Did not like the A-1 sights, but perfect if you plan to add a scope
Durable (5/5)	Dec 1, 2008	Phil Knowles	Eagan MN US
I've had this rifle for over 8 years and have had it misfire only a couple of times. Why? defective mags. Wolf ammo shoots well in it, as well as 5.56.

Can't go wrong (5/5)	Nov 18, 2006	Terry Pierson	syracuse Ne US
The Oly Plinker is a great Rifle.It shoots as well or better than all of my guns. After firing at least 2000 rounds,I have never had even one problem.Also very accurate rite out of the box,I did not even have to zero the sites.I belong to a group of AR 15 shooters at my gun range,all with a lot of different makes and models of the little black rifle.All who have seen the plinker in action agree it's a great deal. Don't let the name Plinker fool you,This is a lot of BANG for your buck!

Great bargain (4/5)	Aug 15, 2006	Stevie	Portland Or US
The Olympic Arms Plinker Plus AR-15 is hands down the best value to be found in an AR-15. It is the AR-15 that Colt, Bushmaster, DPMS and others don't want you to know about! (Those are all fine rifles, but in my opinion not as good of a value.) While the Plinker Plus does not have all the features of more expensive AR-15's, it also doesn't have the price tag of those weapons. And as far as function and reliability are concerned, the Plinker Plus goes "Bang" everytime...which is exactly what you want and need it to do. The build quality on these is also surprisingly good. And accuracy is typical AR-15 too, which is to say that once it's sighted in, it is very accurate. Yes, there are other AR-15's out there that do certain things better, and yes, there are other AR-15's out there that come with more bragging rights. But as far as value goes ("value" being defined as the best possible combination of price, performance and overall quality), the Oly Arms Plinker Plus is quite possibly the best value to be found in a new AR-15. The only people I've seen who don't like this rifle are the "gun snobs". "Gun snobs" are people who think that if a firearm doesn't have a high price tag, it CAN'T be very good. While there may have been a time in the past when such a philosophy made sense, these days, the idea that a gun has to be expensive to be good is absolutely ridiculous. Gun snobs, and in particular AR-15 gun snobs (who are some of the worst), simply refuse to accept the fact that this under-$600 AR-15 is indeed a very good and very capable rifle. If you're looking for a fun, reliable, accurate and versatile AR-15 that can be used for plinking, small game hunting or homeland defense, look no further. The Oly Arms Plinker Plus will do all that, for hundreds less than the competition.
Very Good (4/5)	Jun 2, 2008	Ozzie	Garcia Tx US
Rifle is reasonably accurate direct from the box. After the recommended break-in of 100 quality rounds (Fed. XM855 62gr), I fired 300 rounds of various types of ammunition at 75 - 200 yards, shots grouped well and consistant. The only ammo it did not like was surplus Norinco .223. Extractor would break the rim of the shell and would fail to remove the spent shell casing. Silver Bear HP 62gr, Remington fmjbt 62 gr, Winchester, Wolf, Federal, and Monarch worked flawlessly. This rifle is an excellent rifle for the price, and much more accurate than most semi-auto's on the market.
Customized Plinker Plus (5/5)	Dec 5, 2009	Jim Williams	Washington We US
I purchased this base model Olympic Arms Plinker Plus AR-15 with the intent of adding some furniture to make it like I want it. I added a pick rail forearm, houge grip, CAA stock with adjustable cheek piece, harris bi-pod, and I had the upper switched out with an Olympic flat top. I also have two sets of optics that I switch back and forth a 2.5x10 target and a red dot scope. I did nothing with the trigger, barrel or any other major parts, mostly cosmetic. I could not believe how well this thing shoots. I have shot Remington, Hornady, Lake City, Federal, and hand loads ranging from 55 grain to 62 grain with no problems what so ever. I have ran roughly 1500 rounds of ammo through my Customized Pliner Plus and have never had one failure. My Plinker Plus will consistantly shoot sub MOA groups out at 200 yards. Most of my friends have Bushmasters, S&W's, and Remington R-15's but all of them love my Olympic had have more than once offered to buy or trade. Do not let the price fool you, Olympic is one of the few true AR-15 manufacturers and most others only purchase parts and assemble them with their name added to the rifle. Olympic has the best warranty available (Full $$ back 60 Day, and Full Lifetime). The fit and finish out of the box was excellant with no rattle between upper and lower. Most other AR-15's that I have been around sound like a baby toy when you shake them. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and my next AR will also be an Olymopic.
Olympic Arms Plinker (5/5)	May 15, 2007	Jim Wilson	Washington WV US
This AR is as good as any made, for hundreds less. Probably the best deal I've ever got on a gun purchase. I added a collapsible stock for $30 and a quality set of front grips(USA made) for $25. I've seen guns at gun shows for almost twice as much, that were no better. If you want an affordable, quality carbine, this is the one to buy.
