Need AR Lower?

[darkwang]

The more I think about it, the more I'm desperate to consider one I have no AR anymore and now I cannot afford to buy one...... I hope I don't regret not buying one of these while I can for under $200!

I dont think its that bad at all... needs some "work", like a cammo pattern and I think it would be fine.

I have one (although one generation older without the sling hole) in my safe. I prefer a normal lower but only because you can change stocks. It's not a bad lower. I have shot many rounds out of mine.

If you want a lightweight AR, then these are nice. I've done several builds and this is still one of my favorites.

I have to say that my first words about the bare lower were "that sucker is butt ugly"

But after I saw darrent's weapon I changed my mind. Nice build.

DARN, they are out of stock...................

They are back in stock.

They have 35 in black 3 in coyote tan as of right now.

They recently bumped the price up $15 to $195 but... 10% off coupon code here.

Ugly as sin, but desperate times, desperate measures.

These are what used to be Calvary Arms. The guy who is producing them bought all the machinery and is running now. I spent some time talking to him on the phone last weekend. He is retired military and GWACS makes shot detection systems for the military. He is a nice guy trying to get started. Told him about INGO and what they had tried to make for us previously...an INGO imprinted special order lower that never happened. If anyone doesn't have a lower...you can call him on the number on the website. He answers directly. He will still transfer to FFL for you as of last weekend. I have shot a couple of the original Calv lowers and they are ugly but very functional.

I have several of the original Cav Arms MKII lowers, which are still covered by his warranty. The lowers are fantastic, even if some folks don't like the looks of them. They work, they are light weight, and they are good to go. I built an ultra-light pink one for my daughter with a pencil thin barrel and the thing is the easiest swinging, lightest AR15 that I've ever shot and it attracts crowds at the public shooting ranges with all sorts of people coming up asking to try it out. Cav Arms MKII lowers are commonly used in shooting competitions.

Here are a few of the guns I built for my daughter, but while these are non-traditional colors, they offer OD green, black and desert tan.

If you don't have an AR, but want one... this might not be a bad option.

Good to know!

I think I just might get one now. I'd much rather get an aluminum lower with the traditional carbine style stock, but for all intents and purposes, this big polymer lower might actually make for a nice coyote gun.

As ugly as it is, i am sure they are making a lot of money selling them right now.

 

[iauffenberg]

that is one ugly unit im glad i dont need or want any of those mayby we should start sand molding lowers

I had one of the original Cav Arms lowers years ago. They function like they should and that is what matters. If you buy your weapon systems based solely on looks, maybe you all should invest in some nice engraved over/unders.
