Just ordered a Olympic Arms

[Ruskie]

20" A2 complete kit, assembled upper with fired/headspaced bolt, all parts except lower reciever, they are on sale direct from Olympic
for $425.....I think I did good...whats the recommendations for a lower reciever, Fullton armory wants $150, Olympic about $100. various others for $99 and up...........I want a forged one....Ruskie

[Circuits]

The forged olympic will be a perfect match to your olympic parts kit. Just about any other lower will also do - plenty to choose from, but the Oly is among the least expensive forged offerings.

I agree with Circuits, go with the T3 forged, the cast "plinker" I got I was not very impressed with, it's functional but color is off and it just doesn't look as good as my Bushy or my Oly T3.

[Ruskie]

found one here in San Antonio, all the shops are high as hell, $140 for oly, but the oly mail order will be $125 by the time I pay shipping and ffl fee's.......take it in the ass either way........Ruskie

[Ruskie]

$150 out the door for the Oly forged lower, now just waiting for the PCR4 rifle parts to arrive and start to build.............anybody have any tips as to the lower reciever parts assembly??

just ordered my Oly pcr4 kit monday.........i know i know ......missed that sale by one day ....DAMN! However i think oly still has the best price on there kits, mine came to $491.95 otd including shipping. can't waite to get it........i will be matching it up to a forged DPMS lower reciever paid $143 otd for it. i got the 20" kit, hope it shoots like as good as they say:D :D :D :D

[Ruskie]

I saved about $60 with the sale price, so thats good, but for the kit being almost all assembled, with a test fired and head-spaced bolt, they're hard to beat, I think they are the only mfgr. selling the kits headspaced and test fired.
Ruskie

p.s. got the 20inch barrel also, it's what the 5.56mm was designed for, so that is the right one in my opinion.

[Ruskie]

about an hour and a half to assemble the lower reciever, another half hour to finish it up, looks real good, parts all fit great, fit and finish are first rate.......top end all assembled, so not much to it, total cost with shipping and lower reciever was $587.....not counting mags and sling....I'm happy
Ruskie
p.s. will test fire and report back this week

You got me beat by 4 dollars, last .223 build was $591, good luck with your new toy.:D

will go to the range tomorrow, no time to go to the ranch....see what she'll do............

works very well, was about 10inches low, used front sight to zero at that range, groups with open sights, semi- bench rested, were at under 2 or 3 inches, at best a few in 1 inch.......... used Israeli military ball winchester, 55gr fmj, and barnaul 55gr fmj, both shot about the same accuracy wise..............absolutely no feed or extraction problems...........using 20rd GI aluminum mags.

beautiful day to be at the range, about 70F clear and sunny, too bad I could only shoot paper............how boring! I
Recommend the Olympic PCR4 in kit form, or as a complete rifle, very easy to assemble reciever, and top end is already done for you..............Ruskie

[1911s4ever]

got my kit in a day after my last post. kit looked gerat, went together very nice, no problems with parts in the kit fitting my DPMS lower, nice fit of upper to lower. only thing i had to do was to polish the sear to get a smooth trigger pull, was a little rough. looks great!!!!! will get to the range i hope this weekend.........can't wait !! hope it shoots as well as yours Ruskie. i will be shooting south african .223 ammo it has worked well in my ak. will report back after a day at the range.........:sex:

[Ruskie]

LOL i'am in love.......ran 100 rounds throught it using the oly arms break in guide....then set up a target at 100 yards and it held 2" to 3" groups semi bench rest ....used the south african ammo with no problems....smoooooth action...i like my aAK in .223 but this is sweet!! first time i have fired an AR type since boot in 1970....really glad i got one......will think about a scope down the road or maybe a red dot, have a red dot on my ak an it is nice. i know i will be back at the range asap!!!........hummmm i think i want a flat top next, got the fever bad now lol.

[1911s4ever]
