Own 2. No problems with neither.

Run them hard regularly, still no problems (as Gomer Pyle says... Surprise Surprise).

It just doesn't have the snob appeal because of the higher price tag.

That chart needs to be updated. I own a Armalite M15 A4 16" midlength, lots of things not marked on the chart that are on the M15. Not to mention the trigger which started out kinda rough after 150 rounds rivals any RRA Match 2 stage I've ever fired and its way more accurate than any of the Bushy Carbines I've ever fired or owned.

I went with my Oly (9mm) becuase the shop I frequent has one in their rental fleet. The rental gun gets used and abused, and despite being cleaned maybe 2-3 times a year, it continues to run like a champ. I rented it, liked it, and bought an upper.

I'll also say that I had a fantastic experience with Oly from a customer service standpoint.

Well, It states that olys dont have m4 feed ramps mine does it states, it does not have double shields handguards mine does, it also states that it does not have properly staked gas key witah again mine does. Its a good chart but missing some things. And yes i got mine used i bought it from a friend,I was with him when he got it new so i know he did not do any mods to it. It is a k3b-m4

Good to know. I'm gonna give their 9mm upper a shot(no pun intended).

Talk to "rob_s" at m4carbines.net. He may be able to investigate and in fact update his chart.

I didn't compile "the chart"....found it on m4carbine.net

http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread....ighlight=chart

feel free to drop by there and add your comments so he can update it.

ETA: I've sent an email to Oly asking about M4 feedramps and double shielded handguards since I found no mention of either on the website.

Oly would still be my last pick if I was buying a brand new AR

Oly makes pure crap. Don't bother with them they are a total waste of money.
