I've had three of them. Back in the 80s I was buying Olympic Arms Schuetzen Gun Works (SGW) named after Brian Schuetz and had 13 at one time. I was buying them as parts kits and assembling them like it was cool! I have two Olympic Arms and two CMMG ARs. One CMMG is CMMG in receiver only and the top end, stock and guts are all Olympic Arms. I have always contended that Olympic was the best AR out there and that, I feel was the case at least until recently. I know there are a number of top quality AR makers out there now and CMMG is one. There are so many being made now that one can not keep up.In the last few years I have tried to purchase from Olympic Arms and they won't even talk to anyone from Kaliforniev anymore. They won't even ship and replacement roll pin here
The XM15 is a flame thrower when shooting in low light and the flash is so bad they make horrible entry guns.
