Don,
Just a short note to let you know that I received my new rifle. The Dallas,
Texas area has experienced several encounters with heavily armed criminals
within the past several months. Many police agencies in the Dallas
Metroplex have since armed their officers with patrol rifles. My agency has
purchased the Colt Law Enforcement carbines for patrol units. Several
officers have decided to purchase their own AR-15 rifles from Colt and
Bushmaster in order to maintain the correct "dope" on their sights and not
be out-gunned by the criminals.
Having heard and read about Olympic Arms quality in their rifles, I decided
to make my purchase an Oly. As luck would have it, I received my K3B two
days prior to the department receiving our Colts. As a Range Officer, part
of my responsibilities are to make sure new firearms function properly. I
took my new Oly K3B and the five new Colt LE carbines to the range. The
results were amazing.
At mechanical zero, all five Colts fired a pretty good group at
approximately eight o'clock on the target. Not bad. I removed my new Oly
from the carrying case, and without making a single adjustment to the
sights, I placed consistent shots in a tighter group in the X-ring. Not
only did the Oly fire more accurately out of the "box", but the fit and
finish of the weapon was superior to that of the Colts. I am not
Colt-bashing, I own several, but the Oly's heavier barrel and the overall
appearance is outstanding.
Thank you for your assistance, Don while I was making my decision to
purchase a duty rifle.

Olympic wasn't always my first choise in an AR15 but after I saw the warranty I figured I'd give you a try. I am so glad I did! Even the least expensive rifle you had at the time shot 1/2" groups at 100 yards with Federal 55 grain FMJBT's. Since then, I have also purchased a K3B Flat-Top with Stainless Steel Barrel and haven't looked back since. Thanks Olympic for the quality product and exceptional customer service. You've earned a customer for life!
Thank You, Jonathan A*

My first "black rifle" was a PCR4 with a 20" stainless ultramatch barrel. I don't consider myself to be a great shot, but this gun makes me look good! -Kyle Cain

"...as a matter of fact I personally think that your parts and receivers are the best looking and functioning ( better than my Colt !! ) of several that I have owned or currently own !!"

"I am very please with my NM AR-15. My scores jumped from 78% to 85% right out of the box after the break in period.
Just FYI, the majority of NM AR-15 on the line at the club are Olympic. They out number the Colts®, Armalites® and Bushmasters®. As a matter of fact you hear other guys talking about their next AR-15 will be an Olympic due to its performance."

"I recently purchased your 'Ultramatch' AR-15 with the 20" barrel. The guy selling me the rifle said they got 1/4" groups out of them. I was pretty skeptical, as getting quarters out of a bolt gun is tough enough. However, he was right! The first night I got a .260 with 40-grain Ballistic tips. Knowing it would probably shoot better with the heavier bullets, I tried some 55-grain Ballistic tips and shot the best group of my life, a .074". I was witnessed by Kevin Huxoll, a correctional officer at the Washington State Penitentiary. Thanks for a great gun!"

They are always exceedingly impressed with the fact that my 11.5in bbl will without question shoot M.O.A. at 100yds. Not bad eh? Keep up the phenomenal work."

"I ordered a T-2 upper receiver last week to update an older A-1 receiver CAR-15 kit I had purchased from PAC West Arms over 10 years ago. The kit was all PAC West except your barrel. Your barrel had always been accurate for a 10 1/2 inch CAR barrel set up but it had a sight problem. The rifle sights had to be adjusted all the way to the right in order for it to be on target. I put a scope on this less than mil-spec A-1 upper receiver and shot it that way for over 10 years. Now, after installing your upper receiver this weekend and firing it, I was amazed how accurate it is now! I only had to adjust the sights one click to the right and it is was dead on target! My brass used to come out pretty chewed up and now that problem is gone as well! Another item I noticed was the upper to lower receiver fit is much tighter now. This allowed me to remove the plastic spacer I had to use to take the slop out! There was a small mix up on my order but your folks fixed that with one phone call. My rifle is like new now and I only wished I had updated it sooner! When you say mil-spec tolerances you mean mil-spec tolerances! I am a very satisfied customer, keep up the good work! "
