    If both upper and lower are Oly. And they were made for each other then pretty good. Oly's have a problem with switching uppers to lowers and visa versa. I would go with Bushmaster. My 2 cents

    What a great day! I have one convert! Thank you kbbandit for being accurate in your description.

    I think the Oly rifles are generally less well-regarded than Colt and Bushmaster, but they are fine for plinking and defense.

    I'm real happy with my PCR, it more accurate than I thought it would be, good enough to hunt groundhogs.

    Thanks, Grizztribefans@sssnet.com

    The only problem I had with Olympic Arms AR's involved using cheap Chinese ammo, it would not feed or not eject it. Use good ammo and it worked like a charm. This was about 5 or 6 years ago. I still prefer the old Colt SP1 though. It has never let me down.

    I've been very pleased with my Oly PCR-4. I did have to polish the feed ramps when brand new, it would not feed hollowpoints.

    Since then it is very reliable and very accurate, I would buy another.
