    actually zach, Cav Arms owner pleaded guilty to selling 27 firearms out of state without using the FFL process. License was revoked of course

    I just got one of these lowers with a BCM middy lightweight upper, and its so light it feels like a toy.

    From a credible source, CavArms in currently in negotiation with an other company that would continue to manufacture CavArms lowers. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
