Anyone ever bought something from Cavalry Arms? I want to fix up my AR15 and they have incredible prices. I also like their Coyote Brown furniture. Yea? Nea?

Cav ams, is a good place, with good products.

I hav not yet purchased one myself, but there's another forum i hangout in, that i've had the chance to talk to several of their employees for quite some time, as well as talking to others there who have purchased their products.



When i get things wrangled around, you can bet i'll be knocking on their door :)

Hell yea!


Bought one of their lowers, have some of their furniture, all great stuff!


Their customer service IMO is top notch. I cant say a bad thing about them.

Cav arms receivers are NOT CMP/NRA service rifle legal so if you ever want to get into competition you'll be throwing it away and buying a real receiver.

I was disappointed with the performance/reliability of some "rifles" built up on Cav Arms receivers that showed up at a competition here a few years ago.

YMMV

I'll let the guys from Cavarms answer on that aspect since i don't have the knowledge of what is or is not cmp/nra service legal.



as for performance/reliability, each and every manufacturer that has ever existed has had lemons from time to time.

It happens, it's a part of life, so judging an entire manufacturer by a small sample isn't a good idea.

now if it was a continuing problem, with each and every unit sold, then that would be something to judge, hell I've personally seen a Barret M82 that wouldnt hit the broad side of a barn, manufacturering defect was the cause, and yes the replaced the part without charge, but it does happen to everyone eventually.

guess we'll just have to see what the cavarms guys have to say about it.

Being that the CAV-15 is NOT and AR-15, they are not CMP legal (at this time). We have revised the CAV-15 receiver several time and the current generation are currently in use with Military and Police units all over the country. We have a policy of supplying free furniture to the AZ junior shooters (several have come buy for our C1 stocks). We also sponsor several juniors around the country (mostly IPSC and 3-Gun). The Cav Arms shooting team shoots matches all over the US (see the web site for list of matches as well as pictures). We really don’t do anything with CMP, it isn’t much reflection on the type of shooting the staff enjoys (we are more of action shooters) and does not help us with R&D for our Military/Law Enforcement projects.

There were problem with the first generation guns and some of our first rifles were problematic due to the use of parts from ASA (Bad chambers and gas ports). We have learned alot since then and have upgraded/replaced most of those early guns.

As of the first of the year, we entered into a agreement with Armalite to manufacture the CAV-15 under the Armalite banner. The lifetime warrantee is still in effect and is this; If the receiver fails under normal use, we replace it for free. If it fails due to conditions outside of normal use (bad ammo, car wrecks, house fires, etc) we will replace the lower for $30.00 as long as you can get the metal serial number tag back to us. I’m not sure what the warrantee offered by Armalite will be., but our warrantee to them (as well as any guns marked “Cavalry Arms” will remain as stated above).

Bill, if you have a bad lower, or you just want to look around the shop, we are just down the road in Gilbert. Give us a call (480) 833-9685

Chris... You want to host another Prairie Dog apocalypse for us this year? We got new AR-10T’s we need to break in :)

The rifles we made a few years ago, are completely different from the rifles we make today.

I also ask that you keep in mind the vast majority of receivers we have sold did not leave the factory as complete rifles. Most were assembled into rifles by end users, or sometimes dealers, and are not factory rifles.

I've been regularly participating in action shooting here in AZ for the past 3 years, and anyone who knows me will tell you my rifle always works even if I'm not the best shooter out there....though my skills are constantly improving.

You're welcome to come see us at Mystery Mountain this coming week, and test out some of our guns if we have a chance to walk up to the main range. I attend all the local rifle/shotgun and 3 gun matches too if you would like to come check out our products sometime.

See you at the range....

Im game... looks like we have had a few of our holes close up... but if you need things to shoot, Ill find us a spot:)


Oh... only if I get to fondle one of these AR10:p
