I thought ZM was making them under license from Olympic.
Just like Dedicated Technology is making the WSSM Ar's under license from Olympic.


Because of demand for vanilla Ar's Olympic is running overtime just trying to keep up with demand. Alternate caliber stuff and non standard AR stuff just isn't being made.(or at least turning out very slowly)
For example the K23P (Standard AR pistol) orders are at least a year behind. The OA-pistol series like the one shown above haven't left the factory since the election. The OA series carbines like mentioned above have been discontinued. They only sold a couple hundred a year.

For alternate non-standard AR's, Olympic is now concentrating on the "sporting and hunting" market with their 30 cal WSSM called the 30 OSSM which exceeds 30-06 energy and velocity.
They are supposed to also release a .458" version that exceeds the 45-70.

Both of these cartridges put the 30RAR, 458 SOCOM and 450 Bushamster to shame. Big boy power without getting into the big boy AR-10 chassis.
