Ummm....I don't know how to put this....as a newbie here on this forum, I am not trying to push anyone around...just set things straight.
Olympic Arms makes their own barrels and are NOT Wilson.

Here's a reply I asked on another forum and a well respected and internationally known gunsmith that maufactures custom AR's and was instrumental in the developement of the WSSM line in AR rifles and uses almost exclusively Olympic Barrels.(SUM Stainless Ultra Match -broach cut)

Go back and tell them they are wrong. Oly has always made their own barrels. In fact, Bob, fouder and CEO of Olympic Arms was making barrels for P.O. Ackley back when Ackley became a famous gun maker.
