and still junk.......
i know talking about AR's will get people riled up but, on these two brands, a HIGH percentage of people can and will agree that they are one of, if not the lowest quality AR's on the market.
Most are forgetting LaRue!
Gotta give Olympic props for their boycott of New York State in the wake of their gun control law. Generated alot of good will toward the company among gun owners.
google "M4 The Chart"
it will give a break down of all the pro's and con's of each part of a rifle by brand. it was created by RobS and is very useful.
price does NOT equal quality in the AR world.
Colt is the standard with everythign being judged against it. Avoid Olympic, DPMS and other "fly by night" brands.
Daniel Defense, VLTOR, Spikes, Aero Precision, Stag, BCM among others are all top quality rifles that are much lower in cost than POF (very heavy platform), LWRC, Noveske etc. not knocking those mfg's in any way, just too expensive for what most will do with an AR.
bottom line, it's your money and your rifle. do with it what you will. also, keep in mind that in the AR world, EVERYONE has an opinion and their's is the only one that matters! hahaha
For whatever it is worth, both of these rifles would totally "fail" the above mentioned chart.

Exactly Oly has been making AR's longer then most of these companys combinedYou called Olympic Arms a "fly by night" brand. They have been making AR's since 1982. 31 years is a long time for a "fly by night" brand.
