This is the most terrifying pistol I have yet seen.

Lightweight = HSLD, amirite? :help:

Edit: I guess it’s not really a pistol, I don’t see a buffer tube. Whatever the plan, it’s still terrifying. At least the magwell doubles as a handy parmesan grater.

During the AWB, a semi-auto pistol that weighed 50oz or more was considered an assault weapon - this was an Oly Arms project to get under that weight.

“Hey, Bob, did you take the receiver off of the machine?”

“Oh SHIT! Be right back!”

Comes back a minute later with that thing

“Sorry, Frank.”

“Eh, no biggie. Someone will buy it.”

Tomorrow on Gunbroker:

“The only one in the world, for a mere, $1800 it can be YOURS!!!”

sure is fugly. :what:

And here I thought I knew stuff.

…and people wonder why I’ve switched to AK’s…:rolleyes:

Wow…some of the lengths people go to…

i:Dt would be handy for all sorts of things.

Holy smokes…I’m sure someone will buy it.:smiley:

Yet another brilliant idea by OLY Arms!

to be fair, at the time there wasn’t near the interest or technology directed to the platform there is today. Coupled with the ban language there wouldn’t be for a decade from the date of this project. OA aside, it was a solution of sorts for a few issues regarding AR pistols within the context of the ban.

It looks like something Kel-tec would make https://www.google.com/search?q=kel+tec+assault+pistol&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Pjg0UrvlKYK09QTRooHIDA&ved=0CDAQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=673&dpr=1

I think somebody got a little carried away with their router.

: )

But, yes, that is one scary looking bad boy!!

I find this very instructive. In Mass, for example, the Fed AW ban is still around, and I’ve heard stories about people who made lightening cuts to get under the 50 oz limit. Never seen one though.

What happened to the buffer system?

It moved to its new home over the barrel.

I applauded the unconventional thinking at the time, but they could have been way smarter about how they did what they did.

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that was the gas return tube (now I see the conventional gas tube over the barrel). Shoulda looked harder, but was stunned by the magwell and grip cuts.

I don’t think that would hold up as a parmesan grater; maybe a brie strainer. :bad:

. . . . . . Or CNC machinery.

PA

Dudes your looking at this wrong…

Those magwell cuts are VENTS to allow gas to escape during a KABOOM… which is inevitable when you shoot that thing.

Oh man, that is the most fugly looking pistol I’ve ever seen.
