"Are They any good, durable, etc."

Let me say this, I started AR's w/ a CAV-15.  I have one 'conventional' AR (2001 LEGP).

I love my CAV's (all of them).  I like the weight of them, the feel of the grip and the longer stock.  Durable, Garryowen said he sent his lower to Alaska to be tested by a guy there, and he reported no problems.  I know a former Air Force Colonel who saw the CAV-15 and he personally thinks that they are a great step forward.  There is nothing to corrode.

Let me put it this way.  Glock uses a 'plastic' lower w/ a steel insert.  The CAV-15 is all plastic.  The recoil of the gun is absorbed by the stock/buffer.  It's a push backward while a Glock well, it's up and back, if I'm describing it right.

Also, HK is making the USC 45 w/ 'plastic' parts.  And they also have a .223 that's 'plastic'.  How many plastic 'guns' are out there???

Now, how about a man and company that stands behind their product?  Cavalry Arms and Garryowen guarantee it for life (to the original owner, w/ proof of purchase).  The example I recall he used is, if you break it, he'll replace it (even if you ran over it).  If you got it used, it's only 20-25 to replace it.

My first was a generation 1 and it was 'warranteed' and now is a generation 4 (if I recall).

This is what I said, "When people say plastic/polymer pistol, people think Glock.  When people say plastic/polymer AR, they'll say Cavalry Arms."

"What Glock did for the pistol industry, Cavalry Arms is doing for the AR's."

I love mine.  And I know people here who have them will agree w/ me.  

E-mail Cav Arms or one of their dealers.  Castle Arms (a Cav dealer), has their own area.  Ask them.

I have 2. Both are OD green. I think the world of them. They are appx 25% lighter than a standard lower. I think they have a self lubricating property. I do lube them, but the lube just seems to work better. Very smooth operation. Never a failure attributable to the lower. You will save money here as the butt stock & pistol grip need not be purchased. The only thing that is a challenge is the lack of a sling mount. This is overcome by purchasing the Tac-sling from them. Awesome quality there as well. I even got one for my pre-ban shorty. Basicly, you WON'T be sorry if you do business with Cavalry Arms.
