    drweiler,
    Wow... you took me to school on that one... I wasn't looking for "Multi Function Rifle out of your Model! LOL!!
    I did know the PCR was Politically Correct Rifle... this was some joke, as removing the AR or M16icon designation made them safer during the Clinton Ban. But Oly pushed it and sold a few.

    Daven,
    My PCR SN is around the 4000 mark. Hence my questions on the MFR and machining marks, just as a comparison on "quality". As I recall, it was hard to find stripped lowers back in 94, and I got this one for under $160. Probably closer to $120.

    My full detail:
    Lion Logo
    Cal..223 5.56
    Mod. P.C.R. 99
    KX 42xx

    I would post some photos, but don't want to jump your thread on the MFR series.

    I use mine for hunting fox and coyote up here, as I assembled in on a 20in HBAR.....

    Jump it please! That smooth finish you see on my is consistent thru out. Only inside and above the trigger guard on the bottom of the receiver do you see what appears to be a rough seam (???). From the Oly Owners Forum a very helpful gentleman has assured me it is forged, and is the 'service rifle configuration' model K4B. '556' is crudely marked on top of the barrel. Hope that's helpful, thanks for you input. Don

    Mine reads PCR 01 has the lion and everything else you described.
    It's one with a carry handle. I'm thinking like the plinker but in carbine form.
    I had an Oly Arms catalog and had my eye on a couple of their M4's that I would order through my local GS but that's all changed now. Only modified it with an adjustable stock and then replaced that with a slide fire. Don't know when or where I'll get a chance to test it. Just got it to have some fun.
