Speaking of CavArms
The CAV-15 MKII receivers are back in production, after receiving approval from BATF Technology Branch for the method of affixing the serial number plate to the lower. We are currently filling back orders for our dealers and OEM clients. We will begin taking retail orders when all dealer back orders are filled. Please check with our dealers to see if they have in stock what you need.
Glad they’re back in business on lowers. But:
We are currently not selling complete lowers, or complete rifles. Our vendors for these parts have substantial back orders. We currently have no ETA for these parts. If you are concerned about impending legislation, buy a lower receiver now and assemble it into a complete rifle when the supply chain stabilizes.

“If you are concerned about impending legislation, buy a lower receiver now and assemble it into a complete rifle when the supply chain stabilizes.”
Ummmm, in a word, NO!
The gunnysphere, as I’ve been reading and occasionally writing in it over the past 5 years, seems to think that any AR ban (AWB 2) would include all parts for receivers as well as complete sub-assemblies such as lower and upper receivers.
Most knowledgeable gunnies have been advising buying weapons AND parts against just such a total ban.

Rivrdog,
All the makers of barrels, uppers, fire control parts, etc are sold out for the entire production run for 2009.
Buy what you can now, get the rest later or be prepared to do without. You can hope that nothing happens in the 6-12 months you are waiting for the complete rifle.
Ideally yes, buy complete rifles. For many, that is just not a practical option with the current supply situation.
