alrighty, i guess ill jump on it then. I'm just really weary of cav arms warranty services right now, because they sold the CAV-15 platform to another company - they wont declare who it is that is now providing warranty services, and didnt say when they will announce who is providing the service.

I have a couple, love them. Excellent length of pull, great grip angle, fantastic cheek weld. On one of them I had to sand the inside of the mag-well to get magazines (even USGI) to drop free. Nothing major and fixed in 5 min.

They are great! That is an excellent deal for a complete Lower. I would leave it Dark Earth though (actually Cav Arms "Coyote Brown" is a better match to everyone else's Dark Earth).

You can't beat that for the price. I use my CavArms lower for a dedicated 22lr build and have a couple thousand rounds through the combo so far with no issues.
I have also shot a hundred or so 5.56 through it using my BCM upper again with no issues. However when you buy, check the pin holes and take down pins for oversized holes, especially if its used. The holes are supposed to be a little tight at first but I've heard of people filing them to enlarge them which can lead to pins walking and basically is bad for the lower. |

I have 2 of them and use them alot. I also used one with my .22 upper for awhile. I am thinking of buying a couple more and they are going for under $100 now. That is for stripped ones though.

I recently picked up two of them from DSG during their $89 sale and free shipping. I like them so far, though I've only put about 100+/- rounds through one of them. I did have to open up the magwell a bit on both but that only took about 15min for both of them. The grip is surprisingly nice. I ordered the Hogue handall but it made the grip too bulky for me. I just need to find a sling since DSG is out of them.
$125 is a great deal if it's in good condition considering they go for $100-125 currently. I paid: $89 stripped lower + $50 DD LPK (after selling the MOE guard and pins) + $12 buffer and spring = $151. Cav Arms builds on left

I like mine, the buffer retaining pin can give you fits if you are not really patient and maybe use a really tiny drill bit to widen one hole, the LPK's you get have slightly shorter pins than the full width of the lower so they are slightly recessed. I owuld recomend the purchase of the hoage over grip too if you go DSG(got all 3 of mine from them) the grip is not ergonomic without it)

well, i have in my possession one new CAV-15. There isnt even any wear on the parts. Looks like the guy bought it and never mounted it.
Right off the bat, I notice the plastic is not joined completely below the trigger. Its not really a function issue, but it is not a perfect weld. The pins also fit REALLY tight into my AR upper. I had to lightly tap with a rubber mallet to get them in. one of the problems I'm now faced with is that my 20" upper does not balance correctly, so I am either going to have to counter weight the lower in the stock, or ditch the 20" upper and go for something short and light. (this is probably a good problem to have.) |

Sean let me shoot one of his full auto 9mm dealer samples about 10 years ago. It was an A2 length buttstock and I think the A2 is just too long for practicality. I prefer the A1 myself or a tad shorter.
I'll probably get one in coyote just for kicks. I hope everything works out for Sean and the crew at Cav Arms. As we have just witnessed, ATF is coming after the average gun owner and will set you up for a fall even if you've never broken any laws. Be careful and CYA (cover your ass). Agencies always need an enemy to keep their funding.

well, i had the soldering iron plugged in ready to go and then thought to myself how much work it'd actually be to stipple the entire grip. lol.
so instead i cut up a few pieces of adhesive non-slip tape I had from Harbor freight for my jeep. They did what I wanted it to, and it works even better with gloves! I'm having some difficulty finding a Magpul MOE in rifle length. Do they not make it? I've seen a couple of places with the item listed, but they all say "coming soon". Cav arms has a dark earth rifle length that I might grab for $30. Wish I could swap them my black hand guard =/ http://www.ifshtf.com/pic/guns/ar3.jpg oh, and I have to say - I really like the cut of the stock grip. it fits my hand very well. |
