I have a question for the hive. I have a PWA pre-ban lower with a LOW 4-digit SN (well below the 35222 cut-off). The info in the pre-ban FAQ has a phone number listed that now appears to belong to one Mr. William R. Turner in Olympia Washington. Does anybody know where the records went? Did LMT buy them or what's up?
Where did the 35222 number come from? FYI: PWA (360) 438-3983 35222 and Below - Pre-Ban (Note:Some lowers are cast not forged. Out of business) Post-ban have a year prefix in the serial number. Rumored to have only sold lowers. |
| PWA ceased operations in Olympia in 1994. Rumor has it that lowers were continued to be machined by LMT in Milan, IL beyond that year. I used to do some business with PWA (Pac West Arms) and I can verify they never sold complete rifles. You could get everything except barrels from them. It was some way of escaping federal excise taxes or something like that. |
