Also, reported to be manufactured by Lewis Machine Tool (LMT).

While I dont normally advocate borrowing content from other websites I feel this information is invaluable and needs to be protected, duplicated and shared for the greater good of the shooting community.

Colt Ar15 S Serial Number Please

If you have a lower of from one of the lesser known brands and have managed to verify the date to the serial number please add your info to the comments and I will add it to the master list.

Use the information in this page to help determine when your Olympic Arms AR 15 was produced.

Please read all of the details on this page because there are many questions answered in the following paragraphs.

In those offices were housed our current as well as archival records with regards to manufacture, acquisition and distribution of firearms.

The books that we, as well as all federally licensed firearms dealers are required to keep are commonly known as Bound Books, or AD (acquisition distribution) books.

All A D book records prior to the 7th of June, 2000 are GONE.

Period. This is an unfortunate situation that severely limits our ability to provide product information for any and all AR-15 lower receivers andor complete guns manufactured prior to that date.

As a result all that we can provide is what you see below, a date range in which your serial number was manufactured.

If youd like to read why this decision was made, please read the article in the About Us section titled Pre-fire Bound Books.

Remember that Olympic Arms fully complied, and still does, with ATF regulations regarding AD books.

If youll notice, all the serial number ranges have a letter prefix but one.

The initial receivers made by Olympic Arms simply contain a 4 digit serial number, no letter prefix.

Each subsequent serial number range (either beginning with 0001, or 1001) will show a 1 or 2 letter prefix.

These prefix series are divided by a date range to their right.

In other words, the ledger books were not large enough to contain all of the numbers (0001-9999), in one book.

For that reason, there is a beginning date and end date for each ledger.

If there is only one date listed after the serial numbers in column 2 andor 2, all of those numbers were manufactured on that same day.

The comments as listed would apply to all of the serial numbers with the prefix listed to the left.

Most were made for other manufacturers such as Palmetto Armory.

I have compiled this list for the purposes of sharing information only.

This is not intended to be used in any way except for personal entertainment.

It is a compilation of both personal information and information submitted from others from the Internet.

It should be noted that it is a felony to possess a Post-Ban (newly assembled after Sept 13, 1994) assault weapon.

Double asterisk () under Bushmaster, a person on the internet e-mailed me that he had a lower that was shipped stripped (thus not a complete rifle) in 1991 from Bushmaster with serial 0327XX ALWAYS CALL TO VERIFY.
