Olympic Arms lower rev.
- Thread starter Badlag
- Start date
I own an Oly and find it quite nice to shoot.
As a build gun I don't recomend it as the reciever is not "milspec"
by that I mean it won't match up to other manufactures uppers without some fitting.
I don't know if this is true of all Oly's but it certainly is for the builds I've seen done with them.
That being said with a bit of filling on the rails and the front pin area you can usually get another upper to fit.
YMMV

If it fits your upper and your LPK, it's fine.
The one I had was an 10.5" barrel with a carry handle upper.
The rifle worked fine for a time I used it. I got it used and put about 1500 rnds through it.
In it's origional config "SOME" other reg uppers would fit on it.
When I decided to rebuild it with a FF front end and a flat top upper I tried 2 different manf. and could not get any to work properly.
I still have the stripped upper and complete lower, just have to find a use for it.
Maybe a Glock 9mm conversion.

Olympic Arms are the bottom of the barrel; none cheaper, or more cheaply made. They are cast, stay away; nuff said. It's like drinking, Maddog 20/20 will get you drunk just as a good Scotch will, but are you seriously going to drink Maddog 20/20? If all you can afford is an Oly, then you need to save up. Don't do an AR half-a*sed. It's just not right.
