1.) Does anyone have info on Pac West Arms. I just picked an AR(my first one) and I don't live very far from Milan, IL and I'm interested in this company. I would have liked an RRA one, but I understand they are somehow related.

2.) Is 16" the legal limit on barrel length for these?
 
Sixteen inches or more from breech face to muzzle is the US legal standard for any rifle.

Any shorter requires a permission slip from the BATFE
 
I own a PWA rifle that I built from a stripped lower. The only thing I can tell you about the company is that they are no longer in business, closed up, and quit manufacture as of March 31, 1996. I don't think they had any relationship with OLY, other than that of competitor. Of course, since their demise anyone might assume their name for a division, ..maybe Oly did. Now I do Know that Olympic had used the name and SGW Crest on some of their lowers.

I could not tell you much anything else about the quality of their product, since the balance of my rifle is 100% Colt, by choice. The lower seems to be of reasonable quality, but then again that is not really a stressed part of the rifle. The important part is that the piece is dimensionally correct and the finish is adequate, which is the case in my specimen.
