You're right

@kychas


Yes, someone designed one for 3D printing.  Look for monopoly on the Gatalog

I don't remember too much from back then but seeing old screen names in headlines is a bit disconcerting

Oh good to know. If I find it again I'll have to buy it.



Ya I don't want to be too hard on him.  But he was a little too defensive of Karl. Especially when the dude flamed out enough to break his relationship with Ian (Forgotten Weapons), and brownells.

I don't think he was directly involved in the antifa shenanigans. But having relatively close ties to many of the folks who were involved....

I'm just hoping the KE lowers don't become official arms of the commie militia.  Because I like how it evolved from the cav arms one.

I think that's how she spelled her name. Could be wrong.

I’ve got a lightish 18” hunting build based around one. 18” Faxon pencil barrel, slick side upper, PSA lightweight rail I had laying around, and an ALG ACT or similar. Recently replaced the Strike Eagle with a Sig Tango 1-10.

Chesty...

Russell and Karl have probably been involved in tons of 3 gun and 3 gun type events together for a couple of decades,  I doubt Russell tags along to the satanic or leftist gigs.   I bumped into Karl at a gunshow'ish event a few months ago,  we've been in classes together in the past, we talked briefly.  Karl is a habitual contrarian,  if the so called Church of Satan was "mainstream" he'd be a Christian.

And yet, Russel still does social media with Antifa, JBGC, SRA and satanist groups (although the latter isn't important, IMO, just cringe). KE Arms also doesn't separate themselves from the social media attachment to those violent leftists that both Russel and Karl align and do content with like Tacticool Girlfriend and Deviant Ollum.

Me three...

Picked one out of the big box that had just been delivered,  then promply drank a bunch of Shawn's booze and racked out on his office couch.  

I never interacted with folks from the forum back in the day so finding out about their off-line activities years later is so weird.

GWACS is no longer producing and a new anti gun funder was launching frivolous lawsuits against KE Arms over supposing IP issues to bankrupt KE. KE Arms made additional refinements and now produces their own lowers.

Interestingly, the fixed stock is set up to A1 length. Russel had said that A1 length is the most commonly used length even among shooters with collapsible stocks.

I can confirm he is a retard. Unaware if he is a retard+commie

The leftists, like Antifa, refer to their militia activity as “community defense.” Not by accident, KE Arms sells a “community defense rifle.”

I bought 25 of them during the blow out, still have them. Some built out others just top shelf in a safe.

The make great lowers for can cannons too

I found this,  is this the type of advocacy you're referring to?

The "2A for Everyone" slogan is a dogwhistle for everyone but the CURRENT 2A community. Either you're a moby undermining the community or you can research where that slogan comes from and that it's a gaslight for the simpletons. They don't believe in the INDIVIDUAL right to the 2A, but the community right.

Commie activities of KE Arms/Inrange TV mega-thread


100% this is their stance. They are not for the individual right to keep and bear arms. They are for the community to do so at the expense of individuals they see as undesirable.

Leftists may not want us/everyone to have access to the 2nd Amendment but Russell sure does.

Guilty by association. I'll have to take your word for it, but his word is meaningless.

Threads like this make me feel really old.

The Cav Arms Mk 2 lower was engineered to accept .45 ACP M3 Grease Gun magazines in conjunction with a specialty Hahn block and an Olympic Arms blowback upper.

What caliber Olympic Arms upper do you think would run best with .45 ACP M3 Grease Gun magazines?

GWACS apparently still has blem Mk2s for sale.  They are currently involved in litigation with KE Arms in a dispute over KE Arms' KP-15.  On GWACS' side, the litigation is apparently being funded by an "angel investor" who doesn't think civilians should own AR-15s:

https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_6/2571815_InRange-KE-Arms-Brownells-WWSD-Ian-McCollum-Cav-Arms-the-Mk2-the-KP-15-and-GWACS.html

You may also find used & NOS Mk2s roll marked Cav Arms, Armalite, and Sabre Defense.

Those of you with Mk 1s, identifiable by the captured takedown pins, pay careful attention to the rear takedown pin detent hole on the right side.  If it cracks there that may propagate down the side of the lower and cause it to fail.  Also, very early Mk 1s had an issue with the buffer tube rear failing, hence the Mk2 using a carbine length buffer.

KE Arms has also produced KP-15s for another company up north, whose name escapes me at the moment.

Sabre Defense was the company that got nailed for customs shenanigans.  That led ATF to investigate Cav Arms, and subsequently shut them down, much as they nearly shut down Stag.

The Russell/Sinistral thread has been linked above if you care to wade through it.

WarFairy's Charon was an early printable lower that included significant stock reinforcement, there are many others now, and the Charon could be printed in up to 4 small pieces and glued together IIRC.

He partners with Karl and is partially paid by InRange.  Russell is also about what makes him money, the "2A is for everyone" is just as much about benefiting him as a Capitalist as it is about him being constitutionalist.    

This is what Karl has said in an interview with "A better way 2A":

Karl: "With the firearms community, I don't see an alternative left, but as we grass roots grow groups everywhere working together, again with shared values, maybe not always shared beliefs, shared values will be where we can make a new space that is separate and distinct and different from the old and if we succeeded doing that well, the old one might become sort of defunct and we will become the new gun community."

Karl does not see his vision coexisting with the gun community, he wants to replace it.  No anarchist/socialist/communist is going to get involved in with any organization without eventually trying to insert their beliefs or principles into it.  

All of this is known to Russell, who basks in the attention Karl's audience brings.   Oh, and Russell has also been a guest on "A better way 2a"

Got one somewhere, never built it.

This is incorrect. Cav Arms was raided in 2008. Their Cavaid lowers are even dated 2008. Their drama was mostly complete by 2010.

Sabre Defence was raided in February of 2010.

I didn't encounter a single CavArms lower that didn't need some  work to get running properly. Some of them didn't need much work, but all of them needed some.  

You mean the lawsuit against them by an anti-gun company, that tried to sue on insanely thin Intellectual Property grounds, solely because they were selling ARs that were an improvement over a non-patented design, whose producer the anti-gun company had bought the name of?
The one that got large chunks tossed out, including the parts naming Brownells and a few others as defendants?

I don't like some of Karl's opinions and alignments (not that it means anything, I'm literally a nobody posting from a goofy username on the Internet), but the suit was obvious BS from the jump.
Come to think of it, a quick check of KE Arms's social media says 4/15 was supposed to be the start of the civil trial on the few remaining matters. Granted, that update was posted 11NOV2023.

71 ounces with that crap on it

2008 called. They want their camera back.

And just to show people either tell Karl about what's posted here or he still browses the forum:

Here's my Pidgeon Grey one. Can't really remember how many they said they made in this goofy color. I've read 15 or 20, and I think one guy said they made 25
.
Finding matching hand guards was the toughest part. I found some lighter grey ones that were sort of close. Not even sure where they are. This one has never been used.  

I have had one since 2008. It has had several different upper halves, but I am fairly settled with the latest one, which has been on it for the last 11 years.
