Re: Assembled/Complete AR's
I'm going to be honest, I am one of the moderators at Olympic Arms owners forum (OA2.org). And although I own various brand AR's over the years, I don't want to seem biased because I really am not, although I can honestly say that I've never had any problems with my Olympics.
They have been offering a very affordable carbine called the "
Plinker Plus Flat Top" that is around the $650 mark. The only thing they are lacking are a detachable A2 carryhandle set of flip up sights or red dot or scope.
Olympic (unlike most other brands) actually manufacture most of their parts in-house (even barrels) instead of buying from various manufacturers, which gives them a very uniform products even between batches and lots.
Rossignol, I sent you a PM. I'm not going to twist your arm, but I extended an invitation to pick my brain if you want.
I had a gun dealership for almost a decade and have bought and transferred guns from just about every AR manufacturer out there during that time, so I can honestly tell you that I wont' hold any punches, but it's up to you to ask.
Edit to add picture of the Olympic Arms Plinker Plus Flat Top carbine:
Here's one for $620
