what happened to oly arms in the manufacturers forums? BTW hello everyone,1st post |
|
OK, that was funny... Seems to me that if the Avila's want to associate themselves with manufacturers on their site that actually contribute to the AR15 "mystique," then it is their right to do so on their privately-owned business. Much the same way that OlyArms chooses to associate themselves with the "low-end" crowd on their privately-owned business. |
I'd love to hear the story behind this. I saw the mention in Unintended Consequences about BATF nailing a character who was apparently supposed to be Jerry Drasen (nesarD's owner), but never heard about why. FWIW, Drasen's daughter-in-law was pretty hot. I used to go by their table at Lake County just to say hi.

71_Hour Achmed, There was a thread on on the "Build It Yourself" section the other week that outlined the history of Nesard, Sendra, M&A and Model 1. I had always heard that they were related by blood, marriage, divorce etc. and that thread really cleared things up. In a nutshell, Nesard was selling SBR kits with receivers, 11.5" barrels, 5.5" flash suppressors, and instructions of silver soldering and blind pinning. Anyone else know more? |
Danke, Herr Schnert! Wissen Sie einige Wo"rter in die Themazeile? Ich kann keine Themen finden mit "Nesard" oder "M&A" darin. |
Shit I would own a Oly over a Colt any day. Colt from the get has sold out the AR15 people with there sear blocks large pivit holes etc. Pay for the name if you want.  COLT But hey thats just me. You have a point about Hesse though I will give you that.

71-Hour_Achmed, That thread might have been deleted. It was chugging along until someone mentioned Olympic Arms and then ka-bam! Two board members just started going after one another tit for tat over Olympic Arms and government contracts. You know how it goes: Member A: "They make super secret weapons for the Delta Forces!" Member B: "No way!" Member A: "Yes way!" Member B: "No way!" Member A: "Yes way!" Member B: "Show me!" Member A: "You're a dork!" Member B: "Say, aren't you an Olympic distributor?" Member A: "That's beside the point... and ya know what? You're a TROLL!" According to legend... Dransen owned both Sendra (lowers) and Nesard (parts). Nesard became infamous for selling anything to anyone no questions asked and no records kept. This in turn angered the ATF. When Drasen sold Sendra lowers with Nesard CAR-15 kits (11.5" tubes and removeable 5.5" suppressors) the ATF had what they needed to put an end to the business. The family split (divorce?) and that spawned the birth of M&A and Model 1 Sales. Can anyone else locate the thread or retell the Drasen story? |
