Raid on Cavalry Arms....

btt. until more facts revealed.

Typical media hype. Very little good information.

Entire inventory confiscated.

Warrant provides no clue as to charges...one liner "federal firearms violations"; "seize everything".

No doubt some will object to this action, others will line up to testify for the prosecution.

My take: get ready for more "showtime" ops as ATF prepares for new expansion under a dem. administration.

So you admit you have no facts, but speculate that?

My take: a bunch of criminals violating the law?

This has something to do with Warren Mee of Ameetec Arms (located in Gilbert, AZ about 3 miles away from Cav Arms). Warren was a former investor in Cavalry Arms before he went his own way.

Back in August or September or so (can't remember exactly), Ameetec was having a great sale on CAV-15 lowers. I took a spin down there and picked one up, and I bought it from Warren.

I'm hearing rumors that Warren Mee is now in the Fed Pokey. I can't find out what for, but I did come across one bad business dealing where it appears he stole a prototype receiver from another manufacturer, SBR'd it and set it to full auto as a police demo.

That particular issue appears to be fixed up, but I can't find out exactly what he did to end up in the slammer (of it he is indeed in prison at all).

Searching for his name on ARFCOM comes up with user id # 47221, but his screen name is asterisked out:

Last post date is August 5th, 2007.

I'm wondering if he is turning rat (or making something up) in order to get out of jail early.
 
"Bake Sale" to help Cav Arms...

Cavalry Arms Cav-15 MkII Receiver "Cav-Aid 2008"
This is a special run of Cav-15 MKII receivers. These will be engraved "Cav-Aid 2008" on the side of the magwell. Given Cavalry Arms stellar position in the shooting community and their current troubles, we’re going to help infuse them with some $$$. This is sort of like a bake sale for firearm enthusiast. In the firearms industry your inventory is your working capitol and all of theirs has been taken. They essentially have to start their company all over from scratch, with no working capitol. Their primary vendor has cut them off net 30 terms and put them on COD, so we’re helping them out with that. Everyone wants to help and this is the best idea we had. The proceeds of these sales are going to CavArms so they can get back on their feet. AGP Arms is just fronting the money and handling the transfers, profits are going to CavArms. Please buy a few, you know these are a great item to stock up on and what a great cause.

Important notes about these receivers- They will not be assembled, that just means you have to screw the buttplate on yourself. And you will also need to trim the flash along the seams yourself with a razor knife. Both these steps are very simple to do and will really help the Cav guys to get them out the door fast.

See http://www.cavalryarms.com for specific product information.

No sales where prohibited by law.

Looked like the investigators were in danger of breaking fingernails...

My take is that it is a fishing expedition... If you have the ear of a congresscritter, or the like, drop them an e-mail. The outfit is a SOT, etc., and is in the business of building the things, so one has to wonder...

Ask Cavalry Arm's attorney whether they want such help before you run the risk of pissing someone off.
