Olympic Arms OA-93, SomeOtherGuy nailed it.
One of my buddies scored one a few weeks ago....pretty rare actually. I was all WTF is that dude and he educated me. Haven't handled or seen it in person, but looks exactly like the one in the OP.
If it wasn't for the fact that, that thing came from the factory like that I would say it would be a prime contender for the gunsmithing hall of shame thread.
Who am I kidding, I think it still is.
Thanks for the history lesson.
I'd actually read / seen something similar a few years back, but couldn't pull the details out of my cobwebs.
To the rest on here, that probably has potential as a historical oddity ... though I wonder if it's still GTG in the ban states?
Very informative link, thanks. Looks like this guy is selling an OA-98, and the heat shield may be some sort of replacement, or possibly a factory part that's different from what's pictured at the link.
The related pistol AOW I once saw is apparently an OA-93TG.
Some people shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of a milling machine.
