Olympic OA96 Pistol: A Loophole in the Assault Weapons Ban

www.forgottenwe...
/ forgottenweapons
In 1993, Olympic Arms introduced an AR-15 with a side folding stock, as well as a stockless - and buffer-tube-less - pistol version. They did this by relocating the recoil spring of the AR to a tube running above the barrel and receiver. It was a clever modification (although the execution left something to be desired), but it came at a very unfortunate time. The very next year, in 1994, the US Assault Weapons Ban was enacted and Olympic’s pistols were prohibited from production.
However, Olympic recognized that the definition of “assault pistol” was based first on a semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. If the magazine were not detachable, the gun was not an “assault pistol”, regardless of any other features it might have. So they introduced the OA-96 in 1996, with a 30-round fixed magazine, as well as a barrel shroud, pistol grip, and flash suppressor. In order to reload it, they incorporated a button to easy hinge the upper receiver open, allowing access to the magazine.
This was a slick workaround, but of course what they and their customers really wanted was a detachable magazine. Olympic went immediately to work on that, and introduced the OA-98 two years later…

It's a little more complicated than that, *assault rifles* replaced older subguns like the M3, MP40, and PPsH-41 as a frontline military weapon, but subguns and PDWs (which is a term people only use because it's newer and shinier than SMG) have retained their niche as weapons for vehicle drivers, special forces, counter-terror, and SWAT teams.

[@JumaiPL]

When ATF decided that shouldering braces is fine.

[@HughesEnterprises]

There's always been an interest in SBR's and SBS's mostly for their being compact and concealable and easily transported without people knowing you're carrying a firearm. The M1 Carbine was the compact "survivalist" gun for 50 years with pistol and folding stock versions. The Mini-14 with the folding stock in my profile pic was another popular choice for those people. There are a lot more "survivalist" people today than there ever have been and an AK/AR pistol and half a dozen mags makes for a great bug out/ truck gun. Even better when equipped with a brace. Besides that, here in WA you can drive around with a loaded AR/AK pistol and mags in your vehicle with a concealed pistol license. With a rifle/shotgun it can't be loaded in the vehicle. It's all the pros of an SBR without the Class 3 cons. If you happen to accidentally shoulder a pistol brace most work just as well as a normal stock.

[@capman911]

Because an H&K MP5 is too expensive. So build the AR 9mm variant. AR15 but in 9mm or 40 caliber. Any ar15 upper will work you just need the ar9mm lower receiver and the bolt carrier group and the barrel. The trigger group is the same.

Years ago, my uncle's best buddy (whom he would shoot with) had an OA-96 and let me shoot it. He bought it used, and I know that it must have been right around the time the OA-98 was released. See, this guy fit just about every stereotype of a hardcore handloader that you could fit into the book: he'd ask me for my spent brass if it was Boxer-primed, a chrono was part of his range bag, he'd have these little labels made from masking tape on his loads indicating what was what, etc., etc. Anyway, he tended to load slightly hot; not crazy, but a little on the hot side. I remember he picked up an OA-98, looked at the skeletonization, and told me he'd be stunned if it DIDN'T fail. So he wound up buying one of these, JB Weld and all. In perfect fairness, the OA-96 was accurate (in terms of the 20 rounds I put through it; I asked to go through the reloading procedure after firing my initial ten and he did say "sure"), but that was really the best you could say for it. I think anyone who has ever fired one of these or handled one of these (or an OA-93 or OA-98) will probably understand, but there was a certain "fiddlyness" to the charging handle where it was not at all smooth, it had this Rube Goldberg/cobbled together feel to it, and ironically, if you wanted to fire it off a sandbag (something my uncle's buddy loved then and to my knowledge still to this day loves doing), well, you needed to stack four or five sandbags because of the 30-round mag body. And it was that last point that really killed the fun of it for my uncle's buddy. One of the things I know he wanted to do (but never did...he wound up selling it and doing a pistol build on a DPMS receiver) was, after the AWB sunsetted, to try and see if he could get the mag out because it made more sense to run it with a 20-round mag off one large sandbag. Well, surprise surprise, all that effort to make the OA-96 ban-compliant made it impossible to remove the mag body and he just got rid of it. But firing it at fifty yards--especially with his precious handloads off 4-5 sandbags stacked one on top of another--is something I will not soon forget, even though we are talking all the way back in 2002.

There's an experimental model of one of these for sale in the UK. Normally handguns and centre fire rifles are banned here, but there's an area of the law that allows you to own handguns for the base of collecting (such as military trials pistols or ones with value like that) so i may be able to buy it in the UK. will be great if i can

[@SPAZTICCYTOPLASM]

Someone should have introduced some law makers to a 32 pounder. As the founding fathers intended.

[@dyzastrus5450]

Thank you for clarifying that it is not a loophole. It’s merely a lawfully creative solution to an unnecessary ban.

[@artisticevan2358]

Yeah I was like “ how do you reload it? “ then he flipped the damn thing open and I was like “ oh shit!”

[@jakejake7162]

Great review! I wish you added some clips of shooting. With your knowledge and some shooting content, your channel would be unmatched! Thumbs up this guy everyone!

[@jessicasimp4459]

Do you know that Olympic Arms also makes the first 9 mm AR-15 because it predates the Colt 9 mm SMG, according to Tim from MAC :)

[@codyopperman5930]

Thanks for the info on SBRs and SBSs

"Olympic didn't want to just FOLD UP and go away" Wah wah wah

I want one! 😭 beautiful piece of work.

3:32 next time warn me with a heads up, I was eating and almost threw up.

[@jamesburk8145]

I had to stop at the JB weld. That was just comedy gold. The tactical advantage of it suddenly became almost null compared to just a handgun you can reload repeatedly and it's like they were in court and they said no and someone just had some glue and was like "hand me the thing, HOW ABOUT NOW!?"

I was thinking an early prototype.

[@collinb.8542]

Kinda does look like a bolter really XD. Just figure out how to combine it with one of those 50s/60s gyro rocket pistols and there ya go.

[@tomfoolery2913]

@@collinb.8542 and up the caliber a bit

[@KC-bg1th]

The LAR-15 up here in Canada also gives us Canadians a loophole. The magazine used in it is considered a pistol mag despite being compatible with any AR-15; it bypasses the restriction we have on rifle magazines having a 5 round capacity.

[@naenaemister5048]

All I imagine is some guy pulling out a lasersighted acog extended mag out of his pocket

Looks like I found the inspiration for the Ruger Mark 4 take down! Very interesting! I would love to own that beauty! Great video! Thanks!

i love it .Thank You man for the upload!

Another chibi AR-15.

[@evilcowboy]

I've got the same fore grip on my AR as this thing only it is a longer version that goes on a rifle, they balance the rifle really nicely.

[@jic1]

Ian should do a video on the Southern Gun Company's Lever Release ARs, because they are another engineering solution to a political problem (in this case, the complete ban on civilian centerfire semi-auto rifles in the UK).

[@pupinator98]

any idea if you can loophole centerfire by making the site of impact a few mm off of center or...?

[@WJS774]

@@pupinator98 No, you can't. It's typically described as "centerfire semi-auto" that is banned, but actually it's not; it's _all_ semi-autos _except_ for .22LR (other rimfires are _not_ exempt).

Clean and Present Danger with Harrison Ford uses the gun, also really good Jack Ryan movie

They should make a Barrett .50 pistol conversion

[@qdaniele97]

This reminds me of that Law & Order episode where an arms manufacturing company gets brought to trial for making a gun that becomes full-auto after grinding a small pin with a file. They are cleared of all charges cause the gun was "obviously not intended to be used like that".

[@shakenbasher2751]

Ahem, as a great man once said,”Guns always find a way.”

[@onpsxmember]

For years I wanted to know about a specific movie gun and stumbled about the imfdb... In the Lethal Weapon 4 intro is that crazy armoured guy with the flame thrower and a full auto OA-93. It got a buffer tube so it would cycle with blanks.

[@nateee2970]

Everyone at Olympic is a God damn madlad, I respect them

[@arthurmorgan2418]

I would buy one for that reason alone, because their madlads.

[@madscientist9523]

I've seen this gun in Tom Clancy's film, 'Clear and Present Danger' from 1994. The gun that the Clark (William Defoe) used, if I'm not mistaken. At first I thought this weapon was only a modification of the M4 because it looks similar.

[@annadelsiena]

Praise be to Gun Jesus, for he has praised us with more Olympic Arms!

[@xGSFxGoat]

Weird how they changed their lower receiver to have no mag-release button, yet there's still the raised fence that guards the mag-release button from being accidentally pressed.
