With the prices down and availability of AR up these days, it costs no more to buy a high quality AR. Oly has been a problematic maker all along for over 20 years to my direct knowledge. At the cost of a Smith & Wesson or Rock River or other quality maker.....why save 50 bucks and get a Oly.

Yes, there are exceptions : a few Oly shoot good and may have been made right. Ya wanna bet the farm on your luck to get one of these with the record OLY has set?

Buy the best AR you can afford.

THere is a reason some AR are far cheaper than others. There are short cuts done in manufacture and that accounts to why they sell cheaper.

In sum: the answer to the problem with Oly is Quality Control.
