Olympic Arms was started
as Schuetzen Gun Works (SGW), established in 1956
in Colorado Springs, CO primarily as a barrel manufacturer.
The owner learned his trade from his first business
partner the famous P.O. Ackley, and continued many
of Ackley's work ethics and quality standards in the
new enterprise. The company moved to Olympia, WA in
1975, and proceeded to manufacture barrels and related
parts under the SGW name.
In 1982 Olympic Arms,
Inc. was founded to manufacture AR-Style components,
and other military rifle parts - making Oly Arms the
second oldest continuous manufacturer of AR-Style
rifles in the United States. Originally our AR receivers
were marked with not only the Oly Arms name, but also
with the SGW crest. The receivers received the rampant
lion found in our logo in 1993, and they have remained
that way ever since. We now produce some of the finest
AR-Style firearms available from a major manufacturer,
with our top-of-the-line PCR-1 Ultramatch giving shooters
sub-quarter inch groups at 100 yards on a regular
basis.
