Sounds good to me as long as the mags are GI or at least Orlite/Thermolds and not USA or other garbage. And as long as you are sure about that date.
Pre-ban prices are dropping. I saw my first sub-$1K SP1 the other day, and I would take a pre-ban Colt over an Oly anyday, although YMMV. If it belongs to a friend of yours perhaps you could test-drive it before plunking down the bucks. |

It doesn't seem to be a pre-ban rifle. Can you get a letter from Olympic?

Quoted: It doesn't seem to be a pre-ban rifle. Can you get a letter from Olympic? SN Range 1st Date End Date Special Notes ... UK0001 UK0448 08/27/1994 08/27/1994 I think this list means that its was born on or around 8/27/94. Which is awfuly close to the ban date of 9/13/94. What does this mean? I am so confused [:(] I know that olympic cant tell me anymore info than is on their serial number list because a fire in 2000 destroyed all of their data. Anybody else have any experise in this area? |

Oly's webssite lists UK0000 to UK 0448 as being manufactured on 8/27/94.
If you can get a letter from Oly stating that, then I'd think about it. Another consideration - I've heard numerous complaints about Oly's preban stuff, and quality problems. I own much of Oly's current stuff, and have had NO problems. So, even if it is a good rifle, you may not get a good selling price if ever you re-sell as perception is reality. Were the lower to go bad, I beleive you could have Oly remanufacture a receiver, using the same serial #, and it still be considered a pre-ban. Check with Oly to make sure my understanding is right. |
