So I'm looking at lower serial number C1228D from Olympic, I check there list and the C range of lowers are all preban but there is none that end in D while starting with C, they go C0001-C5000

Is it normal for random letter to be added? Thanks!

As per a web sight I was just looking at- the D at the end stands for "duplicate"
May have been a replacement mad by Olympic
I don't know how to link the website from my phone- will try from laptop

I saw that somewhere also, but it wasnt confirmed by any reliable source. Too bad the Oa2.org is down.

Not sure anyone is going to care about the D. I had a DPMS with an S after a preban serial number and no one even flinched on the transfer. Turns out it was made of steel.

If it ends in D and this was remade by Olympic, does it now take the date that it was remade. Wouldn't Olympic have to update their ATF records when manufacturing a new lower. So if so does it now become that date. How do you prove if its still preban with the D after the number. Just curious. Good luck

I don't think its about it being remade but having 2 very similar serial numbers and the D differentiating them.

Olympic arms use to replicate and replace cast lowers with forged lowers for a fee.

Sent your cast in and they sent you a forged back with same serial # and a D.

Same for a destroyed lower... so long as you Sent it in they replicated the serial #

The ATF put a stop to it.

Because of the recent ruling? Or because of the letter "D" suffix?

If it is in state you can do it face to face.

Where is the seller located? What state?
