Olympic Arms, aka "Oly" was founded in 1956 by Robert Schuetz, who originally named it Schuetzen Gun Works. They made barrels and worked with folks like famed gunsmith P.O. Ackley. In 1975, they began producing custom bolt action rifles and thrived. In 1982, they started to manufacture AR-style rifles and used the trade name Olympic Arms. This is where the story really starts
