Curious what anyone knows about this rifle. I have had it for ever. It looks to be late sixties in manufacture or possibly early 70s.

It has Frankford arsenal stamped on one side of the reciever and Olympic arms stamped on the other side.

I have one of those too., the sound moderator is different from the original to satify the BATFE , They were ommisioned from Olylimpic ARMs in the 80's however, for sale thru Shotgun News ect. Mine runs well since 1989 it has banged around in trucks and jeeps.;)

No kidding! I would never had guessed it was that new because it had the older type finish on it. What happened to Frankford Arsenals? Any idea?

Frankford Arsenal was located in Philadelphia, Pa. and was closed down in the late 60's or early 70's.

That,s the US gubbamint Frankford Arsenal! The name , like Springfield Arsenal we are all familiar with in Genesco Ill. was used by a company I believe in Calif. in the 80's . I can't find any thing on them though , they may have been associated with Federal Arms.
