We've sold literally over a hundred various Olympic AR's at 21st Century, and everybody that has them loves them. Some have even come back to buy a 2nd or 3rd, or told their family and friends to get one. In the unlikely event something does go wrong, they have a lifetime warranty, and good customer service.

Good, I think I will be in this week to take a look at them, I want something in flattop as I plan to target shoot with it

Yea come and take a look. Any of the guys their will be happy to help you out. Plus we have an AR smith that works partime there, and can do about anything to any AR, if you want to customize it down the road.

Anything unique about the kit? The 7-8 month leadtime sounds about like what I've heard over on ARFCOM.

I am thinking of getting rid of a lower, whne you make up your mind PM me for details.

current Olympic guns are a very good value, and your not paying extra for the name, like on a Bushmaster, Colt, etc.

There's that famous saying again.......not paying for a name.

Well, I paid for the S&W name on my M&P15. Solid parts, great fit & finish, shoots ,223 and NATO 5.56 rounds, Has all the standard feature that EVERY M4 carbine out here has and it's got the lifetime warranty.

If I overpaid a bit, then consider it a small contribution to keeping an American institution up and running.

 

[Dtruck260]

Do you like the S&W? That is one I am looking at also, but was unsure if it was/good/different/better, steep learning curve with AR's it seems

 

[LPMan59]

s&w is gtg

 

[Dtruck260]

Good, I will keep them on my list then, but still quality wise? the same as most?

If you're familiar with the M16/M4 platform, you will have no problems with just about ANY of the ARs mentioned here. They are pretty much standardized except for a few bells and whistles from each manufacturer.
The S&W M15 is one of those standardized good-to-go models and can be updated/modernized/accessorized until you run out of money.

Thanks very much, that was the answer I have been looking for! why does every hobby run me outta money?

I spend almost all my money on women, booze and firearms. The rest, I just fritter away.

I know I link this a lot (thanks to another INGOer who pointed me to it), but this is a great link to read when you're just starting out in the AR world and are curious what really makes the difference between Colt, Bushmaster, Del-ton, Olympic, etc.

So you want to buy an AR-15, huh? - Police Forums & Law Enforcement Forums @ Officer.com

Good luck!

I got my AR from Bob's Pawn shop here in Kokomo for $500. There is one at Bullseye shooting range on US 31 for $700

 

[chraland51]

I already have an AR15 target rifle, but am considering the acquisition of something like a Sportical or a Plinker Plus. Any opinions on which one might be the better of the two or even another that is in the same price range?

 

[venenoindy]

I like the Rock river myself

 

[Nemick]

I too have been looking into the AR 15 platform and I have succeeded in getting myself utterly confused. I could very esily spend a whole bunch of money before really understanding if I even like the things. I'm now planning on buying a Bushmaster as a starting point and going fro there. Does that seem like a reasonable plan of attack>
Thanks
