Since being out of the Corps, I'vedesperately wantto own an AR.
I'm familar with Colt, Bushmaster, Armalite, Trijicon AR's, But these also come with a price of $1,000 or more easily.
I know it's also b/c of their quality.
OA's history:
I've found a website selling OA AR15's for $599 :what:
These AR's are made by Olympic Arms, which doesn't seem to have the reputation of the one's listed above.
My Question is,
Can anyone proivde any suggestions or comments on or about Olypic Arms AR's ?
Thanks

OA's history:
Olympic Arms builds and sells AR15 pattern rifles and pistols. It also owns Safari Arms, maker of Colt 1911 pattern pistols.
Olympic Arms began as Schuetzen Gun Works (SGW) in 1956, manufacturing barrels in Colorado Springs, CO. In 1975 the company moved to Olympia, WA. In 1982, SGW changed its name to Olympic Arms. In 1987 the company purchased Safari Arms, adding the M1911 pistol to its AR15 products.
Olympic Arms was the first company to mass produce some of the newer features of AR15 style rifles, such as flat-top receivers, free floating aluminum handguards, pistol caliber conversions, and AR15 based pistols. Olympic also manufactures some non-standard caliber AR15s such as .30 Carbine, 9mm and .45 ACP.
