My AR is an Oly, no complaints. I've taken it to the range several times now and it functions great, very accurate. The only problems I have had are with the Russian ammo. The Russian ammo gives me stuck case problems, probably the laquer on the case. After scrubbing out the chamber, and switching to brass cased ammo, the problem goes away.

I have a pre ban Olympic CAR 15, shoots great! Loves the russian junk ammo, has very little wear after a few thousand rounds.
