Thank TOTHEMAX.  They have free shipping on 1st time ammo buys, browsing now.  Found some high speed solid bullet ELEY for my MIL, for her house pistol.  FMJ should penetrate deep enough.

Ah, only for their ammo, and only for $150 worth.  But they have flat shipping for $10 under $150, and they have a decent price on .30 carbine and .22 LR Eley FMJ supers, so that fits my Da's and my MIL's Xmas guns.

Bwahahaha!  We crashed their server.  Trying to take the ammo off the order now.

ETA:  Anyone get one?  When their server came back up, the lower is still in my cart, but now says out of stock.  They've got pretty good deals on CMC cartridge triggers, but think I'm gonna grab a LaRue for less.

I scored one after their servers came back online about 1230 Pacific. . 25 shipped is pretty damn cheap. Now to find the other cheap parts I dont have on hand.

$20 Field Sport from Amazon and $10 UTG low profile mount.  Both get decent reviews here.  I probably won't shoot it enough to break anything.

@Popov - that's a great price.  Keep us appraised of how it well it holds zero.  I managed to break a $20 used Sightmark from a gun show after several years of use, and they replaced it no issues.  They're local to me, so just dropped it off & they mailed me a new one.  Awesome warranty.

Great question.  I was able to get some stripped andersons for 29.99.  I'm wondering the same thing in regards to sales or off to the races.

Wife killed the CC last week so I had to wait for a new card.  Went back to order one of the PSA cheap rifle kits for the SNEK lower to be built and poof!  Gone. The MOE version also bumped 10% to $330 rather than the $299 it was running. Guess I should've FO'd earlier.  Now I have to wait until they tier down again.  Damn it.  $290 ARs are hard to time.  

EDIT:  Looks like the $330 variety is for the EPT build kit.  Currently OOS of standard MOE kits...Thus the price difference.  Here's to hoping or not hoping they show up again.

Just how bad or good are these? Pretty sure I may FO on one of the 7.5" just because...

Edit: NVM... thought the HAWK came with a bcg... did want... now I'm a hold out. Still want to know how lackluster/ magnificent these are...

Edit 2: Guess they didn't want to be a challenger for long and raised their prices. Fuck that. I'll stick with PSA for the $.

Just an FYI for those of you who may need parts (especially takedown pins)

Cavalry Manufacturing has been difficult to deal with and no help at all.  I ordered some pins a month and a half ago and just got my order cancelled today because they don't carry the pins anymore, even though they were on their site.  I had ordered from GWACS in the past, but figured I'd try Cav to see if they were any quicker on the delivery.  Heh, no such luck.  I tried to order again from GWACS today and got a payment processing error.

Does anyone have a lead on another source for the takedown pins?  I've found some half-assed solutions that work fine like some steel rods from the hardware store and "chicago screws" that may work in a pinch.  Also McMaster Carr item # 90156A263 looks damn close.



Someone has to make these for them.  Any leads or advice?

Given that GWACS has stopped production on the Mk 2, not too surprised Cav Arms stopped carrying em.

I thought someone here had found the McMaster Carr product #.  You can get adjustable clevis pins from Home Depot/Lowe's, and use some washers to cinch it up tight if needed.  Not pretty but functional.

My son and I ran two of these last week through a carbine class using some $300 PSA uppers.

About 650-700 rounds each, zero malfunctions, no issues, very pleased with the results.

I needed to cut down the bolt catch spring and file the mag wells a bit to get pmags to drop free.
