Olympic Arms demise

I like the looks of the GG mags vs the Oly mag too.

Im holding out for a G21 mag lower. I have all these Kriss mags being ignored.

I like the grease gun look over the glock mags, I fell In Love with 98's gun when I saw it.

Green Swamp Tactical is what you seek

Also - pretty sure 45 wad fits in a sten mag - so with a single mag adapter - two uppers!

I tried to place an order with Olympic and received this email notification this morning:

Hope it gets sold and more importantly sold to someone quality. Would be a shame for all that history to fade away.

I own two Olympic Arms AR's...a CAR-97 ( Me ) and a Plinker Plus ( for the SGM )...and both have served me well over the years.

{ Evidently the EDIT button disappears after a few minutes }

DNP · February 6, 2017

Edit button leaves a limit due to some folks who used to like to start crap...and then edit out their previous nonsense. It's one of those "two idiots ruined it for everyone" situations

SHOOTER13 · February 6, 2017

Copy that...

I moderate a few forums myself...sounds useful.

When the standard was forged receivers, they actualy made a line of cast receivers, and that's where the problems arose. Air bubbles in the cast receivers caused them to crack, when beat on. The Plinker line was all made from cast receivers to keep the cost down. Lower cost was the whole reason for the cast receivers in the first place.

It sucks that they're closing - they made everything - everything! - in house. No one else did that, back then. Outsource this and that, etc. Oly made it all, themselves.

That's exactly what my setup is.

Damn you!!!!!!

***Edit just looked at the order form they're on sale for 225$ right now @Magwa did you ever order one?

Justin is CNC Guns, the billet lower for Grease Gun mags. There's also a Justin at Olympic Arms, that deals with the AR-45s. Who you talking about, fool?
