    Question Olympic Arms?

    Have a 2004 model oly. The p-mags or thermolds will not lock up in the mag well. What are the options here to get his working?

    Promptly dispose of one Olympic Arms lower and start from scratch. My guess is their lower is out of spec and you're not going to have much luck.

    For unknown reasons there were several years where OA failed to bevel the magazine well nearest the trigger guard. This left more material in place to contact the ridge of the body of the Pmag. Sorry for the crappy photo, but it shows what I'm talking about.

    Question

    This rifle is my brother in laws. So is there a easy way to get this fixed or should he just try and sell it? It's brand new and never fired.

    Olympic arms are TRASH, out of spec JUNK. Putting a pmag in one should be against the law.

    Don't sell it. Because that would be passing a piece of shit onto a fellow shooter. To me that's a crappy thing to do.

    I just shot a class with a guy with a Damned OLY. Another malf fest hunk of crap.

    I'm not tracking.

    There's nothing "unknown" about OLY's disregard for quality or customer service. There's nothing "unknown" about the corners that Oly cuts in its junky weapons.
    There's nothing "unknown" about how OLY will tell you that there's nothing they can do when you go to make a claim on that great lifetime guarantee!
