Hi all,

I saw the latest cover of the Shotgun News Treasury.  It has a digital camo duracoated Olympic Arms KLG40 on the front cover.


so that led me to the 9mm version that takes Glock magazines, and I presume would take the big 33 round 9mm Glock mag:

and I hear Lone Wolf makes a 9mm AR lower which takes Glock mags:

Yeah...yeah....I know...it seems like everybody on the internet loves to bash Olympic Arms.

What say you?

Had a Olympic Arms NM AR some years ago.

Scoped, using handloads, 100yds from a rest it would it would put them in .75" all day, mag after mag full.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.

Thanks!

I am glad I was able to help you reach self-actualization.

I've got one of the Lone Wolf lowers with an upper I built. I love it, being able to use Glock mags is a great + for 9mm AR's. I don't know anything about the Oly models but I too think they get an unfair reputation, everything I've ever seen from them was quality. One of the best 1911's I've ever owned was a custom built Safari Arms (part of Olympic Arms)

A long time shooting partner in NC, had an Oly standard AR, and it went bang every time. I too think half of the criticism of Oly came from folks that heard about a guy, that knew a guy's former roommates cousin's brother who had a POS.....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Are you referring to AR15.com?  I tried that site for a couple days before realizing the incredible amount of douchebaggery present there.  In fact, it took longer for them to deem me worthy of membership and allow me to join than it took me to decide I didn't want to have anything to do with them.

If I offend any AR15.com members who frequent DRTV, I guess I'll just have to live with myself.
