefully something like that pic GarryOwen was teasing us w/ over on his forum.  (A CAV-15 receiver that takes a traditional buffer tube...... pistol tube in my dreams).....

TreeTop you sumbitch...
I was going to get a yellow, but I changed my mind.
I am getting a Gray one as soon as Shawn gets it ready...

Now i'm going to have to get a Yellow one to do that "PowerTool" thing....

LMAO!!!!

Treetop,
How did you cut the stock square? What determined the length you used? What did you fabricate your butt plate of? I might just try that on one of mine.

I have several. Some are from the original molds.  I am a dealer for Cav Arms

We had a several colors of the new ones on display at the Tulsa show.  Our yellow one was suspended above our display.  

The pink one was a hit!

Scratch,
A non gun means that the lower is not finished enough to actually accept the parts to make it work. It would require extensive work with expensive tools to finish it off. As such it's reall just a piece of plastic that looks like a rifle lower.

Contact GaryOwen on this board for details. He is the mfg of the lowers & can put on the track. He also has a forum over in the industry forums.

I've got an Olive Drab one, I'm awaiting development of OD M4 type HGs and then I'm going to refinish the whole rifle (16" Hbar with DTA Mil-brake, A2 upper) in Olive drab parkote as well.

Due to the "top feed" orientation of the selector detent and plunger, I was not able to make it a "milled and drilled" M16. I was forced to use one of my registered DIASs, which thusfar has handled 1200 rounds of russian w/o a problem.

I cut it on a table saw, with a 10" blade. This kept the cut parallel to the original butt, perpendicular to the top of the buttstock. I just cut where I felt it would be a tad [i]too[/i] short, so I could add material to it if necessary to get the right length. The buttplate is made of .25" ABS plastic, which is textured on one side.
