    The Oly SS barrels that I've seen and used have been very accurate, though I've seen a few tight chambers. Their SS barrels tend to be much higher quality than their others from what I have seen.

    It has nothing to do with like. It is the fact that they do not perform and have an unproven track record.

    Have you run your Oly through a regular carbine class? As I have stated before I know a few people who thought that since their ARs didn't malfunction at the range during light use they were good to go for a serious carbine class. They went to the carbine class and had lots of problems. Lots of Failure to Fire, Failure ot Eject, Failure to feed, stovepipes.

    Oly and the others are fine for general range use, but I would never put my life in hands of one since they HAD to cut corners to get them to the price point being sold.
