Are there any bad ARs out there?

I'm with you chief!
I actually love my DTI Sierra 316/A3 MOE.
Haven't heard them mentioned.


I need to get an updated pic! Also looks like I'm not uploading my pics correctly!

Olympic is fine. Mine is 7 years old with thousands of rounds through it. Early Olympic models with the cast receivers did have problems. Their barrels do have a well justified reputation for accuracy.

One ARFCOM recently a member posted about the brand new Colt he recently got. The bolt had a major void in the face and the key was not even staked to the bolt carrier group. Colt apologists were quick to jump in with the "anybody can make a lemon" argument. If they had seen the same thing in an Olympic, Del-ton or DPMS rifle they would have jumped all over it.

As stated above, Hesse, Vulcan and Blackthorne are all reiterations of the same company that has a well earned reputation for terrible quality. They are only good for recycling so the metal can be used in a better rifle.

I would never spend money on an Olympic, and suggest the same to others.
