I plan on using it to teach my 9 year old how to shoot. The A1 stock length and light weight were the main reasons I wanted to build one. I have a A3 upper with a 16" 1/12 twist barrel. I think it will be a fund camp gun for our trips to the country. I ordered one for a dedicated .22LR rifle. I plan on using it to teach my 9 year old how to shoot.

So Cav Arms has an expensive legal fight for the return of their property on their hands. It me, it's yet another reason to support them.

They print special codes after the items in the catalog that translate to discounted prices, and the website automatically applies discounts if you're registered and logged in. I doubled checked, and both the catalog and website list the CAV-15 receiver for $100 after discount, which is pretty awesome. @Dave

Glad they got past that ATF lunacy in tact. I'd be interested to know the details of that. It'd also be cool if they made a polymer lower without the stock & handguard. Cool.

I think the MSRP is $150 from Cav Arms' website. I don't think they make the crazy colors anymore (yellow, red, blue, glow in the dark, etc), just OD, Coyote and black. I'm too much of a customization junkie to build one as a main shooter, but I'd absolutely put together an entry-level light build and camo finish it myself at the shop.

I'm going to get one or three because I don't have a single polymer lower in my collection. Their old polymer black lower/receiver cost around $50 two years ago before the ATF mess.
